In this chapter we describe an Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation method of soybean that utilizes mature half seeds and regeneration from the cotyledonary node region. This method results in fertile transformed soybean plants and transgenic seed in approximately 9 months. Using mature half seeds as starting material has proven to be a reliable method that does not require additional wound...

the essential oil extracted from the epicarp of citrus sinensis exhibited absolute fungitoxicity against soybean’s fungus as alternaria alternate, aspergillus niger, cercospora kikuchii, chaetomium spp., cladosporium cladosporioides, curvularia lunata, fusarium roseum, macrophomina phaseolina, penicillium italicum, phomopsisspp. rhizoctonia solani, and sclerotium rolfsii. it is very difficult t...

an experiment was conducted at assossa agricultural research center (aarc) station during 2008 cropping season in order to study the effects of co-inoculation of bradyrhizobium japonicum (tal-378 and tal-379) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (psb) (pseudomonas spp.), and conventional farmers’ fertilizer level (combined and individual application of 46n kg ha-1 and 46 p2o5 kg ha-1) on nodulat...

and to be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi (Harrison, 1997). Often, nodule formation by a Isoforms of endochitinase in soybean were studied in given bacterial strain is restricted to only a few host plant relation to root symbiosis. Five selected cultivars difgenera, and varieties of a given legume species may differ fering in their nodulation potential were inoculated in nodule fo...

Sulfentrazone has excellent soil activity on many small-seeded broadleaf weeds, however, soybean injury in "eld experiments has been noted under certain environmental conditions. Injury levels in these "eld experiments have appeared to di!er in severity among soybean cultivars. Growth chamber studies were initiated with the objective of examining the suspected di!erences in tolerance among soyb...
