Internode length and diameter in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) are closely associated with lodging. The pattern of internode elongation and increase in internode diameter and factors involved were studied in two soybean cultivars, HN48 (tall-stem cultivar) and HN60 (dwarf cultivar), in the growing seasons of 2017 and 2018. Four treatments included natural lighting, shading of the apical meristem, covering of all internodes with aluminium foil, and whole-plant shading with plastic shading nets. When the number of internodes (N) on the main stem was >3, internode N began to elongate. Internode N – 1 exhibited the most rapid elongation, and internode N – 2 elongated slowly. Internode N – 3 stopped elongating, but the increase in internode diameter did not cease as internode elongation stopped. Shading the soybean apical meristem, the stem, and the whole plant all led to internode elongation. Different shading conditions did not alter the pattern of internode elongation. Soybean stem and apical meristem were both light-sensitive tissues. With an increase in shading, internode length increased, whereas internode diameter decreased. Contents of gibberellic acid (GA3) and salicylic acid in the stem also increased, but abscisic acid content decreased. Shading reduced the size of starch grains but increased the number of osmiophilic granules in the chloroplast. Elevated GA3 level was the main cause of the changes in internode length and diameter induced by shading. These results suggest that reduction in GA3 synthesis and enhancement in carbohydrates formation could a strategy for soybean plants to avoid lodging.

Regulatory Effects

Excessive plant height is an important factor that can lead to lodging, which is closely related to soybean yield. Gibberellins are widely used as plant growth regulators in agricultural production. Gibberellic acid (GA3), one of the most effective active gibberellins, has been used to regulate plant height and increase yields. The mechanism through which GA3 regulates internode elongation has been extensively investigated. In 2019 and 2020, we applied GA3 to the stems, leaves, and roots of two soybean cultivars, Heinong 48 (a high-stalk cultivar) and Henong 60 (a dwarf cultivar), and GA3 was also applied to plants whose apical meristem was removed or to girded plants to compare the internode length and stem GA3 content of soybean plants under different treatments. These results suggested that the application of GA3 to the stems, leaves, and roots of soybean increased the internode length and GA3 content in the stems. Application of GA3 decreased the proportion of the pith in the soybean stems and primary xylem while increasing the proportion of secondary xylem. The apical meristem is an important site of GA3 synthesis in soybean stems and is involved in the regulation of stem elongation. GA3 was shown to be transported acropetally through the xylem and laterally between the xylem and phloem in soybean stems. We conclude that the GA3 level in stems is an important factor affecting internode elongation.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a major crop providing important source for protein and oil for human life. Low phosphate (LP) availability is a critical limiting factor affecting soybean production. Soybean plants develop a series of strategies to adapt to phosphate (Pi) limitation condition. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for LP stress response remain largely unknown. Here, we performed a label-free quantification (LFQ) analysis of soybean leaves grown under low and high phosphate conditions. We identified 267 induced and 440 reduced differential proteins from phosphate-starved leaves. Almost a quarter of the LP decreased proteins are involved in translation processes, while the LP increased proteins are accumulated in chlorophyll biosynthetic and carbon metabolic processes. Among these induced proteins, an enolase protein, GmENO2a was found to be mostly induced protein. On the transcriptional level, GmENO2a and GmENO2b, but not GmENO2c or GmENO2d, were dramatically induced by phosphate starvation. Among 14 enolase genes, only GmENO2a and GmENO2b genes contain the P1BS motif in their promoter regions. Furthermore, GmENO2b was specifically induced in the GmPHR31 overexpressing soybean plants. Our findings provide molecular insights into how soybean plants tune basic carbon metabolic pathway to adapt to Pi deprivation through the ENO2 enzymes.

