The current status of photoperiod adaptability in soybean.

Flowering represents the transition from vegetative stage to reproductive stage. As a photoperiod- sensitive crop, soybean can perceive changes in photoperiod to regulate flowering and reproductive periods, thereby influencing soybean yield and other agronomic traits, and determining the photoperiodic adaptability. Therefore, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of photoperiod on flowering and reproductive periods in soybean is one of the hotspots in soybean research.
