Emergence and growth of two non-nodulated soybean genotypes (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in response to soil acidity

Toxic levels of extractable soil Al limit production of important crops in many areas of the world. The nature of the limitation in soybeans is not completely understood. Our objectives were to investigate the cause of acid-soil-induced delays in seedling emergence, the effect of acidity on productivity in non-nodulated soybeans and further test the Al tolerance of PI 416,937 compared to a sensitive control, Essex. Growth characteristics of the two genotypes through the flowering stage were measured on a Corozal clay (Aquic Tropudult) in Puerto Rico which had been differentially limed to provide a wide range of soil Al. Early growth was also studied in the laboratory using soil from the field experiment. Highly acidic soil conditions, coupled with high Al levels, reduced growth in both Essex and PI 416,937. The principal factor responsible for delayed emergence in the high Al soil was not delayed radicle initiation, but delayed initiation of hypocotyl elongation. Hypocotyl initiation was highly associated with rate of tap root growth, with the former possibly determined by the latter, because a minimum tap root length of 60 mm was required in both high and low Al soils before hypocotyl initiation commenced. In seedlings, the high acidity reduced root more than shoot growth. By 44 days after planting (DAP), however, soil acidity had reduced shoot growth greatly. Although the soybean plants were not nodulated, foliar N levels and shoot growth were decreased by high Al levels, indicating that interference with N fixation may not be the sole mechanism by which nitrogen accumulation and plant growth is reduced in the field.Joint contribution from the USDA, ARS, Tropical Agriculture Research Station, Mayaguez, PR; USDA, ARS, Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research Unit, Raleigh, NC, and the Agricultural Experiment Station-University of Puerto Rico (AES-UPR), Rio Piedras, PR.Joint contribution from the USDA, ARS, Tropical Agriculture Research Station, Mayaguez, PR; USDA, ARS, Soybean and Nitrogen Fixation Research Unit, Raleigh, NC, and the Agricultural Experiment Station-University of Puerto Rico (AES-UPR), Rio Piedras, PR.

Biochemical side effects of genetic transformation of pineapple

Evaluations were made during 30 days of in vitro-plantlet hardening. Transformed (bar, chitinase, ap24 transgenes) and non-transformed plantlets were compared. Both groups of plantlets were similar in regard with plant height and weight and peroxidase activity. However, statistical significant changes, caused by transformation, were recorded in levels of malondialdehyde, other aldehydes, chlorophyll (a, b, total), phenolics (free and cell wall-linked) and proteins.

基于线粒体基因对细痣疣螈种组系统发育关系的探讨及物种修订建议

该文基于两段线粒体基因COI和ND1 -ND2部分序列片段构建了细痣疣螈种组的系统发育关系,结果显示该单系群内包含了四个明显的进化支系(A、B、C、D).A支系与B、C支系构成姐妹群关系;A支系包含了细痣疣螈、海南疣螈、老挝疣螈和“越南疣螈”以及另外两个来自越南未被命名的种群;C支系代表了一个新的独立进化支,可能是一个隐存种;C支系与B支系构成姐妹群关系.此外,来自模式产地的越南疣螈单独构成支系D.该文结果不支持以往细痣疣螈种组部分物种的划分,建议对该种组进行新的分类修订.该文强调了在分类研究中应该重视使用来自模式产地的样品并进行广泛的地理居群采样.
