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.
Download or read book Plant Abiotic Stress and Responses to Climate Change written by Violeta Andjelkovic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. 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.
Download or read book Water Stress Effects on Physiological Processes and Yield of Soybeans written by Mahmoud Fadl El Mula Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cv. Bragg were grown in field lysimeters for the study of water stress effects on certain physiological characteristics during different growth periods. A second objective was to study changes in plant water relations of well-irrigated soybeans during the growing season. Mid-day measurements were taken for soil water potential, leaf water potential components, stomatal diffusive resistence, transpiration, and leaf temperature. In well-irrigated plants, leaf osmotic potential began to decline with the onset of flowering, causing a considerable decrease in the leaf water potential. Mid-day turgor potential maintained hight values (5 to 8 bars) throughout the growing season. Diffusive resistence, transpiration rates, and leaf-to-air temperature differential (leaf temperature minus air temperature) were also constant util after R[indice]5, when diffusive resistance began to increase, transpiration rates decreased and temperature differential increased. This was related to plant aging as the crop approached the late reproductive growth stages. As estomatal diffusive resistance increased, transpiration cooling was less resulting in increased temperature differentials. During the drying cycles, leaf water potential componentes of the stressed plants were, in most cases, lower than teh control plants. Transpiration rates and stomatal conductance were also lower in the stressed plants while leaf-to-air temperature differential was greater. A high correlation was observed between osmotic potential and leaf water potential during drying cycles and was most likely associated with dehydration effect which resulted in increased concentrations of the osmotic components. However, osmotic potential at full turgor (leaf water potential equal to zero), showed progressive decreases during the season, giving values of -9.4, -10.9, -11.6 and -15.1 bars at V[indice]5, R[indice]1, R[indice]5 and R[indice]6 stages, respectively. This reflects changes in osmotic potential of soybeans as they grow from vegetative to reproductive phases. The slope of [phi][indice][pi] versus [phi][indice]L also declined from 0.437 at V[indice]5 to 0.233 at R[indice]6, suggesting reduced plasticity during late reproductive stages. Moisture strees during R[indice]6 resulted in significant diferences in harvest index, 100-seed weigth, percent empty pods, and shelling percentage as compared to the well-watered control. No significant differences in seed yield were observed; however, the data suggests yield reductions of 12%, 13% and 14% due to water withholding during V[indice]5, V[indice]5 plus R[indice]5, and R[indice]6 growth periods, respectively.

This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change poses many challenges that affect society and the natural world. With these challenges, however, come opportunities to respond. By taking steps to adapt to and mitigate climate change, the risks to society and the impacts of continued climate change can be lessened. The National Climate Assessment, coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is a mandated report intended to inform response decisions. Required to be developed every four years, these reports provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of climate change impacts available for the United States, making them a unique and important climate change document. The draft Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) report reviewed here addresses a wide range of topics of high importance to the United States and society more broadly, extending from human health and community well-being, to the built environment, to businesses and economies, to ecosystems and natural resources. This report evaluates the draft NCA4 to determine if it meets the requirements of the federal mandate, whether it provides accurate information grounded in the scientific literature, and whether it effectively communicates climate science, impacts, and responses for general audiences including the public, decision makers, and other stakeholders.
Download or read book Temperature Effects on Soybean Growth Development Physiology Yield and Seed Quality written by Firas Ahmed Alsajri and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperature is a major factor affecting plant growth and development at all stages. The objectives of this study were to investigate the temperature effects on all aspects of soybean growth and development. Five experiments were conducted at a wide range of temperatures under optimum water and nutrient conditions at specific growth stages. Two cultivars, Asgrow AG5332 (AG) and Progeny P5333RY (PR) from MG V with different growth habits, were used. All studies except the seed germination were conducted in sunlit plant growth chambers under optimum water and nutrient conditions. The seed germination experiment was conducted in a temperature-controlled incubator. Germination traits were measured during seed germination studies. In other experiments, plant growth, developmental rates, gas exchange parameters, and seed yield and quality were measured. Cultivars did not differ for seed germination and emergence traits. Quadratic functions best described time to 50% germination seed germination and emergence rates. The three cardinal temperatures for seed germination were 8.56°C (base) 27. 96°C (optimum) and 46.92°C (maximum). The base and optimum temperature for seed emergence were 10.6 and 36.7°C, respectively. During the early-season, 0-21 days, root and shoot growth parameters responded similar temperature responses, the root traits have a lower optimum (29.91°C) than the shoot parameters (36.56°C). Cultivars varied in their response to temperature during vegetative development, particularly for growth parameters, and the temperature optimums for various parameters. Node addition rate was not different among the cultivars but increased with increase in temperature. The flowering time (R1) from emergence showed quadratic trends with an increase in temperature up to 28°C and increased slightly at the higher temperatures. The PR cultivar, on an average, took 15 additional days to reach flowering compared AG cultivar across temperatures. Pod and seed yield and individual seed weight and harvest indices showed quadratic trends with maximum values at 25.82 °C for AG and 23.36 °C for PR. The functional algorithms could be helpful for management and in improving crop models..

This book was released on 2018 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing scarcity of water resources, soil moisture stress is the single most threat to global soybean production causing extensive yield losses. The objectives of this study were to investigate soil moisture stress effects on all aspects of soybean growth and development processes and to develop functional algorithms that could be used for field management decisions and in soybean crop modeling. To fulfill these objectives, six experiments were conducted; one in vitro osmotic stress study on seed germination, four studies by imposing five soil moisture treatments, 100, 80, 60, 40, and 20% of daily evapotranspiration of the control at different growth stages using sunlit plant growth chambers, and one transgenerational study on seed germination at different osmotic levels and offspring growth at three irrigation treatments (100, 66, and 33% based on field capacity) for plants grown at different soil moisture levels. Two cultivars from maturity group V, Asgrow AG5332 and Progeny P5333RY, with different growth habits were used in all these studies. Midday leaf water potential, plant height, mainstem nodes, gas-exchange traits, canopy reflectance, and several yield components including pod weight, seed yield, and seed quality were measured. Soil moisture stress decreased biomass, net photosynthesis, yield, individual seed weight, maximum seed germination, protein, fatty acids, sucrose, N, and P and increased oil, stachyose, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu, and B contents. Overall, Asgrow AG5332 was more tolerant to drought stress than Progeny P5333RY. Soil moisture stress induced changes in seed quality that were correlated with seed germination and seedling vigor in the F1 generation. These data can be used to build a model-based decision support system capable of predicting yield under field conditions.
Download or read book Water Stress in Plants written by Ismail M. M. Rahman and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water stress in plants is caused by the water deficit, as induced possibly by drought or high soil salinity. The prime consequence of water stress in plants is the disruption in the agricultural production, resulting in food shortage. The plants, however, try to adapt to the stress conditions using biochemical and physiological interventions. The edited compilation is an attempt to provide new insights into the mechanism and adaptation aspects of water stress in plants through a thoughtful mixture of viewpoints. We hope that the content of the book will be useful for the researchers working with the plant diversity-related environmental aspects and also provide suggestions for the strategists.
