Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) process makes legume crops self-sufficient in nitrogen (N)
in sharp contrast to cereal crops that require an external input by N-fertilizers. Since the latter …

Photosynthesis is the major process leading to primary production in the Biosphere. There is
a total of 7000bn tons of CO2 in the atmosphere and photosynthesis fixes more than 100bn …

Areas within an agricultural field in the same season often differ in crop productivity despite
having the same crop** history, crop genotype, and management practices. One …

A set of nested association map** (NAM) families was developed by crossing 40 diverse
soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genotypes to the common cultivar. The 41 parents were …

Soil flooding has emerged as a serious threat to modern agriculture due to the rapid global
warming and climate change, resulting in catastrophic crop damage and yield losses. The …

warming and climate change, resulting in catastrophic crop damage and yield losses. The …

Soybean fixes atmospheric nitrogen through the symbiotic rhizobia bacteria that inhabit root
nodules. Drought stress negatively affect symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in soybean. The …

Background Salinity is an abiotic stress that negatively affects soybean [Glycine max (L.)
Merr.] seed yield. Although a major gene for salt tolerance was identified and consistently …

Drought causes significant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield losses each year in rain-
fed production systems of many regions. Genetic improvement of soybean for drought …

Background Chlorophyll is a major component of chloroplasts and a better understanding of
the genetic basis of chlorophyll in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] might contribute to …
