Article Synopsis
- Soybean domestication has improved photosynthetic phosphorus-use efficiency (PPUE), but the effects on leaf traits and efficiency are still not fully understood.
- A study involving 48 soybean accessions revealed that cultivars exhibited better photosynthesis rates and PPUE compared to wild relatives, which had higher leaf P concentration.
- The research suggests that increased PPUE in domesticated soybeans is linked to enhanced photosynthesis and changes in leaf anatomy, emphasizing the importance of P allocation and structure in improving soybean phosphorus use efficiency.
