Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drought stress markedly constrains soybean yields; however, progress in breeding has been limited by reliance on single-trait selection. Effective drought adaptation likely requires coordinated responses across root architecture, antioxidant defense, and osmotic adjustment, yet the relationships among these traits complexes across diverse germplasm remain poorly understood. METHODS: A comprehensive...
