Selected symbiotic characteristics of fiveBradyrhizobium japonicum strains were assessed in association with ‘Ransom’ soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). In the first of two greenhouse experiments, relative nodulation competitiveness of the strains was examined. Strains were grouped into pairs, and corresponding cells were applied to surface-disinfected seeds so as to provide seven ratios of cell numbers between the two strains. Tap root nodules were harvested 28 days after sowing and serotyped by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Strains differed considerably in nodulation competitiveness, and these differences were successfully quantified using relationships previously proposed in the literature. A second experiment involved assessment of the reproducibility of this technique and characterization of the symbiotic response to single- and double-strain inocula. Differences in relative nodulating abilities of strains were apparent between experiments and were possibly related to observed variations in greenhouse temperatures. Plant shoot weight and total N content were not significantly correlated with nodule number or weight when evaluated across inoculation treatments, but these correlations were often significant within inoculation treatments. Certain double-strain inocula produced either positive or negative effects on shoot weight, N content, and nodulation, when compared with values predicted from corresponding controls receiving single-strain inocula.

Genetic parameters and selection strategies for soybean genotypes resistant to the stink bug-complex
Soybean genotypes resistant to stink bugs are derived from complex breeding processes obtained through indirect selection. The aim of the present work was to estimate genetic parameters for guiding selection strategies towards resistant genotypes, based on those traits associated with responses to pod-attacking stink bugs, such as the grain filling period (GFP), leaf retention (LR), percentage index of pod damage (PIPD) and percentage of spotted seeds (PSS). We assessed the parental lines IAC-100 (resistant) and FT-Estrela (susceptible), the progenies F(2) and F (4) , 30 progenies F (2:3) , 30 progenies BC (1) F (2:3) and 30 progenies BC (2) F (2:3) , besides the cultivars BRS Celeste and MGBR-46 (Conquista). Three field experiments, using randomized complete block design with three replications, were installed in Goiania-GO, in the 2002/03 season. Each experiment consisted of 36 treatments (6 common and 30 regular). Heritability estimates were: 74.6 and 36.1 (GFP); 51.9 and 19.9 (LR); 49.6 and 49.6 (PIPD) and 55.8 and 20.3 (PSS), in both the broad and narrow senses, respectively. Based on these results, we concluded that the best strategy for obtaining stink bug-resistant genotypes consists of selecting the PIPD trait in early generations (F (3) or F (4) ), followed by selection for the GFP, LR and PSS traits in generations with higher endogamy levels. 相似文献

Molecular species of glycinin in some soybean cultivars 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A(4) polypeptide-containing (Shirotsurunoko and York) and A(4) polypeptide-lacking (Raiden and Suzuyutaka) soybean cultivars were used to investigate the heterogeneity of glycinin molecular species. Purification of glycinin by DEAE-Toyopearl column chromatography afforded molecular species eluting before the glycinin fraction. Analysis of this fraction by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and sucrose density gradient centrifugation indicated that this protein consisted of A(1) and A(2) polypeptides. The A(4)-containing soybean cultivars contained less of this protein than the A(4)-lacking soybean cultivars, as exhibited by the size of the early peak appearing during column chromatography. Alkaline PAGE and N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis confirmed that the A(1)- and A(2)-rich molecular species in the A(4) polypeptide-lacking cultivars consisted of the A(1a) and A(2) polypeptides. Estimation of the molecular mass by gel permeation chromatography and multi-angle laser light scattering (GPC-MALLS) indicated that the A(1a)- and A(2)-rich molecular species were similar to a monomer of glycinin. 相似文献

Five strains of gram negative bacteria, isolated from soybean (LPPA 221T, 222 and 223) and weeds (LPPA 816 and 1442), were analyzed by a polyphasic approach. The isolates showed variation in their phenotypic traits and were placed in the Pseudomonas fluorescens lineage, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny, as a single but well separated cluster. MLSA analysis based on gyrB and rpoD sequences clustered the strains in a single branch in the Pseudomonas syringae group, and revealed P. viridiflava as closest relative. DNA–DNA hybridizations showed medium levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with the type strain of P. viridiflava (50%) and lower levels (<32%) with other type strains of the P. syringae group, supporting classification within a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas. The strains can be distinguished from species of the P. syringae group by the fatty acid C17:0 cyclo that is present in a low amount (2.5%) and from P. viridiflava by their inability to assimilate d-tartrate and d-sorbitol, and by the formation of red colonies on TTC medium. For this new species, the name Pseudomonas asturiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LPPA 221T (=LMG 26898T = CECT 8095T). 相似文献

Soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, has caused serious economic damage to soybean across the North Central US since its introduction to North America in 2000. The management of another invasive soybean pest, Asian soybean rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, using foliar fungicide applications has the potential to impact soybean aphid populations by suppressing beneficial fungal entomopathogens. In 2005 and 2006, we applied recommended soybean rust fungicide treatments, consisting of strobilurin and triazole fungicides, to small soybean plots in two locations to assess if such applications might suppress aphid fungal epizootics. In Lamberton, MN, in 2005, during the epizootic, fungicide-treated plots averaged 2.0 ± 0.7% (mean ± SE) disease prevalence while untreated plots averaged 14.2 ± 5.6%. In 2007, we applied strobilurin and strobilurin-triazole mix fungicides to single-plant microplots either before or after release of Pandora neoaphidis, the most commonly observed aphid pathogen in 2005 and 2006. Treatments that contained a mixture of two active ingredients significantly lowered peak and cumulative aphid disease prevalence in both early and late reproductive stage soybeans indicating that fungicide mixtures used to manage soybean rust can negatively impact an aphid-specific fungal pathogen. However, no consistent soybean aphid population response was observed in these studies of low levels of aphid fungal infection. 相似文献

Summary A system for employing open-ended root chambers to measurein situ acetylene reduction rates under field conditions is described. Gas mixtures containing about 2 mbar acetylene were continuously
flowed through the chambers providing a continuous record of acetylene reduction. These chambers have been used to measure
acetylene reduction rates of soybeans during three growing seasons. The system has proved to be reliable with a high degree
of precision. The large amount of plant-to-plant variability observed in N2 fixation research has been confirmed by the data collected with this system. However, such variability in physiological studies
can be reduced by using a non-destructive system to compare the response of an individual plant with its rates before treatment. 相似文献

The translocation and metabolism of polyamines during soybean germination were studied using 15N-labelled putrescine as a precursor. Both 15N-labelled and unlabelled polyamines were simultaneously detected using a novel application of ionspray ionization-mass spectrometry. 15N-putrescine was rapidly transported to the shoots and roots, where it was converted to spermidine and spermine. The main 15N-polyamine that accumulated in the root was 15N-spermine. It was found that there were differences in the way endogenous putrescine and exogenous 15N-putrescine were metabolized in soybean seedlings. 相似文献

Processes involved in leaf photosynthetic acclimation to light and throughout the growing season were investigated in two hardwood species (Acer saccharum and Betula alleghaniensis), which differed in their level of shade-tolerance. For both species, variation in traits related to (i) leaf morphology (LMA, leaf mass:area ratio), (ii) leaf N content (NA, leaf nitrogen content on an area basis and NM, N concentration in leaf dry mass), (iii) leaf N partitioning among photosynthetic functions (Pr, N allocated to Rubisco, and Pb, N allocated to bioenergetics), and (iv) leaf photosynthetic capacity (Vcmax, maximal carboxylation rates, and Jmax, maximal light-driven electron flow) were assessed at three different times during the growing season (early, mid- and late summer) and under four contrasting light regimes (40, 17, 6 and 2% of full sunlight). For both species, light-driven variation in most traits was greater than their seasonally driven variation. Furthermore, results showed for both species the pre-eminence of LMA changes in the light-driven acclimation of NA. Importance of NM to variation in NA was restricted to seasonal acclimation, especially for the less shade-tolerant species, B. alleghaniensis. Similarly, for both species, light-driven acclimation of leaf photosynthetic capacities was tightly related to variation in NA, which was related to LMA changes. However, variation in Pr and Pb better explained seasonally driven variation in Vcmax and Jmax, specifically under lower light levels, where NA was low. Thus, the great variability observed for leaf activity in response to contrasting light environments was related to efficient morphological adjustments, regardless of species level of shade-tolerance. Finally, physiological adjustments were mainly involved in fine-scale changes observed during seasonally driven acclimation of leaves, when LMA was constrained to a slight range of variation. 相似文献

