In a new study published this week, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have identified a group of genes in soybeans that could be used to increase soybean yield. By manipulating the expression of these genes, the researchers were able to increase the yield of soybeans by up to 17%. The researchers found that the genes are involved in the uptake of molybdate, an essential nutrient for soybean growth. The findings suggest that manipulating the expression of these genes could be used to improve soybean productivity in a sustainable way.
