Summary: The response of non-DR soybean to dicamba varies depending on the application timing and dosage. Less severe injury occurred when dicamba was applied at the V3 growth stage compared to the R1 or R3 stages. The greatest yield reduction was observed in Manhattan, KS, in 2018, with a 68% loss following two or three applications of dicamba at 5.6 g a.e. ha(-1), possibly due to drought conditions.

Summary: Potassium availability significantly impacts soybean metabolism, leading to changes in the composition of various metabolites in different tissues. The deficiency of potassium in soil can cause the accumulation of certain elements in soybean leaves, while potassium fertilization promotes the synthesis of carbohydrates, galactolipids, and flavonol glycosides in leaves and pod valves. In contrast, potassium-deficient pod tissues show increased contents of amino acids, oligosaccharides, benzoic acid derivatives, and isoflavones. The results also suggest that L-asparagine can be used as a biomarker for potassium deficiency in soybean plants.

Summary: Upland cotton is susceptible to damage by nematodes, causing significant yield losses annually in the US. Traditional methods like crop rotation and nematicides are effective but costly, making the use of resistant cultivars the most efficient and economical approach for managing nematodes in cotton. The genomes of nematode-resistant cotton lines BARBREN-713 and BAR 32-30 may facilitate the development of DNA markers for introducing nematode resistance into commercially valuable cotton lines.

Summary: Black soybean is a nutritious legume rich in bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and isoflavones. Traditional extraction methods are simple but use toxic solvents, while modern methods are more environmentally friendly and yield higher extraction efficiency. Black soybean exhibits various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic effects, making it a promising source for functional food and nutraceutical development.

Summary: Textiles made from cotton fibers are often treated with flame retardant additives for consumer safety. By employing multi-parent populations, new combinations of genes can lead to superior traits. A study on recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a multi-parent population identified cotton fibers with lower heat release capacities (HRC) and demonstrated the stability of the flame resistance trait across different locations. Four out of five RILs exhibited inherent flame resistance and self-extinguished when exposed to open flame.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of pre-emergence herbicides and herbicide-resistant soybean programs in the control of weeds, reduction of Palmer amaranth seed production, crop safety, and economic benefits. The results showed that the combination of pre-emergence herbicides and post-emergence herbicides provided high weed control and reduced the seed production of Palmer amaranth. The use of pre-emergence herbicides with multiple sites of action in herbicide-resistant soybean was supported, and glufosinate was found effective in controlling glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.

Summary: Soilless cultivation systems in a controlled environment are being used to overcome global issues. A study investigating the effect of nutrient concentrations on soybean development found that nutrient concentration significantly affected leaf number, leaf area, and plant height. The interaction between nutrient concentration and variety also influenced plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, and SPAD readings.

Summary: The use of deposition aids can have an impact on spray deposition of herbicides, with results varying depending on the herbicide solutions and deposition aids used. In most cases, the addition of polymer and guar gum deposition aids increased droplet size, while the addition of oil deposition aid decreased droplet size. However, the overall effect on spray deposition was not significant when herbicides were combined with deposition aids.

Summary: This study examined the interdecadal variations of climate-suitable areas of cotton in China from 1961 to 2017, using occurrence records, national meteorological data, and the MaxEnt model. It found that climate suitability has increased in recent decades, with the distribution of suitable areas moving northward and expanding westward. However, the increasing inconsistency between planting areas and climate-suitable areas may pose a risk to cotton production in certain regions, despite the overall improvements in suitability.

Summary: Recombination allows for the exchange of genetic material between two parents, which can be used by plant breeders to improve cultivars. Recombination hotspots, which are clustered regions of crossovers, mainly occur in certain areas of the genome. Understanding the distribution and sequence motifs associated with these hotspots can help breeders effectively utilize recombination in breeding.
