Soybean plant architecture has a significant impact on yield potential, but the genetic underpinnings of key architectural traits remain elusive. The primary objective of this study was to explore the genetic foundations underlying main stem node number (MSN) in soybeans. Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) contained a 234 individual derived from crosses between two cultivars Zhonghuang35 (ZH35) and Jindou21 (JD21) was evaluated for seed hardness across 3 years (2013, 2014, and 2015 in Gansu).

Article Synopsis
- Low temperatures negatively impact soybean growth, with varying effects on different cultivars; this study focuses on the cold-tolerant KD52 and cold-sensitive DS17.
- The examination of physiological responses showed that DS17 is more susceptible to damage (high malondialdehyde levels) while KD52 has stronger antioxidant defenses, indicated by the increased activity of enzymes like peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.
- Transcriptomic analysis identified 234 key genes that differ in expression between the two cultivars under cold stress, suggesting that understanding these genes could lead to improved cold resilience in soybeans.
Vegetative soybean (maodou or edamame) serves as a nutrient-rich food source with significant potential for mitigating global nutritional deficiencies. This study undertook a thorough examination of the nutritional profiles and transcriptomic landscapes of six soybean cultivars, including three common cultivars (Heinong551, Heinong562, and Heinong63) and three fresh maodou cultivars (Heinong527, HeinongXS4, and HeinongXS5). Nutrient analysis of the seeds disclosed notable differences in the levels of protein, fat, soluble sugars, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, and zinc across the cultivars.
