Evaluation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genotypes for yield, water use efficiency, and root traits.

Drought stress has been identified as the major environmental factor limiting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield worldwide. Current breeding efforts in soybean largely focus on identifying genotypes with high seed yield and drought tolerance. Water use efficiency (WUE) that results in greater yi...
