Abstract
Soybean is a short-day crop and the long-duration variety takes 120 days for maturity. A protocol for rapid generation advancement in soybean breeding is worthwhile keeping in view its utility. The study emphasizes standardisation of physical conditions, especially using warm white and cool white light-emitting diodes to hasten flowering and pod setting in soybean (DS9712 genotype). Complete open flowers were obtained with a 16 L/8D (dark/light) photoperiod in 30 days. The results also highlighted the application of interventions of physical conditions and inputs, especially during the reproductive phase to shorten the seed-to-seed generation time by around 15 days in a low-cost method for soybean breeding. Breeding will be revolutionised in case economic speed breeding is combined with modern breeding technologies, thereby resulting in more generations per year.
期刊介绍:
Photosynthesis Research is an international journal open to papers of merit dealing with both basic and applied aspects of photosynthesis. It covers all aspects of photosynthesis research, including, but not limited to, light absorption and emission, excitation energy transfer, primary photochemistry, model systems, membrane components, protein complexes, electron transport, photophosphorylation, carbon assimilation, regulatory phenomena, molecular biology, environmental and ecological aspects, photorespiration, and bacterial and algal photosynthesis.
