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 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 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water stress is one of the most important physiological stress factors that adversely affect soybeans in many critical aspects of their growth and metabolism. Soybean's growth, development and productivity are severely diminished, when soil or cell water potential becomes inadequate to sustain metabolic functioning. However, little has been done to gather comprehensive information regarding the specific changes that occur in water-stressed plants at the anatomical and morphological level. In this study, deviations in root growth, shoot growth, stomatal conductance, yield components and anatomical features are reported. Treatments with two levels of water stress imposed by reducing irrigation (once in 7 days or once in 15 days) revealed that, all cultivars (Dundee, LS 677, LS 678, TGx 1740-2F, TGx 1835-10E and Peking) were highly susceptible to prolonged water stress, exhibiting severe dehydration and death. A 15.0 and 30.0% survival frequency was obtained in plants irrigated once in 7 days; LS 677 and Peking, respectively. Unlike many other stresses, water deficit did not only affect the density of stomata, but, photosynthesis was affected by the lower levels of tissue CO2. These results suggest that, balanced biochemical, physiological, anatomical and morphological regulations are necessary for increased growth and yields in soybean.

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 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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean is the most important oilseed and livestock feed crop in the world. These dual uses are attributed to the crop's high protein content (nearly 40% of seed weight) and oil content (approximately 20%); characteristics that are not rivaled by any other agronomic crop. Across the 10-year period from 2001 to 2010, world soybean production increased from 168 to 258 million metric tons (54% increase). Against the backdrop of soybean's striking ascendancy is increased research interest in the crop throughout the world. Information in this book presents a comprehensive view of research efforts in genetics, plant physiology, agronomy, agricultural economics, and nitrogen relationships that will benefit soybean stakeholders and scientists throughout the world. We hope you enjoy the book.
