Morpho-physiological and transcriptomic responses of field pennycress to waterlogging.

Field pennycress () is a new biofuel winter annual crop with extreme cold hardiness and a short life cycle, enabling off-season integration into corn and soybean rotations across the U.S. Midwest.

Geographic distribution of the E1 family of genes and their effects on reproductive timing in soybean.

Background: Soybean is an economically important crop which flowers predominantly in response to photoperiod. Several major loci controlling the quantitative trait for reproductive timing have been identified, of which allelic combinations at three of these loci, E1, E2, and E3, are the dominant factors driving time to flower and reproductive period. However, functional genomics studies have identified additional loci which affect reproductive timing, many of which are less understood.
