Book Morphological  Molecular and Physiological Mechanisms of Early Season Weed Competition in Soybean  Glycine Max  L   Merr

Download or read book Morphological Molecular and Physiological Mechanisms of Early Season Weed Competition in Soybean Glycine Max L Merr written by Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of early emerging weeds alters light quality perceived by crop plants through reducing the red (670 nm) to far-red (730 nm) ratio of light (R/FR). This change in light quality has long-lasting effects on crop plants, which may lead to yield loss. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the morphological, molecular and physiological responses of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) to far-red-enriched (FR-E) light reflected from neighbouring weeds in a controlled environment, in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of yield loss. Based on the existing knowledge on the effect of FR-E light on photosystem stoichiometry, it was hypothesised that if soybean seedlings perceive FR-E light reflected from neighbouring weeds at early growth stages, then an initial oxidative stress response will trigger a cascade of down-stream morphological and physiological events that may potentially contribute to yield loss. Morphological analyses revealed rapid changes in the root/shoot ratio of soybean seedlings upon emergence in response to FR-E light. This was accompanied by rapid induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging genes. Analyses of enzymatic and non-enzymatic scavengers of ROS demonstrated that a primary and fundamental impact of FR-E light on soybean unifoliate leaves was increased generation of singlet oxygen and its conversion to hydrogen peroxide via ascorbate. This led to reductions in activity of a thiol-modulated Calvin cycle enzyme and CO2 assimilation as well as altered carbon partitioning. Chemical inhibition of plastid terminal oxidase and mitochondrial alternative oxidase as well as measurements of malate/oxaloacetate shuttle enzyme activities demonstrated the involvement of alternative electron pathways in early responses of soybean seedlings to FR-E light. Furthermore, investigation of the impact of FR-E light on plastic responsiveness of soybean to subsequent drought stress under field conditions revealed that the frequency, type and severity of stress influenced the ability of a soybean to express plasticity. The findings of this research not only shed light on the mechanisms of resource independent crop-weed competition that may contribute to yield loss, but also provide an important foundation for studies aimed towards improving crop competitive ability and reducing the negative impact of weeds on yield.

This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Security used to be the prime concern up to 1960s and now emphasis is on sustainable crop production. The agronomic constraints of growing and handling of soybean could be minimized by appropriate mechanical aids for sowing, intercultivation, weed control, harvesting and threshing. Among the constraints, weed infestation in soybean is one of the major hurdles which limit its productivity level. Depending on the type of weeds, their intensity and time of crop weed competition reduces the yields to the extent of 20 to 50 per cent when weeds are grown with crop for long season. The traditional methods of weed control by hand weeding or mechanical means are now becoming costly, tedious, labor intensive and time consuming. Unavailability of sufficient labor at critical stage of crop growth for hand weeding.Under these circumstances, it is inevitable to adopt alternate measures which help to control weeds early in the season and also at critical periods of crop weed competition.The only choice for controlling weeds would be through herbicides at appropriate level.The Author is optimistic that the present book will be well received across soybean growers and researchers in the world

Book Response and Physiology of Grafted Glyphosate resistant and Conventional Soybean  glycine Max  to Glyphosate  and Efficacy of Bicyclopyrone in Vegetables

Download or read book Response and Physiology of Grafted Glyphosate resistant and Conventional Soybean glycine Max to Glyphosate and Efficacy of Bicyclopyrone in Vegetables written by Yin Chen and published by . 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.
