Abstract excerpt
Variation in leaf complexity modulates light capture and is a target for crop enhancement. Soybean (Glycine max) typically has compound leaves with three leaflets each, but a spontaneous mutation, designated lf2, possesses seven leaflets, offering a means to dissect the molecular mechanisms specifying leaflet number and assess its potential for soybean improvement. However, the developmental and genetic bases of...
