The parasitic dodder weed doesn't just sap soybean's strength alone - it lets in fungal gatecrashers like Alternaria too, despite soybean's attempts to biochemically barricade its roots with flavonoids.

Computer Modelling of Crop Alignments Could Fight Weeds in an Environmentally Way
Light interception is closely related to canopy architecture. Few studies based on multi-view photography have been conducted in a field environment, particularly studies that link 3D plant architecture with a radiation...

Intraspecific variation in soy across the leaf economics spectrum
Leaf economics traits are central in understanding and predicting the effects of plant biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. Using soybean (Glycine max) – one of the world’s most widespread crops, Hayes et al. show...
Taking Glycine to the max!
The Story of Soy by Christine du Bois 2018. Reaktion Books Ltd. Before encountering Christine du Bois’ book, The Story of Soy, I had little real idea about what soy was. OK, as a botanist I know it was a legume, Glycine...

Evolution and structural diversification of Nictaba-like lectin genes in food crops
Lectins are an inherent component of plant immunity systems. Van Holle et al. study the occurrence and evolution of the family of Nictaba-like lectin genes and report the omnipresence of these genes in a wide range of...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal growth responses and phosphorous efficiency in soybean genotypes
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a key role in phosphate (P) uptake of many crop species, but the mechanisms by which P uptake in the AM symbiosis is controlled are only poorly understood. Wang et al. examined the...
Redox markers for drought-induced nodule senescence in soybean
Marquez-Garcia et al. study the effects of drought in leaves and nodules of soybean (Glycine max) and find that while the physiological impact is perceived throughout the shoot, stress-induced senescence occurs only in...
Legume genomics and next-generation sequencing (Invited Review)
The legume family (Leguminosae) consists of approximately 17 000 species and those used as crops provide protein and carbohydrates for over 300 million people world-wide. O’Rourke et al. review how next-generation...
Variation of genes responsible for maturity loci in soybean
This study's results suggest the existence of unidentified genes for flowering in soybean.

Leaf hydraulic conductance at elevated [CO2] and temperature
Leaf hydraulic properties are strongly linked with transpiration and photosynthesis in many species, but it is not known if gas exchange and hydraulics will have co-ordinated responses to climate change. Locke et al...
The role of ROS in soybean seed germination
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can promote seed germination in a number of species but their role in soybean has not been fully determined. Ishibashi et al. use the anti-oxidant N...
