Evaluation of the effects of cool night temperatures (10°C) and cool day/night temperatures (15°C/10°C) during reproductive development of soybeans on photosynthetic and respiratory gas-exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, day/night carbon partitioning and export with respect to the feedback induced limitations of photosynthesis, … Continue reading →
Soybean protein content varies among varieties and is also affected by environmental factors. Very short growing environments may reduce soybean protein content and coincidentally increase oil content. In this project, we will evaluate soybean varieties and breeding lines for protein … Continue reading →
Crop cultivars are typically developed and selected under optimal growing conditions that do not reflect the variable and often less-than-ideal conditions that may be found in large-scale commercial fields. Planting better-adapted cultivars in select fields, or in select parts of … Continue reading →
