Anthropogenic Seed Dispersal: Rethinking the Origins of Plant Domestication

In a new manuscript, scientist argues that all of the earliest traits of plant domestication are linked to a mutualistic relationship in which plants recruited humans for seed dispersal.

Boost soybean yields by adapting photosynthesis to fleeting shadows, according to model

Crops harness light energy to fix carbon dioxide into food via photosynthesis. A team of sciencetists reports a new mathematical computer model that is used to understand how much yield is lost as soybean crops grapple with minute-by-minute light fluctuations…
