Researchers Develop GenoBaits Soy40K to Assist Soybean Breeding and Genetic Study
08 Jun 2022Over a 5,000-year period, cultivated soybean was domesticated from wild soybean in China, and then extensively spread throughout the world. Soybean is a multipurpose crop that accounts for 56% of global oilseed production and more than 25% of prot...

Researchers Boost Rice Yield by Overcoming Trait Tradeoff between Panicle Number and Size
24 Apr 2022Crop breeding is largely constrained by tradeoffs among different agronomic traits. Since many of these tradeoffs are caused by gene pleiotropy, reducing gene pleiotropy may make it easier to overcome these tradeoffs in plant breeding. However, fe...

Study Highlights an Effective Technique to Overcome the Rice Yield Constraint
24 Apr 2022Tradeoffs between diverse agronomic traits constrain crop breeding to a great extent. Because gene pleiotropy causes many of these tradeoffs, lowering gene pleiotropy may make it simpler to overcome tradeoffs in plant breeding. Few successful tech...
