"There are 26 wild species of Glycine perennials that grow in Australia," he said. One species, Glycine tomentella, was of particular interest because it has genes for resistance to soybean rust ...

Here we show that seed-coat impermeability in wild soybean is controlled by a single gene, designated GmHs1-1, which encodes a calcineurin-like metallo-phosphoesterase transmembrane protein. GmHs1-1 ...

Jun Wang and colleagues report whole-genome resequencing of 17 wild and 14 cultivated soybean accessions. They characterize population structure, patterns of linkage disequilibrium and selection ...

Gene discovery may lead to new varieties of soybean plants Date: May 14, 2010 Source: Purdue University Summary: Just months after the soybean genome was sequenced, a scientist has discovered a ...

We detect 230 selective sweeps and 162 selected copy number variants by analysis of 302 resequenced wild, landrace and improved soybean accessions at >11× depth.

The team combined and synthesized the data from the previous studies and found wild bees and honey bees can improve soybean yields upward of 20% when they help to pollinate the soybean plants. The ...

Wild soybean has tiny seeds, flowers and leaves. Everything grows larger in cultivated soybean. The pubescent form of cultivated soybean also grows longer stems and leaves in forms that lend ...

The team will try to understand more deeply the molecular mechanisms of broad SCN resistance in wild relatives of farmed soybean plants. “We know that the wild soybean Glycine soja, for example ...

Six new soybean processing facilities or plant expansions in Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota opened in less than two years. At least four more projects in Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana and Louisiana are ...
