Article Synopsis
  • Early leaf senescence in soybean can help reduce maturation time and address green stem issues, with two mutant lines identified showcasing this trait.
  • The research shows that a specific gene plays a crucial role in both chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation during leaf development and senescence.
  • The identified mutations do not impact flowering time but promote earlier maturation, which could be beneficial for breeding programs aiming to shorten harvesting periods.

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora canescens is an important disease of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). A previous study using an F population [CSR12906 (susceptible) × IT90K-59-120 (resistant)] identified a major QTL qCLS9.1 for resistance to CLS.
