Environmental stress and calcium nutrition during the seed-filling stage of soybeanSorooshzadeh, Ali. January 1997 (has links)
An infusion technique was used with an aqueous radiocalcium ( 45CaCl2) solution during the seed-filling stage of well-watered and moisture-stressed soybean in a greenhouse. The kinetics of infusion volume showed a quadratic reduction in absorption which approached zero on the sixth day for non-irrigated plants. The concentration of 45Ca increased quadratically from the point of injection towards the apex independent of both water status and plant parts. The difference in concentration of 45Ca between irrigated and non-irrigated plants was significant (P < 0.05) and concentrations attained the maximum values at the sixth node from the plant base. Seeds contained considerably less 45Ca than either stem or leaves. / The effects of a long (LD, 16h) and a short (SD, 12h) photoperiod with two water stress levels (SL) of stress (ST) and no stress (NS) on the distribution of 45Ca in plant organs (PO) of leaves, petioles, and stem at different node number (NN) of soybean were studied during the seed-filling stage. The univariate and Manova analyses showed the main effects of photoperiod (PP), SL, and PO to be highly significant (P < 0.001) on Ca distribution. The long PP increased Ca concentration in top leaves compared with the short PP regardless of SL. Water stress significantly (P < 0.001) modified the Ca distribution and reduced its concentration in PO within NN irrespective of the photoperiod (a measure of light stress). A possible mechanism for the regulation of Ca distribution is discussed in terms of nitrate reduction. / Ca uptake was also studied by immersing the central tip of a trifoliate leaf in various concentrations of 45CaCl2 solutions and drought conditions during the seed-filling period of soybean. The beta-ray gauging and the diurnal leaf temperature variation showed similar characteristics for leaf water status. The activities of 45Ca were significantly higher (P < 0.0001) at 5, 10, 20, and 30 mM concentrations for water-stressed and non-stressed leaves compared with the control. 45Ca activities at 5, 10, and 20 mM Ca concentrations between stressed and non-stressed leaves were not significant, but the difference in their mean values at 30 mM Ca concentration was significant (P = 0.0159). The relationship between 45Ca uptake and Ca concentration was parabolic for both stressed (R 2 = 0.77) and non-stressed (R2 = 0.81) leaves. Autoradiograms indicated Ca movement through the mid-rib and veins of the tip-immersed trifoliate leaf but showed no activity in other plant parts. An activity gradient developed between seeds when a pod-tip was immersed in the radioactive solution. Solutions of ruthenium red (RR, 0.01 mM), Ethylene Glycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)- N,N,N,N-Tetraacetic Acid (EGTA, 0.1 mM), calcium (Ca, 1 mM), and double distilled water (control) were fed through a bottom branch of soybean with (ST) and without (NS) water stress. The volume absorptions and transpiration rates were significantly higher for NS than ST plants and decreased almost linearly with time for all treatments. The transpiration rates of Ca-feeding ST plants and the control overlapped while the NS plants approached the same rate of transpiration by the third week. Ca was implicated in stomatal closure for the reduction in the transpiration rates. The relative amounts of chlorophyll decreased with time but chlorophyll was least affected for Ca-absorbing plants for both ST and NS plants. The use of RR (Ca transport blocker), and EGTA (Ca chelator) indicated the role of intracellular Ca conce

Assessment of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) water stress : lipo-chitooligosaccharides application and spectral responseAtti, Sarra January 2002 (has links)
This study was conducted to improve knowledge of the impact of chronic soil water deficit and to test a novel technique of water management consisting of Lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCO) spray application. It also aimed at evaluating changes in canopy reflectance due to water stress and LCO spray. Water stress during reproductive development resulted in an important decrease of plant physiological activity, vegetative growth, and productivity, and accelerated plant senescence at both water stress levels. Water deficit increased leaf reflectance in the visible and decreased it in the infrared ranges of the spectrum at both imposed stress levels. Foliar application of LCO affected overall plant physiological activity, increased flower and pod numbers. LCO treatment had the largest positive effect on the growth pattern of soybean at the medium stress level, which is the stress level most commonly observed in standard farm-field conditions. LCO treatment constitutes a potential technology for reducing water deficit effects. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Determination of drought stress tolerance among soybean varieties using morphological and physiological markersMabulwana, Paseka Tritieth January 2013 (has links)
Thesis (M.Sc. (Botany))-- University of Limpopo, 2013 / The aim of the study was to identify drought tolerant South African soybean cultivars
for cultivation where water is a limited resource. Soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr] is
one of the most important legumes in the world. A lot of attention has been focused
on soybean cultivation in South Africa recently. Soybean production is mainly
affected by several biotic and abiotic factors which reduce the yield and quality of the
crop.
Six South African soybean cultivars (LS 677, LS 678, Mopanie, Sonop, Knap and
Pan 1564) and two American cultivars (R01 416 and R01 581) were carefully studied
for morphological and physiological markers which contribute to drought tolerance.
The study was conducted at the University of Limpopo (Turfloop campus). Soybean
plants were grown in a glasshouse in a randomised block design given same
amounts of nutrients and differing amounts of water (limited and overwatering).
Data was collected at R3 growth stage by measuring several morphological (stem
length, leaf surface area, flowers and seeds counts) and physiological (percentage
chlorophyll, moisture content, total phenolics, total flavonoids, ureide content and
antioxidant activity) parameters. An anatomical study was also carried out on the
transverse sections of leaves, roots, leaf stalk and nodules.
The different cultivars reacted differently to the three water treatments. LS 678
produced the tallest plants whereas those of Pan 1564 were the shortest. Water
stress affected plants by reducing the number of flowers produced, the leaf surface
area as well as the relative leaf water content. The moisture content of the growth
medium was reduced faster as the plants matured and it was also lowered by the
limited water availability. Percentage chlorophyll is another trait which was affected
by water limitation. Cultivars with high phenolic and flavonoids content were
associated with high antioxidant activity and slightly yielded higher than the others.
The anatomical transverse sections of the roots and petioles have shown some
secondary growth. The anatomy of the nodules of Mopani has shown some
interesting differences in response to the three treatments. Limited water decreased
xii
the size of the vascular tissue and sclerenchyma as a result altering the functionality
of the nodule. The anatomy of Sonop’s petiole had a thickened sclerenchymatous
bundle sheath covering the phloem tissue. The sclerenchyma tissue is thought to
guard against loss of water. The cross section of the leaf had a double layer of
palisade mesophyll (upper surface) and only a single layer of spongy mesophyll
(lower surface). In addition, the mesophyll and the epidermal cells of Mopani
appeared much thicker.
In terms of yield, there was no cultivar which yielded the highest but Mopani yielded
the lowest. Since Mopani was low yielding, the main focus of the discussion was on
the features (morphological, physiological and anatomical) of Mopani which can be
associated with drought susceptibility. Some of these features include reduced stem
length, large leaf surface area, low relative leaf water content, low growth medium
moisture content and low antioxidant activity.
