Pyramiding Mn-superoxide dismutase transgenes to improve persistence and biomass production in alfalfa.

abstract：:Climate change has brought severe challenges to agriculture. It is anticipated that there will be a drop in crop yield - including that of soybean - due to climatic stress factors that include drastic fluctuations in temperature, drought, flooding and high salinity. Genomic information on soybean has been accumulating...
