Environmental conditions that change temperature, light environment, water status, or
hormone balance lead to altered gene expression in plants. At the molecular level, one of …

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 …

Key message Genetic improvement of soybean protein meal is a complex process because
of negative correlation with oil, yield, and temperature. This review describes the progress in …

The growing conditions of a parent plant may affect the degree of dormancy of its seeds.
This has been demonstrated in numerous species, both wild and cultivated. The evidence …

This chapter discusses: seed position affecting seed germination; age effects; environmental
effects; day-length during seed development; influences of light quality during maturation on …

High temperature stress during seed filling in controlled environments reduces soybean
[Glycine max (L.) Merrill] seed germination and vigor, but the effect of high temperature in the …

In this review, changes in plant gene expression in response to environmental stresses are
discussed using the examples of high and low temperature treatments. While some changes …

High temperature and humidity (HTH) stress during soybean seed development and
maturity in the field easily leads seed to pre-harvest deterioration. However, how proteins …

Species with physically dormant (PY) seeds make up over 25% of plant species in a number
of ecologically important ecosystems around the globe, such as savannah and …

In coming decades, increasing temperatures are expected to impact crop yield and seed
quality. To develop low input systems, the effects of temperature and sulfur (S) nutrition in …