Effect of chaotropic agents on reversible unfolding of a soybean (Glycine max) seed acid phosphatase
In this work we examined the effect of urea and guanidinium chloride on the structural stability of a single isoform of soybean seed acid phosphatase, based on the intensity of tryptophan fluorescence as a function of denaturant concentration. The free energy of unfolding, DeltaGu, was calculated at 25 degrees C as a function of the concentrations of both chaotropic agents; the conformational stability, DeltaG (H2O), was determined to be 2.48 kcal mol(-1). Center of mass, determined from analysis of fluorescence data, was used as a parameter to assess conformational changes. Our results indicate that complete enzyme inactivation occurred before full enzyme unfolding in both cases, and suggest that there are differences between the conformational flexibility of the active-site and that of the macromolecule as a whole. 相似文献

Summary Soybean vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) were purified and characterized. Anion exchange HPLC resolved partially purified VSPs into fractions containing 27-kD/27-kD and 29-kD/29-kD homodimers and 27-kD/29-kD heterodimers. Reversed-phase HPLC resolved partially purified VSPs into three fractions. One fraction contained only 27-kD VSP and the other two contained 29-kD VSP. The two 29-kD VSP fractions differed with respect to their cyanogen bromide cleavage patterns, an observation that indicated the 29-kD VSPs were heterogeneous. Genomic clones that contained 29-kD VSP genes were also isolated and characterized. One genomic clone contained a complete 29-kD VSP gene and was sequenced. The coding region in the clone contained two introns whose borders had regulatory sequences typical of other eukaryotic genes. Putative polyadenlyation signals were present in the 3-flanking region of the gene, while putative TATA, CAAT, and enhancer core sequences were found in the 5-flanking regions. A second genomic clone that was studied contained the 5 regions of two partial 29-kD VSP genes in an inverted linkage. Genomic DNA gel blots showed that the two genes were organized in the same arrangement in the soybean genome.Cooperative research between USDA/Agricultural Research Service and the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station.

Nitrogen (N) is often the most limiting nutrient in organic cropping systems. N2 fixing crops present an important option to improve N supply and to maintain soil fertility. In a field experiment, we investigated
whether the lower N fertilization level and higher soil microbial activity in organic than conventional systems affected symbiotic
N2 fixation by soybean (Glycine max, var. Maple Arrow) growing in 2004 in plots that were since 1978 under the following systems: bio-dynamic (DYN); bio-organic
(ORG); conventional with organic and mineral fertilizers (CON); CON with exclusively mineral fertilizers (MIN); non-fertilized
control (NON). We estimated the percentage of legume N derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa) by the natural abundance (NA) method.
For ORG and MIN we additionally applied the enriched 15N isotope dilution method (ID) based on residual mineral and organic 15N labeled fertilizers that were applied in 2003 in microplots installed in ORG and MIN plots. These different enrichment treatments
resulted in equal %Ndfa values. The %Ndfa obtained by NA for ORG and MIN was confirmed by the ID method, with similar variation.
However, as plant growth was restricted by the microplot frames the NA technique provided more accurate estimates of the quantities
of symbiotically fixed N2 (Nfix). At maturity of soybean the %Ndfa ranged from 24 to 54%. It decreased in the order ORG > CON > DYN > NON > MIN, with
significantly lowest value for MIN. Corresponding Nfix in above ground plant material ranged from 15 to 26 g N m-2, with a decreasing trend in the order DYN = ORG > CON > MIN > NON. For all treatments, the N withdrawal by harvested grains
was greater than Nfix. This shows that at the low to medium %Ndfa, soybeans did not improve the N supply to any system but
removed significant amounts of soil N. High-soil N mineralization and/or low-soil P availability may have limited symbiotic
N2 fixation. 相似文献

An isolation procedure for soybean (Glycine max L. cv Williams 82) nodule cytosol proteins was developed which greatly improved protein resolution by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The most abundant proteins were selected and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The identified proteins were categorized by function (% of total proteins analyzed): carbon metabolism (28%), nitrogen metabolism (12%), reactive oxygen metabolism (12%) and vesicular trafficking (11%). The first three categories were expected based on the known physiological functions of the symbiotic nitrogen fixation process. The number of proteins involved in vesicular trafficking suggests a very active exchange of macromolecules and membrane components. Among the 69 identified proteins were the enzymes of the three carbon portion of glycolysis, which were further characterized to support their roles in the sucrose synthase pathway to provide malate for the bacteroids. Proteomic analysis provides a functional tool by which to understand and further investigate nodule function. 相似文献

