Plants, including soybean, extract carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as they grow, and pathways for carbon capture and partitioning, such as photosynthesis and fatty acid synthesis, directly affect the biomass, seed yields, and oil content. While it is apparent that the carbon capture and partitioning has direct effect on the soybean yield and oil content, the linkage between carbon capture/partitioning and their corresponding phenotypes is poorly understood in transgenic soybeans, carrying some key genes involved in photosynthesis and/or fatty acid synthesis. Therefore, we propose a study to apply a systems approach by analyzing transcriptomic sequencing data for variant transgenic...
