Domestication refers to artificial selection and breeding of wild species to obtain cultivated
variants that thrive in man-made niches and meet human or industrial requirements. Several …

Soybean is a major oil crop and is also a dominant source of nutritional protein. The 20%
seed oil content (SOC) of soybean is much lower than that in most oil crops and the fatty acid …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve
cereal production and quality, and ensure food security. Here we present the genetic …

Rhizobial infection and root nodule formation in legumes require recognition of signal
molecules produced by the bacteria and their hosts. Here, we show that rhizobial transfer …

Soybean (Glycine max) production is severely affected in unfavorable environments.
Identification of the regulatory factors conferring stress tolerance would facilitate soybean …

Seed morphology and quality of cultivated soybean (Glycine max) have changed
dramatically during domestication from their wild relatives, but their relationship to selection …

Salt stress is a major challenge that has a negative impact on soybean growth and
productivity. Therefore, it is important to understand the regulatory mechanism of salt …

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important oilseed crops. However, the regulatory
mechanism that governs the process of oil accumulation in soybean remains poorly …

Resistance to pod shattering is a key domestication-related trait selected for seed production
in many crops. Here, we show that the transition from shattering in wild soybeans to …

As a leading oilseed crop that supplies plant oil and protein for daily human life, increasing
yield and improving nutritional quality (high oil or protein) are the top two fundamental goals …
