Purdue University scientists led an effort to sequence the soybean genome, giving researchers a better understanding of the plant’s genes and how to use them to improve its characteristics. Agronomy professor Scott Jackson said the U.S. departments of Energy and Agriculture study found that the soybean has about 46,000 genes, but many of those – 70 percent to 80 percent – are duplicates…
