TL;DR: It is demonstrated that speed breeding in fully enclosed, controlled-environment growth chambers can accelerate plant development for research purposes, including phenotyping of adult plant traits, mutant studies and transformation.

TL;DR: The Food and Agriculture Organization statistics for 2001 show that 274 million metric tons of grain legumes were produced across the world, of which 177 million were soybeans, one-half of which were produced in the U.S.

TL;DR: This protocol describes procedures for speed-breeding approaches using growth cabinets and LED-supplemented glasshouses that can be used to accelerate crop research and are compatible with a wide variety of crops.

TL;DR: In order to increase consumption of grain legumes, efforts should concentrate on identifying nutritionally enhanced and genetically diverse germplasm, and on linking genetics with sensorial and processing quality, leading to a reduction in both the global economic burden caused by malnutrition and associated chronic diseases, and the environmental impact of agriculture.

TL;DR: A novel scheme is proposed for the mechanism of the lipoxygenase-catalysed dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in which two different pathways are suggested for the anaerobic and aerobic oxidations.
