This book was released on 2016 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought and water-deficit adversely affect plant productivity. Limited water is a multidimensional stress that induces a number of molecular, biochemical and physiological changes in affected plants. These changes include altered photosynthetic capacity, altered gas exchange and the accumulation of secondary compounds. Glycine max (L.) Merrill (soybean) is an important crop and drought is a major limitation to soybean yield world--wide. The objective of this study is to monitor the physiological and biochemical responses to water-deficit stress in seedlings of two G. max cultivars (i.e. Forrest and Essex). The responses measured are: 1) relative water content (RWC), 2) net photosynthesis, 3) stomatal conductance, 3) evaporation rate, 4) water use efficiency (WUE), 5) radiation use efficiency (RUE) and 6) trigonelline accumulation. Trigonelline is a secondary compound known to accumulate in soybean in response to salinity- and water-deficit-stress. 14 day-old seedlings of Forrest (cv.) and Essex (cv.) were grown on open benches in the SIUC greenhouse and water was withheld for six days (i.e.15-to-20 DAP). During the treatment, RWC declined in both cultivars—from 89 to 41% in Essex and 83 to 60% in Forrest. Concomitantly, net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, evaporation rate, WUE and RUE also declined in both cultivars. As RWC declined, the amount of trigonelline increased in both cultivars—from 2.3 to 5.34 OD gFW-1 in Essex and 2.3 to 6.63 OD gFW -1 in Forrest. The data supports the idea that trigonelline may function as a compatible solute and that confirms the hypothesis that trigonelline is a biomarker for plant water status.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important legume crop often exposed to heat and drought stresses during reproductive and early-seed setting stages, resulting in lower yields and seed quality. Ten soybean cultivars were phenotyped for individual (drought or heat) and combined stress tolerance. Under drought, reduced stomatal conductance and increased canopy temperature significantly reduced seed number (46%) and weight (35%). Heat stress alone reduced seed number (19%) and weight (23%) compared to control. Moreover, a degree increase in daytime temperature above 32 ℗ʻC during the reproductive stage reduced seed weight by 4% and 7% under well-watered and drought conditions, respectively. Seed protein was increased under drought, while it declined under heat and combined stress compared to control. In contrast, oil content showed the opposite trend. Weak correlations between phenotypic traits under individual and combined stress suggest that selecting cultivars for individual stress tolerance may not work under combined stress conditions.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiotic stresses, such as cold, are serious agricultural problems resulting in substantial crop and revenue losses. Soybean (Glycine max) is an important worldwide crop for food, feed, fuel, and other products. Soybean has long been considered to be cold-intolerant and incapable of cold acclimation. In contrast to these reports, this study demonstrates that cold acclimation improved freezing tolerance in the domestic soybean cultivar 'Williams 82' with 50% enhancement of freezing tolerance after 5.2 +\- 0.6 days of cold exposure. Decreases in light dependent photosynthetic function and efficiency accompanied cold treatment. These decreases were due to an increase in photon dissipation likely driven by a decrease in plastoquinone (PQ) pool size limiting electron flow from photosystem II (PSII) to photosystem I (PSI). Cold-induced damage to operational photosynthesis began at 25 minutes of cold exposure and maximal photosynthesis was disrupted after 6 to 7 hours of cold exposure. Cold exposure caused severe photodamage leading to the loss of PSII reaction centers and photosynthetic efficiency. Comparisons of eight cultivars of G. max demonstrated a weak correlation between cold acclimation and northern cultivars versus southern cultivars. In the non-domesticated soybean species Glycine soja, the germination rate after cold imbibition was positively correlated with seedling cold acclimation potential. However, the overall cold acclimation potential in G. soja was equal to that of domestic soybean G. max reducing the enthusiasm for the "wild" soybean as an additional source of genetic diversity for cold tolerance. Despite being relatively cold intolerant, the soybean genome possesses homologs of the major cold responsive CBF/DREB1 transcription factors. These genes are cold-induced in soybean in a similar pattern to that of the cold tolerant model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. In Arabidopsis, EIN3, a major component of the ethylene signaling pathway, is a negative transcriptional regulator of CBF/DREB1. In contrast to AtEIN3 transcript levels which do not change during cold treatment in Arabidopsis, we observed a cold-dependent 3.6 fold increase in GmEIN3 transcript levels in soybean. We hypothesized that this increase could prevent effective CBF/DREB1 cold regulation in soybean. Analysis of our newly developed cold responsive reporter (AtRD29Aprom::GFP/GUS) soybean transgenic lines demonstrated that inhibition of the ethylene pathway via foliar sprays (AVG, 1-MCP, and silver nitrate) resulted in significant cold-induced GUS activity. Transcripts of GmEIN3A;1 increased in response to ethylene pathway stimulation (ACC and ethephon) and decreased in response to ethylene pathway inhibition in the cold. Additionally, in the cold, inhibition of the ethylene pathway resulted in a significant increase in transcripts of GmDREB1A;1 and GmDREB1A;2 and stimulation of the ethylene pathway led to a decrease in GmDREB1A;1 and GmDREB1B;1 transcripts. To assess the physiological effects of these transcriptional changes; electrolyte leakage, lipid oxidation, free proline content, and photosynthesis were examined. Improvement in electrolyte leakage, a measure of freezing tolerance, was seen only under silver nitrate treatment. Only 1-MCP treatment resulted in significantly decreased lipid oxidation. Transcripts for CBF/DREB1 downstream targets (containing the consensus CRT/DRE motifs) significantly decreased in plants treated with ethylene pathway stimulators in the cold; however, ethylene pathway inhibition generally produced no increase over basal cold levels. To identify if GmEIN3A;1 was capable of binding to GmDREB1 promoters, the negative regulator GmEIN3A;1 and the positive regulator GmICE1A were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Preliminary binding results indicated that GmEIN3A;1 can bind to a double stranded section of the GmDREB1A;1 promoter containing putative EIN3 and ICE1 binding sites. GmICE1A is capable of binding to the same section of the GmDREB1A;1 promoter, though only when single stranded. Additional experiments will be required to demonstrate that GmEIN3A;1 and GmICE1A are capable of binding to the GmDREB1A;1 promoter and this work provides the tools to answer these questions. Overall, this work provides evidence that the ethylene pathway transcriptionally inhibits the CBF/DREB1 pathway in soybean through the action of GmEIN3A;1. Yet when GmCBF/DREB1 transcripts are upregulated by ethylene pathway inhibition, no consistent change in downstream targets was observed. These data indicate that the limitation in cold tolerance in soybean is due to a yet unidentified target downstream of CBF/DREB1 transcription

This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a serious problem influencing agricultural production worldwide and challenging researchers to investigate plant responses and to breed crops for the changed growing conditions. Abiotic stresses are the most important for crop production, affecting about 96.5% of arable land worldwide. These stress factors include high and low temperature, water deficit (drought) and flooding, salinity, heavy metals, UV radiation, light, chemical pollutants, and so on. Since some of the stresses occurred simultaneously, such as heat and water deficit, causing the interactions of physiological processes, novel multidisciplinary solutions are needed. This book provides an overview of the present state in the research of abiotic stresses and molecular, biochemical, and whole plant responses, helping to prevent the negative impact of global climate change.
