This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water deficit is responsible for significant losses in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) yield under dryland conditions. Under drought, increases in root depth and density, i.e., developmental plasticity, enable plants to sustain high rates of water extraction and help to maintain yield (O'Toole and Bland, 1987; Sponchiado et al., 1989; White and Castillo, 1989). The objective of this project was to screen and identify soybean lines exhibiting diversity in root system characteristics that are associated with drought tolerance, in order to enable physiological and genetic analyses of the regulatory mechanisms involved. A genetically diverse collection of soybean genotypes was selected for screening. To evaluate root plasticity in response to soil drying, an experimental system that allowed spatial and temporal monitoring of root proliferation was developed. Plants were grown in soil columns 1.5 meters in depth, and subjected to soil drying for three weeks. The vertical distribution of root development was monitored photographically at weekly intervals, and plants were harvested at the end of the experiments for taproot length and shoot biomass. In nine genotypes tested under greenhouse conditions, final taproot length ranged from 98% to 150% of well-watered controls. Genetic variation in the response of rooting density to drought was also demonstrated. However, comparison between genotypes was complicated by variation in leaf area development and, as a result, in rates of soil drying and plant stress development, as well as by seasonal variation in the greenhouse environmental conditions. Therefore, growth chamber studies which allowed equivalent rates of soil drying between two selected genotypes were conducted. These studies demonstrated that under equivalent rates of soil drying, insignificant differences in the response of rooting density to drought between the two genotypes were observed.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought is the major abiotic factor limiting soybean yield in the US. Under water deficit conditions, root systems may exhibit developmental plasticity resulting in morphological changes that extend the water-absorbing surface area of the roots. The objective of this study was to identify soybean genotypes which exhibit genetic diversity in root system developmental plasticity in response to water deficits, in order to enable physiological and genetic analyses of the regulatory mechanisms involved. Studies were conducted both at the seedling stage under precisely-controlled water deficits, and during three-week soil drying treatments of plants growing in 1.5 m-deep soil cylinders in controlled-environment chambers. Using the seedling system, 11 soybean genotypes selected from both domestic and Plant Introduction lines were studied. The results showed substantial genetic diversity in the capacity for increased lateral root development (number and total length of roots produced) and in the responses of overall root and shoot growth under water deficit conditions. Studies of the spatial and temporal patterns of lateral root development showed that the promotion of lateral root length under water deficit conditions was due to an increased root production rate rather than earlier initiation or promotion of root elongation. Genotypes with either superior or inferior root plasticity responses at the seedling stage were selected for more detailed studies using the deeper soil cylinder system with more mature plants. The results showed consistent genetic differences in lateral root developmental plasticity under water deficit conditions between the seedling and more mature plant systems.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought stress is a major limiting factor in soybean production in South Africa. The development of soybean varieties with enhanced tolerance to soil waterlimited induced stress (WLIS) is one sustainable way to deal with drought. Root traits have shown strong potential for improvement of drought tolerance through breeding. The objectives of this study were to evaluate seedling shoot- and root growth responses under WLIS in order to study root morphology as a mechanism to cope with drought stress and to determine if there were genotypic differences in shoot- and root morphology between drought tolerant and -sensitive soybean genotypes. Seedlings of three drought tolerant and one sensitive genotype were subjected to soil WLIS in deep-root-pots for 21 days. Results suggested significant genotypic differences for shoot length, number of leaves, tap root length and root-to-shoot length ratio. Soybean tolerant genotypes were associated with moderate shoot biomass, deep rooting abilities and maintained a large root-to-shoot ratio under WLIS conditions. In contrast, the sensitive genotype was associated with a reduced root-to-shoot ratio and shallower root system. Soybean genotypes showed varying seedling root growth responses to soil WLIS, while shoot biomass characteristics were similar.

