The Theory and Pratice of Soybean Breeding by Ideal Plant Type and High Photosynthetic Efficiency-My 50 Years Experience in Soybean Breeding(Part Ⅰ)
This paper summarizes Du Weiguang's 50 years of research experience in soybean breeding from 1975 to 2024,including conventional breeding,high-light efficiency breeding,ideal plant type breeding,practicing molecular module design breeding,and genome-wide QTL-allele design breeding(combination design and genotype design)new methods.In this paper,we systematically summarized the theory and practice of soybean plant type and high light efficiency breeding,and expounded that soybean plants were the carriers of light energy absorption,so that plant type was related to high light efficiency.The ideal plant type and ideal design scheme and its breeding bottleneck were proposed,and the dense-tolerant soybean plant type was discussed.The concept and technical route of high-light-efficiency breeding,the physiological basis of high-light-efficiency photosynthesis and the bottleneck of high-light-efficiency breeding were proposed.By summarizing the 30 years of high-efficiency breeding,it provides a reference for scientists and technicians engaged in soybean breeding research for further research.
