Correlation of Leaf Nitrogen, Chlorophyll and Rubisco Contents with Photosynthesis in a Supernodulating Soybean Genotype Sakukei 4

Soybean requires more nitrogen (N) than gramineous crops because it accumulates a large amount of N in seeds, and its photosynthetic rate per leaf N is low. The supernodulating genotype Sakukei 4 has a superior symbiotic N2 fixation capability, and thereby is potentially high-yielding. In our previo...
