The resultant DNA from lossoffunction mutation can be recruited in biological evolution
and development. Here, we present such a rare and potential case of “to gain by loss” as a …

Soybean is one of the most versatile crops for oil production, human diets, and feedstocks.
The vegetative biomass of soybean is an important determinant of seed yield and is crucial …

Stem growth habit dictates plant architecture and influences flowering and podding (seed
setting), making it an essential morphological and breeding agronomic trait of soybean …

Crop domestication has resulted in nutrient losses, so evaluating the reshaping of
phytonutrients is crucial for improving nutrition. Soybean is an ideal model due to its …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is an important factor affecting the yield and quality of leguminous
crops. Nodulation is regulated by a complex network comprising several transcription …

In response to changeable season, plants precisely control the initiation of flowering in
appropriate time of the year to ensure reproductive success. Day length (photoperiod) acts …

Precise timing of flowering in plants is critical for their growth and reproductive processes.
One factor controlling flowering time is the cycle of light and darkness within a day, known as …

Flowering time and active accumulated temperature (AAT) are two key factors that limit the
expanded production especially for soybean across different regions. Wild soybean …

Soybean (Glycine max), a typical shortday plant (SDP) domesticated in temperate regions,
has expanded to high latitudes where daylengths are long from soybean emergence to …

To expand crop planting areas, reestablishment of crop latitude adaptation based on genetic
variation in photoperiodic genes can be performed, but it is quite time consuming. By …
