Genotypic difference in green stem disorder severity and vegetative storage protein accumulation affected by different degrees of sink limitation in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) merr... by Jiuning Zhang, Tatsuhiko Shiraiwa, Tomoyuki Katsube-Tanaka

“…In this study, the relationship between GSD severity and vegetative storage protein (VSP) dynamics was investigated under different timings and intensities of depodding treatments. Short growth period (Yukihomare, Yu), GSD-susceptible (Tachinagaha, Tc), and GSD-resistant (Touhoku 129, Th) cultivars were grown under repeated depodding treatments from the R3 growth stage by half [R3 (1/2)] or by one-third [R3 (1/3)], under a single-time depodding treatment at the R5 growth stage by half [R5 (single)], and under no depodding (control). …”
