Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Many newly created early maturing varieties exhibit poor stress resistance and low yield,
whereas stress-resistant varieties are typically late maturing. For this reason, the …

Soybean (Glycine max) grows in a wide range of latitudes, but it is extremely sensitive to
photoperiod, which reduces its yield and ability to adapt to different environments. Therefore …

Soybean (Glycine max) morphogenesis and flowering time are accurately regulated by
photoperiod, which determine the yield potential and limit soybean cultivars to a narrow …

Shoot branching is fundamentally important in determining soybean yield. Here, through
genome-wide association study, we identify one predominant association locus on …

Photoperiodic plants perceive changes in day length as seasonal cues to orchestrate their
vegetative and reproductive growth. Although it is known that the floral transition of …

Photoperiod responsiveness is a key factor limiting the geographic distribution of cultivated
soybean and its wild ancestor. In particular, the genetic basis of the adaptation in wild …

Seed size is one of the most important agronomic traits determining the yield of crops.
Cloning the key genes controlling seed size and pyramiding their elite alleles will facilitate …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation boosts legume growth and production in nitrogen-poor soils. It
has long been assumed that fixed nitrogen increases reproductive success, but until now …

The sharp increase in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) acreage in the late 20th century
and early 21st century is due to the demand for edible oil and feed protein. However, a …
