Photoperiod Affects Node Appearance Rate and Flowering in Early Maturing Soybean.

The photoperiod plays a critical role in the control of flowering timing in soybean ( (L.) Merr.) with long days increasing the time to flowering.

Microbial Community Dynamics of Soybean () Is Affected by Cropping Sequence.

The microbial composition of the rhizosphere soil could be an important determinant of crop yield, pathogen resistance, and other beneficial attributes in plants. However, little is known about the impact of cropping sequences on microbial community dynamics, especially in economically important species like soybean. Using 2-year crop sequences of corn-soybean, canola-soybean, and soybean-soybean, we investigated how crops from the previous growing season influenced the structure of the microbiome in both the bulk soil and soybean rhizosphere.