Summary A field experiment was conducted on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) with a view to find out the effect of seed inoculation and scheduling of irrigation on nodulation, accumulation and re-distribution of nitrogen in plant tops and soil. The eight treatment combinations consists of two seed inoculations,viz. uninoculated and inoculated with rhizobium culture, and four irrigation schedules,viz. irrigation water to the cumulative pan evaporation (IW/CPE) ratio of 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and a control (rainfed). Seed inoculation by, rhizobium culture increased the number, dry-weight and N content of nodules per plant. Inoculation of seeds also increased the N accumulation rate in plant top and it was 2.48 kg/ha/day during the flower-initiation to the pod-initiation stage (30–60 days interval). At harvest, 32.2, 47.8 and 26.2 kg N/ha was re-distributed from the stems, leaves and pods-wall of inoculated plants to the grains, respectively. A total of 186.5 kg N/ha was harvested and 64.7 kg N/ha, was accumulated in soil under the inoculated condition.Scheduling of irrigation at 0.7 IW/CPE proved better, than other irrigation schedules and helped in increasing the nodulation, nitrogen accumulation and grain yield. As compared to control, 8.4, 17.8 and 18.4 kg more of N/ha was redistributed from the stems, leaves and pods-wall respectively when the irrigations were scheduled at 0.7 IW/CPE ratio. Under this irrigation schedule the total N harvest was 200.1 kg/ha while the total N increased by 55.9 kg over that present in soil at the time of sowing. 相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] forms a symbiosis with serogroups of Bradyrhizobium japonicum that differ in their dinitrogen fixing abilities. The objectives of this study were to identify soybean genotypes that would restrict nodulation by relatively inefficient serogroups indigenous to a large portion of the southeastern USA, and then characterize the nodulation responses of selected genotypes with specific bradyrhizobial strains under controlled conditions. From field screening trials followed by controlled single and competitive inoculations of serogroups USDA 31, 76 and 110, twelve soybean genotypes out of 382 tested were identified with varying levels of exclusion abilities. Soybean nodule occupancies and nodulation characteristics were influenced by plant genotype, environment (i.e. field or greenhouse), bradyrhizobial serogroup, and location of nodules (i.e. tap or lateral root). The cultivar Centennial sustains high seed yields even though it nodulates to a high degree with the inefficient serogroup USDA 31. In contrast, data from the released cultivars Braxton, Centennial and Coker 368 indicate that they may have been selected to exclude the inefficient serogroup USDA 76 from their tap root nodules, possibly contributing to high seed yield. 相似文献

Anther culture and cold treatment of floral buds increased symmetrical and extra nuclei frequencies in soybean pollen grains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Androgenic response is characterized by a multinucleate or multicellular stage of pollen development. Histological sections stained with toluidine blue and squashes in propionic-carmine and in 4-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) were used for serial observations (0, 14 and 28 days) in soybean pollen grains from cultured anthers and floral buds submitted to cold treatment at 4 °C. In a total of 62,536 pollen grains, it were observed general averages of 2.06% of pollen grains with two symmetrical nuclei and of 1.41% pollen grains with typical extra nuclei (i.e. additional nuclei with typical morphology). Symmetrical and extra nuclei frequencies increased in both treatments but only the number of pollen grains with typical extra nuclei increased significantly with time of exposure to treatments. In addition, 8.59% of multinucleate pollen grains were recorded with atypical nuclei, smaller than vegetative or generative-types and with a fragmented shape. The frequency of these grains increased significantly with time of exposure to treatments. Thus, soybean multinucleate grains occurrence was not an exclusive response to culture. These preliminary results point to the need of further studies to clarify the relationship between typical and fragmented extra nuclei with both androgenesis and programmed cell death. 相似文献

Daytime rates of net photosynthesis of upper canopy leaflets of soybeans were compared on 17 days for leaflets exposed to air at the ambient humidity and at a higher humidity. Leaflets at the higher humidity had higher rates of net photosynthesis on 16 of the 17 days. The daily total of net photosynthesis of leaflets at the higher humidity was on average 1.32 times that for leaflets at ambient humidity. A strong limitation of net photosynthesis by ambient humidity was found throughout the growing season. 相似文献

