Crop biomass production is a function of the efficiencies with which sunlight can be
intercepted by the canopy and then converted into biomass. Conversion efficiency has been …

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed composition and yield are a function of genetics (G),
environment (E), and management (M) practices, but contribution of each factor to seed …

Identification of causes of gaps between yield potential and producer yields has been
restricted to small geographic areas. In the present study, we developed a novel approach …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is the world's most widely grown leguminous crop and
an important source of protein and oil for food and feed. Soybean yields have increased …

Soybean improvement via plant breeding has been critical for the success of the crop. The
objective of this study was to quantify genetic change in yield and other traits that occurred …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., has been grown as a forage and as an important
protein and oil crop for thousands of years. Domestication, breeding improvements and …

Rising atmospheric [CO2] is a uniform, global change that increases C3 photosynthesis and
could offset some of the negative effects of global climate change on crop yields. Genetic …

Seed development is a temperature-sensitive process that is much more vulnerable than
vegetative tissues to abiotic stresses. High temperatures during soybean (Glycine max) seed …

Digital imagery can help to quantify seasonal changes in desirable crop phenotypes that
can be treated as quantitative traits. Because limitations in precise and functional …

Genetic progress is assessed to estimate its contribution to on‐farm yield increases and to
identify traits that have been improved over some period of time. Although Argentina is a …