A soja, Glycine max (L.) Merril, é uma das culturas de maior importância econômica para o Brasil, considerada uma commodity nacional devido à sua alta produtividade e participação nas exportações no mercado internacional. Dentre os insetos-pragas que causam danos para essa cultura, nos últimos anos agrícolas têm merecido destaque as lagartas de Spodoptera eridania (Cramer), as quais podem se alimentar tanto de folhas quanto das vagens das plantas de soja, causando prejuízos econômicos para os sojicultores, principalmente nas áreas do Cerrado localizadas na região Centro-Oeste do país. O objetivo da presente revisão é disponibilizar informações sobre os aspectos bionômicos de S. eridania, a fim de dar subsídios para futuras pesquisas sobre o manejo dessa praga.Bionomic Aspects of Spodoptera eridania (Cramer): A Pest in Expansion on Soybean Crop in the Region of Brazilian CerradoAbstract. Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merril, represents one of the major economically important crops to Brazil, and is considered a national commodity because of its high yield and participation in international trade exportations. Among the insect pests that cause damage to this crop, Spodoptera eridania (Cramer) larvae highlighted in the last agricultural seasons by feeding on leaves and pods of soybean plants, and hence causing economical losses to soybean growers, especially in the Cerrado areas located in the Midwest region of the country. We aimed with this review to provide information about bionomical aspects of S. eridania in order to give subsides for further researches on the management of this pest.

Soybean [(Glycine max (L.) Merrill] commercial fields, maintained under a no-till system, were sampled during the crop seasons 1990/91 and 1996/97, in Cruz Alta and Júlio de Castilhos, Rio Grande do Sul State, to determine the distribution of eggs, larvae and adults of Sternechus subsignatus Boheman (Coleoptera : Curculionidae). Soybean plants and soil were examined at different time schedules. Eggs and larvae were recorded in main stems, lateral branches and leaf petioles, divided into the upper third, medium and lower third of soybean plants. Eggs (87%), and larvae (79%) were mainly observed in the main stem and in the medium plant sections (87% and 78%, respectively). Larval movement was not observed because larvae remained inside the galls, in the same area where the eggs were laid. Adults were located in different places depending on the sampling time. At night, adults were observed to move to the upper third of the plant and, during the day, down to the lower third of the plant and to the soil. The insects are normally concealed during their pre- and post- embryonic stage throughout most of the day.

Tillage Method

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) can produce high-N residues that may benefit subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) production, but the degree of benefit is often unpredictable and may be related to tillage methods. This study investigated the effects of conventional-tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT) on fertilizer replacement values for corn in a corn-soybean rotation. Field experiments were conducted for two growing seasons on two soils, a Ste. Rosalie clay (Humic Gleysol), and an Ormstown silty clay (Humic Gleysol). Continuous corn, corn following soybean, soybean following corn, continuous soybean, and three levels of fertilizer N (0, 90, 180 and 0, 20, and 40 kg N ha−1 for corn and soybean, respectively) were compared. Tillage did not effect yield or N uptake consistently. Corn grain yields and N uptake were greater following soybean than following corn. Soybean provided N fertilizer credits ranging from 40 to 150 kg N ha−1, which was greater than the residual NO3 in the soil prior to planting. Credits were greater in the year with higher corn yields and lower previous winter precipitation resulting in greater NO3 carryover. Tillage effects on N credits from soybean differed between the sites. Consequently, N contributions of soybean to corn could not be related to tillage method or soil type.

Early emergent nodules on roots of hydroponically grown soybean plants (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) were sectioned serially to locate the site of infection by Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The plants had been inoculated only after their root systems had produced numerous higher order branches. The hydroponic solutions contained all required nutrients, including either a suboptimal concentration of nitrate (0.5 mM) or an excess of nitrate (4.0 mM). In all six nodules examined, three with suboptimal nitrate and three with excess nitrate, we found a centrally located root hair containing an infection thread. We conclude that mature root systems of soybean grown in aqueous culture can undergo infection through root hairs in the way that is typical of young seedlings grown either in pots of vermiculite or pouches.

