Responses of photosynthesis to irradiance and temperature in soybean,Glycine max (L.) Merr

The response of photosynthesis to irradiance and temperature during growth was investigated in two soybean genotypes. Soybean is a species that can modify its structure and metabolism so as to adapt to differing light conditions; its responses to rapid changes in irradiance are characterized by their flexibility. However, the temperature during growth can change the response to irradiance: moreover, there may be a marked interaction with genotype.The response of photosynthesis to irradiance consists of changes in leaf thickness, which bring about variations in the mesophyll resistance to CO₂ transfer. The increase in net photosynthesis per unit of leaf area is due to the increase in the amount of assimilating material beneath unit of area, as corroborated by the stability of the net photosynthesis per unit volume. Moreover, the response of photosynthesis to temperature is due to the mesophyll diffusion constant which decreases with the growth temperature.     

Pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid reductase from soybean leaves

Pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid reductase was purified 40-fold from soybean leaves (Glycine max L. var Corsoy). The enzyme was fairly unstable, had a broad pH optimum, and was inactivated by heat and acid; NADH and NADPH both served as cofactors. It had a higher activity with NADH (about 4 ×) compared to NADPH, but a lower K_m for NADPH. NADP⁺ inhibited both the NADH- and NADPH-dependent activity. Sulfhydryl group blocking agents reduced the activity as did the carbonyl blocking agent, NH₂OH. Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid and phosphate inhibited the enzyme and proline inhibited only at high concentrations. ATP, GTP, and CTP were all effective inhibitors of both the NADH- and NADPH-dependent activity. Phosphorylated nucleotide inhibition was reversed by Mg²⁺ ions.     

Catabolism of flavonol glucosides in plant cell suspension cultures

Catabolism of flavonol glucosides was investigated in plant cell suspension cultures using kaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucoside and kaempferol 7-O-β-d-glucoside labelled with ¹⁴C either in the glucose or in the flavonol moiety. Catabolic rates of glucosides were compared with those of free glucose and kaempferol. All substrates were degraded efficiently by cell cultures of mungbean, soybean, garbanzo bean and parsley. Based on ¹⁴CO₂-formation, glucose from position 3 of kaempferol is 3–5 times more rapidly metabolized than that from position 7. The flavonol nucleus from both isomers is, however, oxidized to the same extent with a considerable portion of the flavonol being incorporated into insoluble polymeric cell material.     

大豆对斜纹夜蛾幼虫抗性遗传的发展表达过程

采用植物数量性状遗传体系分离分析方法,通过4个感抗杂交组合研究了在网室人工接入斜纹夜蛾幼虫的条件下大豆抗斜纹夜蛾植株反应发育过程的遗传。不论P1、P2、F1、F2、F2：3多世代联合分析或单个分离世代分析,结果均表明大豆对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的抗性为两对主基因 多基因遗传模式。但在大豆生长发育的不同时期,随害虫数量的变化,其抗虫性遗传呈动态变化过程。在两对主基因充分表达日期,主基因的遗传率较高,达70.40%-99.21%,环境影响较小;多基因遗遗传率较低,为0.00%-22.29%。
