Drought stress reduces the photosynthetic source of subtending leaves and the transit sink function of podshells, leading to reduced seed weight in soybean plants

Drought stress is the key factor limiting soybean yield potential. Soybean seed formation involves a coordinated “subtending leaf-podshell-seed” process, but little is known about the assimilation and transport of photoassimilates in subtending leaves, podshells and seeds or their relationships with...
