Variability and Selection for Leaf Photosynthesis in Advanced Generations of Soybeans ¹

Selecting crop genotypes with increased leaf photosynthesis may be one approach to greater yields. The objectives of this study were to determine whether leaf photosynthesis varied in a population of advanced-generation lines, to assess the effectiveness of maintaining selected differences in leaf photosynthesis, and to determine the correlation between photosynthesis and other leaf traits in a population of near-homozygous soybean [Glycine max...
