Amino acid permeases (AAPs) play important roles in transporting amino acids in plant species, leading to increased low-nitrogen tolerance, grain yield, or protein content.However, very few AAPs have been characterized in soybean (Glycine max).In this study, we scanned the soybean reference genome and identified a total of 36 AAP genes 3 Piece Dini
