Variation of genes responsible for maturity loci in soybean
This study's results suggest the existence of unidentified genes for flowering in soybean.
New crops?
Back at the UKPSF conference, marker-assisted selection (MAS) was explored by Ian Graham (Centre for Novel Agricultural Products, University of York) in considering molecular breeding in novel crops. MAS is based not on...
