When attempting to maximize the crop yield from field-grown soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) by means of improving the light conditions for photosynthesis in the canopy, it is crucial to find the optimal planting density and nitrogen application rate.

In nature, plants are exposed to a dynamic light environment. Fluctuations in light decreased the photosynthetic light utilization efficiency (PLUE) of leaves, and much more severely in C species than in C species. However, little is known about the plasticity of PLUE under dynamic light in C species.

Proteome-wide identification of K-modified proteins has been performed in several plant species, suggesting that K-modified proteins are involved in a variety of biological processes and metabolic pathways. However, the protein K modification in soybean, a globally important legume crop that provides the rich source of plant protein and oil, remains unclear.
