Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Economically, legumes (Fabaceae) represent the second most important family of crop
plants after the grass family, Poaceae. Grain legumes account for 27% of world crop …

The study of genetic diversity between a crop and its wild relatives may yield fundamental
insights into evolutionary history and the process of domestication.• In this study, we …

Salinity is one of the major environmental constraints limiting crop plant yields around the
world. Therefore, understanding the salt-tolerant mechanism and improving crop salt …

Soybean (Glycine max) is an important legume that is used to fulfill the need of protein and
oil of large number of population across the world. There are large numbers of soybean …

Global climate change has threatened world crop production and food security. Decoding
the adaptive genetic basis of wild relatives provides an invaluable genomic resource for …

The maturity date of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is sensitive to photoperiod, which
varies with latitude and growing seasons. The maturity group (MG) system, composed of 13 …

Background Flowering time is a domestication trait of Glycine max and varies in soybeans,
yet, a gene for flowering time variation has not been associated with soybean domestication …
