The Effect of Cyst Nematode Race 3 and Bradyrhizobium japonicum Interactions on Nodulation and Other Agronomic Characters of Three Soybean Genotypes

The effect of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) race 3 and strains of Bradyrhizobium japonkum interactions on nodulation and other agronomic characters of several soybean genotypes was investigated. Nodule weight was reduced in soybean cultivar Ogden treated with SCN plus Bradyrhizobia strains USDA 110 and 6 and on soybean cultivar Essex treated with SCN plus strain USDA 6. The result was reversed on soybean cultivar Essex treated with SCN plus strain USDA 110. The nodule number also decreased on soybean cultivars Ogden and Essex treated with SCN plus strains USDA 110 and 6. The fresh root weights of soybean cultivars Ogden and Essex treated with SCN plus strain USDA 110 were heavier than the fresh root weight of Essex treated with SCN plus strain USDA 6. Lower nitrogen content of stems and leaves was noted only in cultivar Essex treated with SCN plus strains USDA 110 and 6. Bradyrhizobia strain USDA 110 was more efficient in the initiation of nodules in cultivars Ogden and Essex than strain USDA 6. The nitrogen-fixing capacity of strain USDA 6 in Ogden was better than strain USDA 110. The differences in the agronomic performances of the various soybean genotypes were due to their degree of susceptibility to SCN and Bradyrhizobia strains and also to their genetic make-up.     

Interaction Amongst Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] Genotype, Soil Type and Inoculant Strain with Regard to N2 Fixation

The nitrogen (N₂)‐fixing bacterial inoculant strain for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is not indigenous to South African soils. The interaction between soybean genotype, soil type and inoculant strain, however, has a definite influence on soybean production and compatibility should be optimized. This paper reports a growth chamber study using three different soybean genotypes (Barc‐9, Avuturda and Talana), three Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculant strains (WB108, WB112 and WB1) and three soil types (Avalon, Arcadia and sand) to evaluate the effectiveness of N₂ fixation by different genotype × soil type × inoculant strain combinations, using different measuring parameters. These parameters included nodule fresh mass (NFM), amount of N₂ fixed (P_fix), as determined by the ureide method, seed protein content (SPC), average seed mass per plant (SMP) and average foliar N content (FNC). The comparison amongst the three‐way interactions, genotype × soil type × inoculant strain, did not differ significantly for the parameters used. Significant two‐way interactions were soil × inoculant for FNC, P_fix and SMP; soil × genotype for FNC and SMP, and inoculant × genotype for FNC (P < 0.05). The soil × inoculant strain interaction was significant for P_fix (P < 0.05). NFM, P_fix, FNC, SMP and SPC correlated positively with soil pH and negatively with soil clay content and soil NO₃^– and NH₄⁺ content (P < 0.05). SPC was significantly different (P < 0.05) for soil type, genotype and inoculant strain. P_fix and NFM did not reflect the protein content of the seeds, indicating that nodule evaluation should be used with caution as a N₂ fixation parameter. Low soil pH and high mineral N content inhibited N₂ fixation. NFM correlated negatively with the clay content of the soil. This finding confirms that soybean production in South Africa can be improved by appropriate selection of genotypes and inoculant strains for their compatibility in different soils.     

Use of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) fredii for soybean inoculants in South Spain

The symbiotic potential of fast-growing soybean rhizobia isolated from diverse provinces of China, including S. fredii SMH12 from Vietnam, has been evaluated. All of them produced nitrogen-fixing nodules with the American soybean cultivar Osumi under greenhouse and field conditions. Two years of field experiments conducted in two localities in South Spain with alkaline and moderately acid pH soils showed that seed yields of soybean plants inoculated with fast-growing strains SMH12, WH1, WH8 and WW4 were similar or higher than those obtained with soybean inoculated with the reference slow-growing Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain USDA110. Competitiveness studies between S. fredii SMH12 and B. japonicum USDA110 demonstrated that soybean cultivar and pH of soil determined the outcome of the competition. Alkaline pH (7.8) favoured SMH12 to occupied nodules with American soybean cultivars while USDA110 was more competitive in soils with a moderately acid pH (6.6). The Asiatic cultivar Peking was almost exclusively nodulated by SMH12 in both types of soils. On the other hand, the percentage of nodules occupied by fast-growing soybean inoculants applied into a soil containing indigenous Bradyrhizobium population of 4 × 10³ rhizobia/g was inferior to 18%. SMH12 occupied a 7% and 17% of the nodules with Osumi and Kochi soybean cultivars, respectively.     