Book excerpt: Plants are important for a permanent ecosystem, because in the ecological pyramid plants support all the other living organisms at the base. Very important organization is thought to be the integral process of resource, transport, partitioning, metabolism, and production, which involves yield, biomass, and productivity in plants. Accordingly, it is important to obtain more information about the knowledge concerning yield, biomass, and productivity in plants. Soybean is one of the main crops largely contributing to our life, which is thought to be connected to our ecosystem through the above-mentioned integral process. This book focuses on the soybean, and reviews and research concerning the yield, biomass, and productivity of soybean are presented herein. This text updates the book published in 2017. Although there are many difficulties, the main aim of this book is to present a basis for the above-mentioned integral processes of resource, transport, partitioning, metabolism, and production, which involves yield, biomass, and productivity in plants (soybean), and to understand what supports this basis and the integral process. It is hoped that this and the preceding book will be essential reads.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques to improve specialty crop herbicide tolerance, and identifying new methods of weed control are needed to help secure the future of vegetable production. My dissertation research addressed both concerns. First, I used soybean as model plant to investigate response and physiology of grafted glyphosate-resistant (RR) and conventional (CN) soybean plants to glyphosate. Glyphosate (0.28, 0.84 and 1.68 kg ae ha-1) was applied to CN/CN (scion/rootstock), CN/RR, RR/CN (only in growth stage experiment) and RR/RR grafted plants that had been generated using CN and RR genotypes. Variables tested included three growth stages (3, 6 and 10-leaf stages), nine CN/RR genotype combinations, and two growing environments (day/night thermoperiods of 28/22 C and 24/18 C). Small CN/RR plants (65%) and medium-sized plants (50%) were injured more than large plants (40%) 34 days with 0.84 kg ae ha-1 of glyphosate. Genotype of the scion had a greater effect on glyphosate tolerance compared to rootstock. Fewer leaves produced on CN/RR construct 5388/9392 under the warmer day/night temperatures following treatment with glyphosate. Seventy-two hours after treatment (HAT), 35% less shikimate was found in CN/RR compared to CN/CN plants. No cp4-epsps mRNA was detected in leaves of CN/RR plants, but a very small amount of CP4-EPSPS protein (=0.004% of that in RR leaf) was detected in the CN/RR leaves. More foliar-applied 14C-glyphosate and derivative was translocated to the root system of CN/RR compared to CN/CN. These data indicate that translocation of glyphosate from the CN scion to the RR rootstock is a major contributor to the partial tolerance to glyphosate observed in CN/RR transgrafted soybeans. Second, to aid in development of new weed control methods for vegetables, I assessed the response of several vegetable crops as well as three important weed species to the new herbicide bicyclopyrone. Onion, carrot, radish and dill were relatively tolerant of pre-emergence (PRE) and post-directed (POSTDIR) bicyclopyrone at 37.5 and 50 g ai ha-1. In contrast, bicyclopyrone post-emergence (POST) induced severe injury. Greenhouse experiments further examined the effect of soil type and variety on the response of onion, carrot and leek to 0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 g ha-1 of bicyclopyrone applied PRE. All test crops were uninjured by bicyclopyrone PRE when grown in muck soil, whereas all crops grown in sand + Pro-Mix BXTM blend were injured. Control of hairy galinsoga (Galinsoga quadriradiata Cav.), common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) and prostrate pigweed (Amaranthus blitoides S. Wats.) treated with bicyclopyrone POST or PRE was assessed in different soils and with each weed at three stages of growth. POST bicyclopyrone at 37.5 and 50 g ha-1 controlled hairy galinsoga and small common purslane plants (¿ 80% injury).. Hairy galinsoga was well controlled (80% injury) when growing in a Wooster silt loam and in a Pro-Mix BXTM 2:3 v/v blend. Common purslane was injured by PRE application to the muck soil and was well controlled in the Wooster silt loam and Pro-Mix BXTM blend. Bicyclopyrone POST and PRE did not control prostrate pigweed in either soil type or at any growth stage.
