Accelerating genetic gains in legumes for the development of prosperous smallholder agriculture: integrating genomics, phenotyping, systems modelling and agronomy
To achieve faster genetic gains in legumes in rainfed conditions, this review proposes the integration of modern genomics approaches, high throughput phenomics, and simulation modelling to support crop improvement that leads to improved varieties that perform with the appropriate agronomy.
Drought Stress Responses in Soybean Roots and Nodules
The research presented in this journal article concludes that the direct screening of root and nodule traits in the field, as well as identification of genes, proteins and also metabolites involved in such traits, is essential to gain a better understanding of the regulation of root architecture, bacteroid development and lifespan in relation to drought tolerance in soybean.
