Root architecture traits are belowground traits that harness moisture and nutrients from the soil and are equally important to above-ground traits in crop improvement. In soybean, the root length locus was previously mapped on chromosome 16. The has been characterized by transcriptome analysis of roots in near-isogenic lines (NILs), gene expression analysis in a pair of lines contrasting with alleles of , and differential gene expression analysis in germplasm accessions contrasting with root length.

In this study, a soybean natural population was evaluated for salt tolerance during the germination stage, focusing on key germination traits, including germination rate (GR), germination energy (GE), and germination index (GI). It was seen that under salt stress, obvious inhibitions were found on these traits, with GR, GE, and GI diminishing by 32% to 54% when compared to normal conditions.

(MM, 2 = 2 = 14), an important diploid species from the wheat tertiary gene pool, contains many unique genes/traits of potential use for wheat breeding, such as disease resistance. In this study, three sister lines, NAL-32, NAL-33, and NAL-34, were identified from a wheat-. distant cross using fluorescence in situ hybridization, simple sequence repeat markers, and PCR-based unique gene markers combined with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis.

This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with primary root length (PRL) during soybean seedling growth in hydroponic conditions. A total of 103 F recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between K099 (short primary root) and Fendou 16 (long primary root) were used to identify QTL for PRL in soybean.

To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) of 100SW, 120 BCF chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) were cultivated over three years. The CSSLs were developed from a cross between the cultivated soybean variety 'Jackson' and the wild soybean accession 'JWS156-1', followed by continuous backcrossing using 'Jackson' variety as a recurrent parent.

In this study, we isolated a gene (Ncl) that could synchronously regulate the transport and accumulation of Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) from a Brazilian soybean cultivar FT-Abyara using map-based cloning strategy.

Merr) cultivars with high salt tolerance is an effective way of maintaining sustainable production in areas where soybean growth is threatened by salt stress.
