The study of biocultural diversity requires the use of appropriate concepts and analytical tools. Particularly, there is a need of indices capable to show the degree of stratification in the set of interactions among cultures and groups of plants and animals in a given region. Here, we present a mathematical approach based on the mutual Shannon information theory to study the relationships among cultural and biological groups.

- Soybean is a crucial vegetable protein source, and while breeders have improved yields, the genetic factors influencing yield and important traits remain unclear.
- A study created a large soybean population with 5,600 inbred lines, analyzing various traits across 22 environments, which led to the identification of significant marker-trait associations for different characteristics including yield and seed mass.
- The findings showed that elite founder parents contributed more positive yield alleles compared to exotic founders, but also highlighted the potential benefits of incorporating unique genetic traits from exotic sources into US soybean breeding programs.
Isoflavones from soybeans [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] have a significant impact on human health to reduce the risk of several major diseases.
