... The 15N natural abundance technique is one of those most easily applied ‘on farm’ to evaluate the contribution of biological N2 fixation (BNF) to legume crops. When proportional BNF inputs are high, the accuracy of this technique is highly dependent on an accurate estimate of the 15N abundance of the N derived from N2 fixation (the ‘B’ value). The objective of this study was to determine the influ ...
... Equine producers frequently utilize legumes, such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and perennial peanut (Arachis glabrata), as forages in their feeding programs. Due to challenges related to production and shipping in the Southeast, producers may be looking for other viable legume options to reduce feeding costs. Soybean (Glycine max L.) may prove to be a useful option. The current study evaluated 3 f ...

... Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] yields often decline as seed protein levels increase, but the processes responsible are not clearly understood. We compared dry matter and N accumulation by individual seeds of three high protein genotypes (K 1431, KS 4402sp, NE 3396) and three commercial cultivars (Pennyrile, Flyer, Hutcheson) in the field near Lexington, KY (38° 01′ N lat; 84° 35′ W long) for 3 ...
... To circumvent drought conditions persisting during seed fill in the mid-south U.S. soybean production region, researchers have developed the early soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production system (ESPS), which entails early planting of short-season varieties. Because soybean supplies a preponderance of the world's protein and oil and consumption of soy-based foods has been associated with multip ...
... Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seeds are rich in protein, most of which is contributed by the major storage proteins glycinin (11S globulin) and beta-conglycinin (7S globulin). Null mutations for each of the subunits of these storage proteins were integrated by crossbreeding to yield a soybean line that lacks both glycinin and beta-conglycinin components. In spite of the absence of these two maj ...
... MAIN CONCLUSION : Defective cracking frequently occurs in buff-pigmented soybean seed coats, where proanthocyanidins accumulate and lignin is deposited, suggesting that proanthocyanidins and/or lignin may change physical properties and lead to defective cracking. In the seed production of many yellow soybean (Glycine max) cultivars, very low percentages of self-pigmented seeds are commonly found. ...

This study was conducted to determine if two hypernodulating soybean mutants (NOD4 and NODI-3) were capable of increased yield, compared with normal nodulating cultivars Williams 82 and Hobbit 87, and a non-nodulating cheek (NNS). Performance data ...
... Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] protein is a prominent plant‐based protein source worldwide due to its high quality and relatively low cost. A major barrier to the development of high protein cultivars is the negative relationship between seed protein and seed yield. A large effect protein quantitative trait locus (QTL) has been mapped to the same location on chromosome (chr) 15 in several studie ...
... North American soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is derived from a narrow genetic base.

Stable allometric relationships in ontogeny can be used as components of crop models and to estimate plant parameters that are difficult to measure. Our objective was to discover whether stable allometric relations exist ...
... The sensitivity of N₂ fixation to water deficit is related to an increase in leaf ureide concentration, which may be linked to the availability of Mn in the leaves since Mn is a co-factor for one of the enzymes involved in ureide degradation in leaves. The rate of ureide degradation was measured in leaves from soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) grown in pots on limed and non-limed soil. At 75 d after ...

Because light plays such an important role in regulating morphogenesis and it promotes the formation of chlorophyll (Chl), we determined the effect of cytG and Gdld2 (in a cv. Clark background) on the development and some light responses of seedlings. Although cytG ...
... Growth of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] roots into acid subsoils and utilization of subsoil moisture is limited in many soils of the southeastern U. S. because of Al toxicity. Laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to obtain information on tolerance of soybean cultivars which would be helpful in selection of cultivars best adapted to acid subsoils. Root elongation measurements wer ...
... Shallow rooting and susceptibility to drought are believed to be caused, at least in part, by strongly acidic (pH < 5.5, 1:1 soil-water), aluminum (Al)-toxic subsoils. However, this hypothesis has not been clearly confirmed under field conditions. The Al toxicity hypothesis was tested on a map unit of Matawan-Hammonton loam (0-2% slope) on unlimed and limed field plots (pH range 5.1 to 5.8) at Bel ...
... Aluminum (Al), the third most abundant element overall, after silicon and oxygen, is found virtually in all food, air, soil and water. Under acidic conditions, Al is solubilized into [Al(H₂O)₆]³⁺, which is highly toxic to many plant species. Present paper reviewed Al toxicity and tolerance mechanism in agricultural plants with special reference to cereals and legumes. Even at micromolar concentrat ...
... Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils is a global agricultural problem that limits crop productivity through the inhibition of root growth. However, poor management associated with the application of soil acidity amendments such as lime (CaCO₃) in certain crop types can pose a threat to low-input farming practices. Accordingly, it is important to develop appropriate techniques for the management ...

Total phenol and isoflavone contents of large black soybean (LBS) group extracts were higher than that of small black soybean (SBS) group extracts. Genistein contents were higher than daidzein in all groups. In total anthocyanin pig ...
... One cultivar and five experimental lines of Maryland-grown soybeans with improved fatty acid profiles were investigated for their phytochemical and antioxidant properties. Soybean oils were extracted and analyzed for their fatty acid profiles, tocopherols, and carotenoids. Two of the experimental lines were low in α-linolenic acid and another one was low in both α-linolenic and total saturated fat ...
... The aim of the study was to explore the acceptability of 14 species, varieties, and cultivars of grain legumes (Fabales: Fabaceae) to the pea aphid, by investigating the aphid probing behavior using the electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique. Phaseolus coccineus L. ‘Felicia’, Pisum sativum L. ‘Medal’, P. sativum arvense (L.) Poir. ‘Fidelia’ and ‘Hubal’, and Vicia faba L. ‘Dragon’ are highly ...
... Genotype and weather conditions play crucial roles in determining the volume and stability of a soybean yield. The aim of this study was to identify the key meteorological factors affecting the harvest date (model M_HARV) and yield of the soybean variety Augusta (model M_YIELD) using a neural network sensitivity analysis. The dates of the start of flowering and maturity, the yield data, the averag ...
... N-Viro Soil (NVS) is an alkaline-stabilised biosolid that has been shown to suppress Meloidogyne incognita. In separate microplot studies, NVS was applied either alone at different rates (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 dry t ha−1), or in combination with M. incognita-resistant and M. incognita-susceptible cultivars, to different M. incognita initial densities (0, 37 500, 75 000 eggs/microplot). NVS suppressed ...
