Article Synopsis
- Seed size and composition, crucial for soybean yield, are influenced by soil nutrient levels, particularly phosphorus (P), which is vital but non-renewable.
- A study using soybean recombinant inbred lines (RILs) revealed that while seed weight and number varied significantly with phosphorus availability, seed composition remained consistent even in low-P conditions.
- The identification of multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seed weight and protein under low-P environments highlights genetic regions that could enhance soybean growth in nutrient-poor soils, with heritability estimates suggesting strong potential for breeding.
