Potato is a crucial food and cash crop with high yield potential in many parts of the Bajhang
district. However, achieving optimal yields can be hindered by inconsistent NPK fertilizer …

Advances in imaging hardware allow high throughput capture of the detailed three-
dimensional (3D) structure of plant canopies. The point cloud data is typically post …

Key message A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) modulating soybean (Glycine max)
branch angle was identified by linkage analysis using two bi-parental mapping populations …

The availability of high-dimensional genomic data and advancements in genome-based
prediction models (GP) have revolutionized and contributed to accelerated genetic gains in …

Moving from sole cropping to intercropping is a transformative change in agriculture,
contributing to yield. Soybeans adapt to light conditions in intercropping by adjusting the …

Background In plants, the leaf functions as a solar panel, where photosynthesis converts
carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen. In soybean, leaf type traits …

Background In soybeans, faster canopy coverage (CC) is a highly desirable trait but a fully
covered canopy is unfavorable to light interception at lower levels in the canopy with most of …

Branch angles are an important plant morphological trait affecting light interception within
forest canopies. However, studies on branch angles have been limited due to the time …

Caragana, a xerophytic shrub genus widely distributed in northern China, exhibits distinctive
geographical substitution patterns and ecological adaptation diversity. This study employed …

Progress in soybean (Glycine max L.) breeding has led to a reduction in optimal seeding
rates due to enhanced branching capacity over time. However, less is known about the …