Inheritance of resistance and genetic relationships among soybean plant introductions to races of soybean cyst nematode

Summary The objectives of this study were to determine if genes for resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in soybean PI 437654 were identical or different from the genes in Peking, and PI 90763. The F₂ plants and F₃ families were studied from crosses between PI 437654, Peking, and PI 90763. The cross PI 437654 × susceptible Essex was included to determine inheritance of resistance to SCN. For Race 3, PI 437654 was found to have genes in common with Peking and PI 90763. The segregation in PI 437654 × Essex indicated the presence of one dominant and two recessive genes. For Race 5, PI 437654 indicated the presence of similar genes as those in PI 90763 and Peking whereas, PI 437654 × Essex indicated the action of the segregation ratios of two dominant and two recessive genes. For Race 14, the data from the cross PI 437654 × PI 90763 indicated monogenic inheritance with resistance being dominant; whereas PI 437654 × Peking showed a recessive gene controlling resistance. The segregation in PI 437654(R) × Essex(S) suggested one dominant and two recessive genes for Race 14 reaction.     

Effect of Integrated Use of Farmyard Manure and Sulphur in a Soybean and Wheat Cropping System on Nodulation, Dry Matter Production and Chlorophyll Content of Soybean on Swell-Shrink Soils in Central India

In a 3-year experiment on a Typic Haplustert low in soil test sulphur (S), the response to applied farmyard manure (FYM) and S was studied in terms of the nodule production, nodule dry weight, chlorophyll content, dry matter production and seed yield of soybean. FYM was applied to soybean at four levels (0–16 t ha⁻¹). S as gypsum was also applied at four levels (0–60 kg ha⁻¹) to both soybean and wheat every year. Both total and active nodule production, nodule dry weight, dry matter production and seed yield of soybean were increased significantly by the application of both FYM and S. However, the proportion of total nodules to active nodules fell sharply for applications higher than 8 t FYM and 40 kg S ha⁻¹.     

Mineral Nitrogen Availability and Isoflavonoid Accumulation in the Root Systems of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Isoflavonoids, as plant-to-bacteria signal molecules, play an important role in the establishment of the soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.)– Bradyrhizobium japonicum nitrogen (N) fixing symbiosis. They are essential to the development of effective root nodules and responsible for inducing the nod genes of B. japonicum . Because N affects a broad range of infection events, especially the symbiotic events occurring within 18 h of inoculation, it is reasonable to hypothesize that mineral N disrupts the interorganismal signal exchange between soybean host plants and B. japonicum . High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of root extracts of soybean, inoculated with B. japonicum or not, grown with various levels of mineral N in the rooting medium were performed to test this hypothesis. The results of these studies indicated that: (1) at early plant growth stages (before the onset of N fixation), a strong negative relationship between N application and soybean root isoflavonoid (genistein and daidzein) concentrations existed; (2) although isoflavonoid (genistein and daidzein) concentrations in both inoculated and non-inoculated soybean root systems were generally decreased by N application, at very low N levels (10 mg N l⁻¹) genistein in the non-inoculated plant roots was not decreased relative to the 0 N plants; (3) averaged over all mineral N treatment levels and sampling times, inoculation of soybean with B. japonicum increased root daidzein concentrations (P > 0.05), but did not affect genistein. Overall, N application reduced the isoflavonoid concentration of soybean root systems, which probably plays a part in the regulation of soybean nodule formation by available N.

Wirkung von Impfung, N-Spät-, PK-Düngung und Beregnung auf den Kornertrag und die N-Akkumulation in den Samen von mehreren Sojabohnensorten an zwei Standorten Deutschlands

Effect of inoculation, late N- and PK-manuring and irrigation on seed yield and N-accumulation in the seed of several varieties of soybean at two locations in Germany
Effect of inoculation with rhizobium, late N- and PK-fertilization and irrigation on yield and N-accumulation in seeds of four soybean cultivars was tested in a polyfactoral experiment design.
Seed yield ranged from 11.5 to 43.7 dt DM/ha and N-accumulation in seeds from 52 to 247 kg/ha. Irrigation and inoculation were the most effective production techniques. Cultivar MA96 yielded 38.0 dt DM/ha in Frankenthal on a sandy soil when plants were irrigated and inoculated. No further yield increase was obtained with additional NPK-fertilization. Cultivar KW269 resulted in a significant higher yield (43.7 dt DM/ha) when late N-fertilization was given to irrigated and inoculated plants.     

