Identifying biomarkers for low phosphorus tolerance in soybean
Can a better understanding of proteomic responses to low phosphorus conditions be harnessed to improve future soybean varieties?
SoyFACE for 3D soybean canopy modelling under elevated carbon dioxide
New mathematical model dissects how soybean plants might grow larger in the future.

Spectacular speckles: silicon only disguises the signs of manganese toxicity in sunflowers and soybeans
Silicon is essential for string plants, but new research reveals that it can also hide evidence of poisoning in plants.
Turgor-Driven Plant Growth Inside a Soybean Functional-Structural Plant Model
Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to mechanistically describe plant growth, combining the effect of both water and carbon availability. The high level of spatio-temporal variation and diurnal...

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...

Effects of changes in leaf properties mediated by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on foliar absorption of Zn, Mn, and Fe
This study highlights the potential importance of the combined thickness of the cuticle and epidermal cell wall in the absorption of foliar-applied nutrients.

A plasma membrane H+-ATPase regulating soybean root resistance to aluminium toxicity
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop production in acidic soils. The plasma membrane H+-ATPase is involved in regulating resistance to Al via enhanced citrate exudation by soybean...
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...
