Genetic studies on soybean adaptability to improve water use efficiency with Dr. Jason Gillman. February 9, 10AM CT. Register
Water use efficiency (WUE) is potentially an important trait for improving soybean drought tolerance, but WUE is difficult to determine in field experiments and increased WUE may decrease growth and yield when soil moisture is not limiting. Chamarthi et al. used the ratio of C13 to C12 (C13 ratio) in plant tissue as a surrogate measure of WUE and evaluated 473 accessions for C13 ratio in several diverse environments. They identified accessions that were highly plastic for C13 ratio and used association mapping to identify chromosomal regions closely associated with C13 ratio and with plasticity.
Join us as Dr. Jason Gillman, USDA-ARS, discusses his research to be published in the March 2023 issue of The Plant Genome. The session will be moderated by The Plant Genome Science Communications Editor Dr. Davoud Torkamaneh. View the article: https://doi.org/10.1002/tpg2.20284