山东大豆育成品种种子萌芽期耐盐性鉴定

盐害是一种重要的非生物胁迫之一,限制植物的生长并降低作物的产量和品质。对9个山东大豆育成品种种子进行不同盐浓度处理(5、10、15 g.L-1),统计了种子的发芽数、相对发芽率、株高、胚根长和须根数,分析了其相对盐害指数,评价各品种的耐盐性。随着盐浓度的增加,品种间的发芽数、株高、和须根数都呈下降趋势,品种间存在显著差异。在5 g.L-1的盐浓度处理下,3个品种的胚根长较对照呈增长趋势,其他指标在三个盐浓度处理下均呈降低趋势。在5 g.L-1的盐浓度处理下,9个品种都为高耐盐品种;在10 g.L-1的盐浓度处理下,有5个高耐盐品种;在15 g.L-1的盐浓度处理下,有1个高耐盐品种。证明了不同盐浓度处理下相对盐害指数与发芽率呈极显著负相关关系,能更好的反应大豆的耐盐性,为大豆耐盐种质创制提供丰富的数据参考和亲本材料,为完善大豆种质资源耐盐性研究和提高盐渍土壤利用效率提供资料依据。     

Effect of Inoculant Rate on Nodulation and Various Agronomic Traits of Soybean

In a soil lacking indigenous Bradyrhizobium japonicum , soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) nodulation depends upon the number of rhizobia applied with the inoculum. This field study reports the effect of different rates of applied rhizobia on nodulation, dry matter and nitrogen content in soybean in a Mediterranean soil lacking B. japonicum.
Treatments included six rates of B. japonicum , ranging from 2.5 × 10⁴ to 6.075 × 10⁶ rhizobia cells per seed applied to the seed as peat inoculant at planting, 100 kg N ha⁻¹ and an uninoculated control. The experiment was conducted in an Entisol soil. Regression analysis showed linear relationship between the rate of applied rhizobia and the number of the nodules per plant or the dry weight per nodule. In early stages of development (32 and 68 days after planting) plant dry weight was not affected by inoculation rate. At harvest a rate of 7.5 × 10⁴ rhizobia cells per seed was necessary for maximum total and stover dry weight. A higher rate, 6.75 × 10⁵ rhizobia cells per seed, was required to obtain maximum grain yield, total N content in plant tops and grain N content. Grain percentage N was increased up to 2.025 × 10⁶ rhizobia cells per seed. Nitrogen application increased grain yield, total N content and grain N content at the same level as the lower inoculation rate.     

Soybean Genotypic Variation for Nitrogen Fixation

Eighteen soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr) cultivars from maturity groups V and VI were screened with two Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains (USDA 110 and TAL 378) in the greenhouse to determine N₂ fixation (C₂H_2: reduction) rates. Antibiotic resistant markers were used for observing nodule occupancy. Cultivars L.-76-0132, PI 159319, Hoberland, Lee, PI 22173 and Centennial showed high nitrogenase activity of 6.25, 5.54, 17.43, 4.73, 6.94, and 4.81 μM C₂H₄/Pl/hr, respectively. Cultivars PI417419, PI 230978, Ogden , and FC 31665 showed low nitrogenase activity of 1.51, 0.80, 0.62 and 0.94 μM C₂H₄/Pl/hr, respectively. The data from this screening experiment suggest that the N₂ fixation varied among genotypes and all the nodules were occupied by the inoculated strains only. Rhizobial strain effect was observed among soybean cultivars (MGVI).

Identification and crop performance of acid sulfate soil-tolerant rice varieties

The present study aims to: 1) identify acid sulfate soil (ASS)-tolerant rice varieties from the genetic stock of Korean rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties under ASS conditions; 2) to evaluate their yield performance, and elucidate the physiological mechanism for ASS tolerance with the identified tolerant varieties. Two hundred sixty-six rice varieties were screened for ASS tolerance, and we identified two japonica-indica hybrid varieties, Geumgang (GG) and Pungsan (PS), as having high tolerance under ASS paddy conditions (pH 3). We first conducted a yield trial of GG and PS grown in Wagner pots to determine their potential yields under ASS conditions. A yield trial under paddy field condition followed. In the pot experiment, the ASS-tolerant varieties, GG and PS, showed significantly higher yields than PT-1, which is a local reference variety in mildly improved soil pH conditions (pH 4.1–4.6). Al and Fe content in GG and PS were significantly lower than that of PT-1, so there might be some mechanism that inhibits the absorption of toxic metal ions in the tolerant varieties. In the paddy conditions, the grain yields more than 5 t ha⁻¹ of the two tolerant varieties under mildly improved soil pH condition were significantly higher than PT-1. Dry matter weights of above ground parts also showed the same trend as grain yield. The study demonstrated that the ASS-tolerant japonica-indica rice varieties with high yielding potential could contribute to the improvement of rice yield in ASS regions, and will be good materials for the development of acid soil-tolerant rice varieties.     