The objective of this study was to characterize the pathogenicity of several local isolates of Diaporthe phaseolorum (Cooke & Ellis) Sacc. var. meridionalis Fernández and its anamorph, Phomopsis phaseoli (Desmaz.) Sacc. meridionalis Morgan-Jones, the causal agent of southern stem canker of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), in soybean lines carrying major resistance genes. Soybean plants with typical stem canker symptoms were collected during the 1996 to 1997 and 1997 to 1998 growing seasons in the central and southern areas of Santa Fe Province, Argentina. The pathogen was isolated from the internal tissues of infected stems, cultured on potato glucose agar acidified with 0.2% lactic acid (APGA), amended with streptomycin at 100 mg/liter, and maintained in the dark at 25 ± 1°C. Isolates were characterized based on the morphology of colonies, perithecia, and pycnidia and measurement of asci, bicellular, biguttulate ascospores, and alpha conidia (1). Soybean cultivars used to assay pathogenicity included Tracy M (Rdc1 and Rdc2 genes), Isoline I (Tracy Misoline with only the Rdc1 gene), Isoline II (Tracy M isoline with only the Rdc2 gene), Crockett (Rdc3 gene), Hutchinson (Rdc4 gene), and RA 702 (susceptible cultivar). Hypocotyls of 14-day-old seedlings grown in the greenhouse were inoculated by the toothpick method. Four replicates of nine seedlings each were used. Seedlings punctured with sterile toothpicks served as controls. The experiment was repeated twice with similar results. The D. phaseolorum var. meridionalis isolates assayed and their collection locations were Dpm1 (Malabrigo), Dpm2 (Los Molinos), Dpm3 (San Justo), Dpm5 (Oliveros), Dpm6 (San Jerónimo), and Dpm7 (Clarke). Twenty-eight days after inoculation, stem canker reactions were measured as the percentage of dead plants. The pathogen was reisolated from stems of randomly chosen symptomatic plants on day 14 after inoculation. These plants were included in the calculation of the percentage of dead plants. In control plants, lesions were not detected, and mycelial growth did not occur from stem portions plated on APGA. Tracy M and RA 702 had 0 to 7% dead plants and 70 to 95% dead plants, respectively, with all assayed isolates. Cultivars with single resistance genes reacted differently to various isolates. Isolates Dpm1 and Dpm3 caused little or no stem canker (<10% dead plants) on all cultivars with resistance genes. Isolates Dpm2 and Dpm6 killed 56 and 52%, respectively, of Isoline II (Rdc2 gene) plants. Isolates Dpm2 and Dpm7 killed 25% of cv. Hutchinson (Rdc4 gene) and Isoline I (Rdc1 gene) plants, respectively. Isolate Dpm5 killed <12% of plants with genes Rdc1, Rdc2, or Rdc3. The reaction of isolate Dpm5 with Hutchinson (Rdc4 gene) was not evaluated. The pathogenic diversity of these isolates of D. phaseolorum var. meridionalis may have been induced by the wide diffusion of resistant host cultivars (2). References: (1) F. A. Fernández and R. T.

The present investigation aims to perceive the effect of exogenous ampelopsin treatment on salinity and heavy metal damaged soybean seedlings (Glycine max L.) in terms of physiochemical and molecular responses. Screening of numerous ampelopsin concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, 5, 10 and 25 μM) on soybean seedling growth indicated that the 1 μM concentration displayed an increase in agronomic traits. The study also determined how ampelopsin application could recover salinity and heavy metal damaged plants. Soybean seedlings were irrigated with water, 1.5% NaCl or 3 mM chosen heavy metals for 12 days. Our results showed that the application of ampelopsin raised survival of the 45-day old salinity and heavy metal stressed soybean plants. The ampelopsin treated plants sustained high chlorophyll, protein, amino acid, fatty acid, salicylic acid, sugar, antioxidant activities and proline contents, and displayed low hydrogen peroxide, lipid metabolism, and abscisic acid contents under unfavorable status. A gene expression survey revealed that ampelopsin application led to the improved expression of GmNAC109, GmFDL19, GmFAD3, GmAPX, GmWRKY12, GmWRKY142, and GmSAP16 genes, and reduced the expression of the GmERF75 gene. This study suggests irrigation with ampelopsin can alleviate plant damage and improve plant yield under stress conditions, especially those including salinity and heavy metals.
