In the first study, CER from chlorophyll-deficient, near-isogenic lines were compared with the normal pigmented wild-type. Periods were identified when the chlorophyll-deficient lines had higher instantaneous and daily total CER. The evidence taken in this study suggests that increased light penetration into the chlorophyll-deficient canopies was the cause of the observed phenomenon. In the second study, the afternoon decline in CER in crop canopies at similar light levels as compared to the morning was investigated using grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Grain sorghum was found to be more sensitive photosynthetically to the VPD increase than cotton or soybean.

This model with an expected degree of error, particularly at low light levels, reasonably predicted soybean CER for five different genotypes during two different years.","abstract_html":"Three studies were conducted to identify environmental and genetic factors controlling soybean (Glycine max (L.)
