INFLUENCE OF SOYBEAN SEED MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE RESPONSE TO SEED TREATMENT IN SOYBEAN

Impact of Storage Fungi on Soybean Seed Deterioration in Different Storage Conditions and Seed Moisture Content

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.65.11.1. 1578.1585 Extended Abstract Introduction: Understanding the complex characteristics that control the life span of the seed has ecological, agricultural and economic importance. Inappropriate storage conditions after harvesting destroy a large part of annual yield partly due to microbial activity in the storage. Damage from storage fungi varies based ...

Soybean Response to Drought and Seed Inoculation

Drought is one of the most important factors that limits N fixation, growth and yield of soybean. 2 The aim of this study was to determine the effects of water stress, starter N application and seed inoculation on yield and yield components of soybean (cv. Williams). The experiment was conducted in 2010 at the Islamshahr town that located in 12 km of South-west of Tehran, the capital of Iran. T...

Soybean Seed Health

Fig. 3. Wrinkled, white, moldy-appearing seed infected by Phomopsis spp. More than 30 fungi are seed-borne on soybeans. Some, such as Phomopsis spp., the cause of pod and stem blight disease, can severely reduce seed viability (fi g. 1). Others cause quality problems, such as purple seed stain, caused by Cercospora kikuchii, but have less severe effects on viability. However, most fungi that ar...

Soybean seed proteome rebalancing

The soybean seed's protein content and composition are regulated by both genetics and physiology. Overt seed protein content is specified by the genotype's genetic framework and is selectable as a breeding trait. Within the genotype-specified protein content phenotype soybeans have the capacity to rebalance protein composition to create differing proteomes. Soybeans possess a relatively standar...
