This soybean study uncovered 101 Quantitative Trait Nucleotides (QTNs) associated with flowering responses to photo-thermal conditions. Three candidate genes—Glyma.08G302500 (GmHY5), Glyma.08G303900 (GmPIF4c), and Glyma.16G046700 (GmVRN1)—exhibited non-synonymous substitutions. Using a diverse panel of 201 cultivars, a genome-wide association study assessed thermal response (TR) and interactive photo-thermal response (IPT) for soybean flowering time. The study identified SNPs significantly associated with TR, IPT, and both, with implications for adapting soybeans to varying climates and enhancing resilience to global climate change.

How sunflowers see the sun ?
Sunflowers don’t exactly “see” the sun in the way humans do with eyes, but they exhibit a fascinating behavior known as heliotropism. In the bud stage, young sunflowers face east in the morning to catch the first rays of the rising sun. As the day progresses, they slowly track the sun across the sky, following […]
Farmers’ Empowerment: On-Farm Seed Banks’ Contribution to the Preservation of Agricultural Biodiversity
On-farm seed banks are a grassroots approach to conserving agricultural biodiversity. They work by allowing farmers to collect, store, and exchange locally adapted crop varieties. These banks act as living libraries of seeds, safeguarding genetic diversity while ensuring access to resilient and region-specific plant strains. By empowering farmers to manage their seed resources, on-farm seed […]
