Announcing The World's First Reference-Grade Wild Soybean Genome

Professor Lam Hon Ming from School of Life Sciences is dedicated to soybean research. His recent research has successfully completed the world's first reference-grade wild soybean genome. The genome is a useful reference when finding important genes and improving the varieties such as stress tolerance, seed protein, and secondary metabolite contents in cultivated soybean.

 

The findings are not only a significant tool for genetic research of soybean globally, but also help extend soybean cultivation habitants and contribute to sustainable agriculture. More research findings can be found in the article published in Nature Communications.
