Atypical genes that control multiple valuable soybean traits

Atypical genes that control multiple valuable soybean traits

A team led by Purdue University soybean geneticist Jianxin Ma has developed a new biotechnological tool for the domestication of desirable traits from wild soybeans, such as resistance to leafhopper insect pests.

The use of such tools, called de novo domestication, makes it easier for scientists to engineer crop improvements from wild soybeans.
