Whole plant transpiration responses of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to drying soil: Water channels and transcription factors.

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the main legume crop for direct human consumption worldwide. Among abiotic factors affecting common bean, drought is the most limiting.

Integrated eQTL mapping approach reveals genomic regions regulating candidate genes of the locus in soybean.

Deciphering the gene regulatory networks of critical quantitative trait loci associated with early maturity provides information for breeders to unlock soybean's ( (L.) Merr.) northern potential and expand its cultivation range.

Probing Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes Using Raman Spectroscopy.

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by symbiotic bacteria plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture. However, current quantification methods are often expensive and impractical. This study explores the potential of Raman spectroscopy, a non-invasive technique, for rapid assessment of BNF activity in soybeans.

A comprehensive review of in planta stable transformation strategies.

Plant transformation remains a major bottleneck to the improvement of plant science, both on fundamental and practical levels. The recalcitrant nature of most commercial and minor crops to genetic transformation slows scientific progress for a large range of crops that are essential for food security on a global scale. Over the years, novel stable transformation strategies loosely grouped under the term "in planta" have been proposed and validated in a large number of model (e.