Effect of Deep Placement of N Fertilizers and Different Inoculation Methods of Bradyrhizobia on Growth,N2 Fixation Activity and N Absorption Rate of Field‐grown Soybean Plants

The effects of deep placement (supplied at 20 cm depth from soil surface below plants) of 100 kg N ha^?1 of N fertilizers, urea, coated urea or calcium cyanamide (lime nitrogen) on the growth, nitrogen fixation activity, nitrogen absorption rate and seed yield of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) plants were examined by comparing them with control plots without deep placement of N fertilizer in sandy dune field. In addition, three different inoculation methods of bradyrhizobia were used for each N treatment: (1) transplantation of 10‐day‐old seedling in a paper pot with vermiculite inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110, (2) direct transplantation of inoculated 10‐day‐old seedlings, and (3) transplantation of 10‐day‐old seedlings in a non‐inoculated paper pot. The deep placement of N fertilizers, especially calcium cyanamide and coated urea, markedly increased the growth and total N accumulation in shoot, roots and nodules, which resulted in an increase in seed yield. Daily N₂ fixation activity and N absorption rate were estimated by relative abundance of ureide‐N analysed from the concentration of N constituents (ureide‐N, amide‐N and nitrate‐N) in root bleeding xylem sap and increase in total N accumulation in whole plants at R1, R3, R5 and R7 stages. The total amount of N₂ fixation was about 50 % higher in the plants with calcium cyanamide and coated urea deep placements compared with control plants. Deep placement of slow release fertilizers kept nodule dry weight higher in the maturing stage of seed, possibly through abundant supply of photoassimilate to the nodules by supporting leaf area and activity until late reproductive stages. The results indicate that deep placement of calcium cyanamide or coated urea enhances N₂ fixation activity, which ultimately increases the seed yield. The promotive effect was observed with the seedlings transplanted in paper pot with inoculum of bradyrhizobia within any treatments, although nodulation by indigenous rhizobia was observed in the plants transplanted with non‐inoculated paper pot.     

Ureide essay to assess N<Subscript>2</Subscript>-fixation abilities of soybean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Glycine max</Emphasis>) genotypes under different <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bradyrhizobium</Emphasis> strains

The high protein content of soybean (Glycine max) seeds results in high nitrogen demand, causing a huge nitrogen uptake during plant growth. As a legume crop, soybean can fix atmospheric N through symbiotic associations with Bradyrhizobia and perform well in African nitrogen poor soils. This study aimed at establishing the ability of promiscuous soybean genotypes to fix nitrogen and devise the relationship between nodule scores and amount of nitrogen fixed. Twelve soybean genotypes were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum Strain USDA 110 (specific) and Bradyrhizobium sp. Strain USDA 3456 (native) and raised in pots in a greenhouse. At the R3.5 growth stage, nodules were scored and xylem sap was extracted, which xylem sap was used to carry out ureide, amino-N, and nitrates assays. The relative abundance of ureide was used to devise the proportion of nitrogen fixed by each genotype. The proportion of nitrogen derived from atmospheric N2 (Ndfa) ranged from 47.9 to 78.8% under USDA 3456 and from 36.7 to 78.7% under USDA 110. A strong correlation was found between nodule scores, especially nodules’ effectiveness, and Ndfa. The genotypes Wondersoya (78.8%), Maksoy 2N (78.4%), Namsoy 3 (78.3%), and Maksoy 3N (75.7%) had high nitrogen-fixing ability in response to USDA 3456. Promiscuous soybean genotypes can fix nitrogen equally under both native and specific Bradyrhizobium types. Nodules’ effectiveness can be a good predictor of biological nitrogen fixation. This study highlighted that crop improvement to boost soybean production in Africa should target promiscuous varieties for better yield with less inputs.

