The shading of maize is an important factor, which leads to lodging and yield loss of soybean in the maize-soybean strip intercropping system, especially in areas with low solar radiation. This study was designed to explore how shade-tolerant soybean reduces yield loss by regulating its canopy structure and stem characteristics in the maize-soybean strip intercropping system. The soybean cultivars Tianlong No.

To obtain the molecular mechanisms underlying UV tolerance of wheat, the phenotypic and transcriptomic responses of ZN168 and ZKM138 with contrasting UV tolerance were characterized.
