چکیده

Two soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivars, Shin-Tanbakuro and Midori, were grown under mild water stress conditions for 11 days at the vegetative growth stage in order to examine the effect of drought stress on plant biomass production, photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and photoassimilate translocation along with changes in carbohydrates and nitrogen. Relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), plant growth rate (GR) and relative leaf area expansion rate (RLER) were decreased by drought and this reduction was greater in cultivar Shin-Tanbakuro than in Modori. Photosynthetic gas exchange (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and transpiration rate (E) in both cultivars were severely decreased by drought; however, the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR) were not affected by drought. Drought stress did not affect the export of C-labelled photosynthate from leaves to stem and roots. Drought decreased the starch concentration in leaves of both cultivars, but the soluble sugar concentration increased more in Midori than in Shin-Tanbakuro. The nitrogen accumulation in plants was decreased by drought in both cultivars, but the reduction in N accumulation in leaves and roots was higher in Shin-Tanbakuro. Results suggested that Midori is more tolerant to drought stress than Shin-Tanbakuro by virtue of greater nitrogen uptake and supply to developing leaves in improving growth.

THE EFFECT OF DROUGHT STRESS ON GROWTH, PHOTOSYNTHETIC FACTORS, CONTENT OF PROTEIN, Na AND K CONTENT IN TWO CULTIVARS OF SOYBEAN

In this research, the response of shoot and root of two cultivars of soybean (Glycine max L. cvs Gorgan 3 & Williams) to mild and severe drought was evaluated in pot. Two weeks after of planting, three irrigation treatments including every day (as control), once in three (as mild stress) and five days (as severe stress) were used. The results showed that, stem dry weight, stem and root length, ...

Impact of sea salt stress on growth and some physiological attributes of some soybean (Glycine Max L.) varieties.

The impact of three levels of sea salt (0.0, 8.0, and 16.0 mS/cm2) on six varieties of soybean (Crawford, G21, G22, G35, G82, and G83) was studied. Growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, soluble protein, free amino acids, free proline, and protein profile of soybean varieties were investigated under sea salt stress. Results of this study showed a considerable decrease in grow...

Assessment of seed storage protein composition of six Iranian adopted soybean cultivars [Glycine max (L.) Merrill.]

Seed protein quality is an important topic in the production of soybean. The quality of soybean proteins is limited by anti-nutrient proteins and low levels of essential sulfur amino acids. In this study, protein content and solubility of six cultivars were evaluated and seed storage proteins were analyzed using SDS-PAGE and scanning densitometry. The results showed that seed storage protein ba...

Photosynthate Partitioning into Starch in Soybean Leaves: I. Effects of Photoperiod versus Photosynthetic Period Duration.

Photosynthesis, photosynthate partitioning into foliar starch, and translocation were investigated in soybean plants (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Amsoy 71), grown under different photoperiods and photosynthetic periods to determine the controls of leaf starch accumulation. Starch accumulation rates in soybean leaves were inversely related to the length of the daily photosynthetic period under wh...