Acacia mangium is a legume tree native to Australasia. Since the eighties, it has been introduced into many tropical countries, especially in a context of industrial plantations. Many field trials have been set up to test the effects of controlled inoculation with selected symbiotic bacteria versus natural colonization with indigenous strains. In the introduction areas, A. mangium trees spontaneously nodulate with local and often ineffective bacteria. When inoculated, the persistence of inoculants and possible genetic recombination with local strains remain to be explored. The aim of this study was to describe the genetic diversity of bacteria spontaneously nodulating A. mangium in Brazil and to evaluate the persistence of selected strains used as inoculants. Three different sites, several hundred kilometers apart, were studied, with inoculated and non-inoculated plots in two of them. Seventy-nine strains were isolated from nodules and sequenced on three housekeeping genes (glnII, dnaK and recA) and one symbiotic gene (nodA). All but one of the strains belonged to the Bradyrhizobium elkanii species. A single case of housekeeping gene transfer was detected among the 79 strains, suggesting an extremely low rate of recombination within B. elkanii, whereas the nodulation gene nodA was found to be frequently transferred. The fate of the inoculant strains varied depending on the site, with a complete disappearance in one case, and persistence in another. We compared our results with the sister species Bradyrhizobium japonicum, both in terms of population genetics and inoculant strain destiny. 相似文献

To establish a proteomic reference map for soybean leaves, we separated and identified leaf proteins using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Tryptic digests of 260 spots were subjected to peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) MS. Fifty-three of these protein spots were identified by searching NCBInr and SwissProt databases using the Mascot search engine. Sixty-seven spots that were not identified by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis were analyzed with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and 66 of these spots were identified by searching against the NCBInr, SwissProt and expressed sequence tag (EST) databases. We have identified a total of 71 unique proteins. The majority of the identified leaf proteins are involved in energy metabolism. The results indicate that 2D-PAGE, combined with MALDI-TOF-MS and LC-MS/MS, is a sensitive and powerful technique for separation and identification of soybean leaf proteins. A summary of the identified proteins and their putative functions is discussed. 相似文献

Isopropyl-3-chlorocarbanilate-phenyl UL-14C (CIPC-14C) is absorbed, translocated and metabolized by soybean plants. Water-soluble metabolites in root and shoot were purified and the root major metabolite characterized. The acetylated aglucones from the β-glucosidase hydrolysis and the esters from the direct acetylation of CIPC-14C polar metabolites were purified by GLC and analysed by mass spectrometry. The data showed that the phenyl riong of CIPC-14C was hydroxylated by both root and shoot tissues. Isopropyl-5-chloro-2-hydroxycarbanilate (hydroxy-CIPC) was the predominant aglucone liberated by β-glucosidase from polar metabolites in root and shoot. The o-glucoside of hydroxy-CIPC was shown to be present, by direct acetylation and characterization. In shoot tissue the major metabolites were dechlorinated hydroxy-CIPC and were not hydrolysed by β-glucosidase. These data show that soybean root or shoot tissues hydroxylate the phenyl ring of CIPC-14C but do not alter either the isopropyl alcohol moiety or the earbamate bond. 相似文献

Nitrogen accumulation and redistribution in soybean genotypes with variation in seed protein concentration 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Breeding for high seed protein concentration in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] often results in lower yield, but the basis for this negative relationship is not well understood. To address this question, we evaluated the N acquisition characteristics of three high protein and three normal soybean genotypes in the field for 3 years. Plants were grown in 0.76 m rows following conventional cultural practices and water stress was minimized with sprinkler irrigation. We determined the mass and N concentration of leaves, petioles and stems at the beginning of seed filling (growth stage R5) and of stems at maturity. The N concentration of abscised leaves and petioles was also determined. There was significant variation among genotypes in total seed N (g m−2) at maturity (range from 14.7 to 24.4 g N m−2) as a result of variation in seed N concentration and yield. There was no evidence that the larger amounts of mature seed N were associated with a larger vegetative N reservoir at growth stage R5 as determined by vegetative mass at R5 or the concentration of N in vegetative tissues. Increasing seed N at maturity did not lower the N concentration in abscised leaves and petioles, or in the stems at maturity. The rate and timing of leaf senescence (loss of chlorophyll) was essentially the same for all genotypes. With no increase in the contribution from redistributed N, increases in N uptake or fixation during seed filling must have been responsible for the higher levels of seed N at maturity in high-protein genotypes. These data suggest that increasing total seed N at maturity by selecting for higher seed protein concentration or higher yield in soybean does not require, as some models suggest, a larger vegetative N reservoir at the beginning of seed filling or more rapid senescence. 相似文献
