Abstract
Slow canopy wilting in response to decreased soil moisture
is a complex conservation trait in soybean that is
likely to involve multiple mechanisms. This trait is potentially
extremely important in the development of more
drought-tolerant crops, but it remains poorly characterized.
Using QTL mapping, Ye et al. (2019) have shown
that slow-wilting in soybean is associated with drought
tolerance and involves at least two distinct waterconservation
mechanisms.
