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 …

Invertases (INVs) and pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are essential enzymes coordinating
carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses, and sugar signaling. INVs catalyzes the …

In higher plants, invertases hydrolyze sucrose (Suc), the major end product of
photosynthesis, into glucose (Glc) and fructose (Fru), which are used as nutrients, energy …

Sucrose is the main photosynthesis product of plants and the fundamental carbon skeleton
monomer and energy supply for seed formation and development. Drought stress induces …

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 …

Seed yield, determined mainly by seed numbers and seed weight, is the primary target of
soybean breeding. Identifying the genes underlying yield‐related traits is of great …

Soybean is considered one of the important crops among legumes. Due to high nutritional
contents in seed (proteins, sugars, oil, fatty acids, and amino acids), soybean is used …

Background Melon shows a broad diversity in fruit morphology and quality, which is still
underexploited in breeding programs. The knowledge of the genetic basis of fruit quality …

Soybean (Glycine max) was domesticated from its wild relative Glycine soja. One‐hundred‐
seed weight is one of the most important domesticated traits determining soybean yield; …

Seed size/weight plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet only few genes
controlling seed size have been characterized in soybean. Here, we perform a genome …
