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.
Field phenotyping of Soybean roots for drought stress tolerance
The strong association between root and nodule parameters and whole plant productivity demonstrated in this study suggests the potential application of simple root phenotypic markers in screening for drought tolerance in soybean.
