The interaction of rockphosphate,Bradyrhizobium, vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae and phosphate-solubilizing microbes on soybean grown in a sub-Himalayan mollisol

A factorial design 2³ × 4 with two levels of Mussorie rockphosphate (RP) with or without vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and four treatments of phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM) Pseudomonas striata, Bacillus polymyxa, Aspergillus awamori was employed using Patharchatta sandy loam soil (Typic Hapludoll). The observations included mycorrhization, nodulation, grain and straw yield, N and P uptake, available soil P and the PSM population in the soil after crop harvest. Inoculation with endophytes alone caused about 70% root colonization. Addition of rockphosphate or inoculation with PSM, except B. polymyxa, stimulated root infection of native as well as introduced VAM endophytes. Application of RP or inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum, mycorrhizal fungi or phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms significantly increased nodulation, N uptake, available soil P and the PSM population in the soil after the crop harvest. The grain and straw yields did not increase following RP addition or mycorrhizal inoculation but increased significantly after inoculation wit Bradyrhizobium or PSM. In general, the application of RP, Bradyrhizobium, VAM and PSM in combinations of any two or three resulted in significant increases in nodulation, plant growth, grain yield and uptake of N and P. Among the four factor interactions, rockphosphate, Bradyrhizobium and P. striata in the absence of VAM resulted in maximal nodulation, grain and straw yields and N uptake by soybean. The highest P uptake by soybean grain was recorded with Bradyrhizobium and A. awamori in the absence of rockphosphate and VAM. Generally, available soil P and PSM population after crop harvest were not significantly increased by the treatment combinations giving the maximal uptake of nutrients. However, they increased significantly in response to PSM, which produced no significant increase in total uptake of nutrients.Research paper no. 7498

Genetics and cytology of a new genic male-sterile soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]

 Genetic and cytological studies were conducted with a new male-sterile, female-fertile soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant. This mutant was completely male sterile and was inherited as a single-recessive gene. No differences in female or male gamete transmission of the recessive allele were observed between reciprocal cross-pollinations in the F₁ or F₂ generations. This mutant was not allelic to any previously identified soybean genic male-sterile mutants: ms1, ms2, ms3, ms4, ms5, or ms6. No linkage was detected between sterility and flower color (W1 locus), or between sterility and pubescence color (T1 locus). Light microscopic and cytological observations of microsporogenesis in fertile and sterile anthers were conducted. The structure of microspore mother cells (MMC) in male-sterile plants was identical to the MMCs in male-fertile plants. Enzyme extraction analyses showed that there was no callase activity in male-sterile anthers, and this suggests that sterility was caused by retention of the callose walls, which normally are degraded around tetrads at the late tetrad stage. The tapetum from male-sterile anthers also showed abnormalities at the tetrad stage and later stages, which were expressed by an unusual formation of vacuoles, and by accumulation of densely staining material. At maturity, anthers from sterile plants were devoid of pollen grains. Received: 13 May 1996 / Revision accepted: 19 August 1996     

Inheritance of alleles for Cgy1 and Gy4 storage protein genes in soybean

Summary A cultivar lacking the glycinin subunit A₅A₄B₃ (Raiden) was crossed with one lacking the -subunit of -conglycinin (Keburi). Analysis of F₂ and F₃ progeny indicated that the missing bands of the A₅A₄B₃ and the -subunit were each controlled by a recessive allele of two independently segregating genes. Gene symbols Gy ₄/gy ₄ and Cgy ₁/cgy ₁ were proposed for the genes which confer the presence or absence of the glycinin and conglycinin subunits, respectively.Cooperative research of USDA-ARS and the Indiana Agric.

Effect of plant genotype and nitrogen fertilizer on symbiotic nitrogen fixation by soybean cultivars

Summary Isotopic as well as non-isotopic methods were used to assess symbiotic nitrogen fixation within eight soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars grown at 20 and 100 kg N/ha levels of nitrogen fertilizer under field conditions.The¹⁵N methodology revealed large differences between soybean cultivars in their abilities to support nitrogen fixation. In almost all cases, the application of 100 kg N/ha resulted in lower N₂ fixed in soybean than at 20 kg N/ha in the first year of the study. However, N₂ fixed in one cultivar, Dunadja, was not significantly affected by the higher rate of N fertilizer application. These results were confirmed by measurements of acetylene reduction activity, nodule dry weight and N₂ fixed as measured by the difference method. Further proof of differences in N₂ fixed within soybean cultivars and the ability of Dunadja to fix similar amounts of N₂ at 20 and 100 kg N/ha was obtained during a second year experiment. Dunadja yield was affected by N fertilizer and produced larger yield at 100 kg N/ha than at 20 kg N/ha. This type of cultivar could be particularly useful in situations where soil N levels are high or where there is need to apply high amounts of N fertilizer.The present study reveals the great variability between legume germplasms in the ability to fix N₂ at different inorganic N levels, and also the potential that exists in breeding for nitrogen fixation associative traits. The¹⁵N methodology offers a unique tool to evaluate germplasms directly in the field for their N₂ fixation abilities at different N fertilizer levels.     

Breeding soybeans for the tropics capable of nodulating effectively with indigenousRhizobium spp.

Summary Most soybean varieties fail to nodulate effectively in tropical soils unless inoculated with a competitive strain ofRhizobium japonicum. Developing countries in the tropics, with few exceptions, lack inoculant industries to produce and distribute viable inoculants to small farmers and extension programs to teach them to use inoculant. Several soybean genotypes have been identified that nodulate effectively with many strains of the cowpea inoculation group which is ubiquitous in tropical soils of Africa. Soybean genotypes that nodulate and grow well without inoculant application are called promiscuous. Methodologies for incorporation of the promiscuity character into high-yielding backgrounds are discussed.Supported in part by grant 05-0560 from United Nations Development Program to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture.     

Field evaluation of symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobial strains using15N methodology

Summary Small differences in N₂ fixation by nodulated soybeans (Glycine max. (L.) Merr.), inoculated with various strains ofRhizobium japonicum, were assessed in field experiments using¹⁵N methodology, and compared with yields of plant dry matter and total N. Percentage of plant-N derived from atmospheric N₂ and from fertilizer, and values of %¹⁵N atom excess had lower coefficients of variation than did total N and dry matter yield. Nevertheless the precision of estimates of kg N/ha fixed were sufficient to differentiate only the extremes of the range of strains tested, and there were discrepancies between ranking of strains based on % N derived from fertilizer and on total N yield.     

Symbiotic efficiency of Hup+ and Hup− strains ofRhizobium japonicum

Summary Relative efficiency of Hup⁺ and Hup^– R. japonicum strains with Pusa 16 cultivar of soybean was studied. Inoculation with the Hup⁺ strain (A 1014) reduced the protein content in grain as compared to uninoculated control.
