The production of extreme or 'transgressive'phenotypes in segregating hybrid populations
has been speculated to contribute to niche divergence of hybrid lineages. Here, we assess …

▪ Abstract Over the years, the evolutionary importance of natural hybridization has been a
contentious issue. At one extreme is the relatively common view of hybridization as an …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield, when regressed on water needed to replenish 0 to
100% seasonal evapotranspiration (ET), generates an estimate of season‐specific water …

Soybean was domesticated in China and has become one of the most important oilseed
crops. Due to bottlenecks in their introduction and dissemination, soybeans from different …

Gene and genome duplications underlie the origins of evolutionary novelty in plants.
Soybean, Glycine max, is considered to be a paleopolyploid species with a complex …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed protein is negatively correlated with seed oil and
often with yield. Our goal was to examine the basis for these correlations at a quantitative …

Molecular markers provide a rapid approach to breeding for desired agronomic traits. To use
them, it is necessary to determine the linkage between quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and such …

A set of 184 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from soybean vars. Kefeng No. 1×
Nannong 1138-2 was used to construct a genetic linkage map. The two parents exhibit …

Adaptability of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] to a wide range of latitudes is attributed to
the natural variation in the major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control flowering …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds contain high levels of protein and oil useful for
human consumption. Increasing emphasis in breeding programs to produce soybeans with …