磷素对不同大豆品种膳食纤维含量的影响

此试验主要研究不同磷素水平对不同大豆品种膳食纤维含量的影响,探索不同基因型大豆品种最佳施磷水平,以期提高大豆膳食纤维的含量,改善其品质。选用‘黑农48’（高蛋白品种）、‘黑农37’（中间型品种）、‘黑农44’（高油品种）3个大豆品种作为试验材料。采用盆栽,在每kg土壤施纯N和K2O各为0.033 g基础上,设P1、P2、P3、P4 4个P处理（即每kg土壤分别施纯P2O5 0、0.033、0.067、0.100 g）。采用酶-重量法测定了不同大豆品种总膳食纤维的含量。同一品种P3处理大豆总膳食纤维含量显著高于P1、P2、P4处理,‘黑农37’、‘黑农44’、‘黑农48’3个大豆品种P3处理总膳食纤维含量分别比对照组增加6.45%、4.86%、7.65%,不同品种同一处理都是‘黑农44’总膳食纤维含量最高。3个大豆品种总膳食纤维含量在品种间和施磷处理间差异显著,12个处理组合中‘黑农44’P3处理总膳食纤维含量最高。施磷对3个大豆品种总膳食纤维含量有影响,适宜的施磷量有利于提高大豆总膳食纤维的含量。     

Evaluation of Rhizobium mdiloti Strains Isolated from Indigenous Populations in Northern Greece

Eight different Rhizobium meliloti strains (designated as strains 3, 6, 8, 15, 17, 18, 19 and 22) were isolated from fields cultivated with alfalfa. The growth characteristics of the isolated strains under different NaCl concentrations were investigated. Strains 15 and 22 showed marked tolerance to high NaCl concentration.
Symbiosis of one alfalfa variety ( Medicago sativa cv. Ipati ) inoculated with these strains showed marked differences in nitrogen fixing characteristics (nodule number, dry weight and total nitrogen content). Strains 8, 15 and 22 demonstrated the best performance with respect to all characteristics examined.
The supply of low levels of nitrate to inoculated alfalfa plants affected all the nitrogen fixing characteristics. Nodule number per plant decreased and the ranking of the different strains with respect to nodule number was altered. Dry weight was significantly increased by the supply of the nitrate, even in the case of symbioses with the highly effective strains 8, 15 and 22. Total nitrogen content was increased by the supply of nitrate. This increase was higher in plants inoculated with the less effective strains.     

白浆土大豆不同群体结构对产量及其产量性状的影响

为了寻求白浆土大豆最佳群体结构,提高白浆土大豆单产水平,采用不同基因型品种、不同种植行距、不同种植密度3因素3水平正交试验（正交表采用L9(34)）,对白浆土大豆不同群体结构对大豆产量及其产量性状的影响进行研究。结果表明：品种（F=43.63>F0.01=18.00）和密度（F=18.03>F0.01=18.00）均达到极显著水平,行距（F=9.28>F0.05=6.94）达到显著水平,品种、密度和行距三因素与产量关系密切,各因素以选用半矮秆品种‘合农60’、密度55株/m2、行距17 cm组合群体产量最高,产量性状表现最佳。因此,采用矮秆品种,增加密度,缩小行距是目前提高大豆产量的重要途径。     

硫素对不同基因型大豆球蛋白组成及含量的影响

为了探讨施硫量对不同基因型大豆7S和11S球蛋白亚基组成及含量的影响,寻找不同基因型大豆品种最佳施硫水平,以期提高大豆籽粒球蛋白的含量,改善期品质。选用在黑龙江省种植面积较大的‘黑农48’（高蛋白）、‘黑农37’（中间型）和‘黑农44’（高油）3种大豆作为试验材料。采用盆栽种植,每个品种设S1、S2、S3、S4 4个S处理（即每千克土壤分别施单质硫0、0.02、0.04、0.06 g）。采用SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳方法,对成熟大豆籽粒球蛋白亚基组成和含量2个指标进行研究。结果表明：在3个大豆品种中,7S球蛋白由α′、α、γ、β 4个亚基组成;11S球蛋白由酸性亚基和碱性亚基组成;各种亚基分子量在品种间的差异不显著。同一品种不同处理中均以S3水平下蛋白含量最高,对不同品种施用硫肥时,以高油品种提高球蛋白含量效果显著。施用硫肥对3个大豆品种的7S和11S球蛋白各种亚基组成都没有影响,对分子量的大小影响很小。施用硫肥对3个大豆品种中的7S和11S球蛋白和亚基含量有显著影响,适宜的施用硫肥有利于提高各品种球蛋白和亚基的含量。
