Book Synopsis Investigation of Iron-deficiency Chlorosis in Soybean by : Dirk Victor Charlson
Download or read book Investigation of Iron-deficiency Chlorosis in Soybean written by Dirk Victor Charlson and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iron-Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) causes yield losses in soybean and other crop species as a result of the plant's inability to efficiently acquire iron from calcareous soils. Although plants differ in their response to iron deficiency and IDC resistance has been improved in soybean, the biology of IDC is not well understood. We undertook an interdisciplinary approach towards increasing our knowledge of IDC resistance and iron acquisition strategies in higher plants. Firstly, we examined the usefulness of molecular markers to improve breeding efficiency for IDC resistance in soybean. After examining Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers genetically linked to previously identified quantitative trait loci for IDC resistance in a soybean breeding population, we determined that SSR marker Satt481 may improve selection efficiency 2.6-fold and reduce the evaluation costs by 70% relative to traditional breeding approaches. Secondly, we investigated the potential relationship of IDC with Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) and calcareous soil properties. Using two soybean breeding populations and fourteen soybean genotypes grown on calcareous soils infested with Heterodera glycines and concurrent greenhouse studies, we were not able to establish a consistent relationship between IDC-related chlorosis and SCN. However, an increase in foliar chlorosis in SCN-susceptible genotypes was associated with a decrease in SCN reproduction, and SCN-resistant genotypes were more susceptible to IDC during greenhouse evaluation relative to evaluation on SCN-infested calcareous soils. In addition, calcareous soil properties predicted foliar chlorosis in only one breeding population evaluated on SCN-infested soils during one year. Lastly, we examined the evolution of Strategy I and II mechanisms for iron acquisition in higher plants. The phylogenetic distribution in plants of nine iron acquisition-related genes for both strategies was determined using Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) from eleven plant species (one gymnosperm, five dicots, and five grasses). Our results suggested gene conservation across strategies and Strategy II was more recently developed than Strategy I in higher plants. In our studies, we have further demonstrated the complexity of IDC, while increasing knowledge on the the biology of IDC and iron acquisition using an interdisciplinary approach involving methodologies in classical and molecular genetics, plant pathology, and soil science.

Book Synopsis Iron Nutrition and Interactions in Plants by : Y. Chen
Download or read book Iron Nutrition and Interactions in Plants written by Y. Chen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many agricultural crops worldwide, especially in semi-arid climates, suffer from iron deficiencies. Among plants sensitive to iron deficiency are apples, avocado, bananas, barley, beans, citrus, cotton, grapes, peanuts, pecans, potatoes, sorghum, soybeans, and numerous ornamental plants. Deficiencies are usually recognized by chlorotic, in new leaves and are typically found among sensitive crops grown in calcareous or yellowed, interveinal areas soils which cover over 30% of the earth's land surface. Iron deficiency may lead, in extreme cases, to complete crop failure. In intensive agriculture on calcareous soils, iron often becomes a major limiting nutrient for optimal crop production, thus, correction of iron deficiency is required. Various chemicals and practices are available. They are, however, costly and do not always result in a complete remedy of the deficiency. Crucial questions relative to the cost-benefit equation such as the recovery rate of plants and the long-term fertilizing effect have not yet been resolved. The complexity of iron nutrition problems requires an understanding of the chemistry of iron oxides in soils, of the chemistry of both natural and synthetic chelates, of rhizosphere microbiology and biochemistry, and of the physiological involvement of the plant in iron uptake and transport.

Book Synopsis Breeding Field Crops by : John M. Poehlman
Download or read book Breeding Field Crops written by John M. Poehlman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While preparing the first edition of this textbook I attended an extension short course on writing agricultural publications. The message I remember was "select your audience and write to it. " There has never been any doubt about the audience for which this textbook was written, the introductory course in crop breeding. In addition, it has become a widely used reference for the graduate plant-breeding student and the practicing plant breeder. In its prepa ration, particular attention has been given to advances in plant-breeding theo ry and their utility in plant-breeding practice. The blend of the theoretical with the practical has set this book apart from other plant-breeding textbooks. The basic structure and the objectives of the earlier editions remain un changed. These objectives are (1) to review essential features of plant re production, Mendelian genetic principles, and related genetic developments applicable in plant-breeding practice; (2) to describe and evaluate established and new plant-breeding procedures and techniques, and (3) to discuss plant breeding objectives with emphasis on the importance of proper choice of objec tive for achieving success in variety development. Because plant-breeding activities are normally organized around specific crops, there are chapters describing breeding procedures and objectives for the major crop plants; the crops were chosen for their economic importance or diversity in breeding sys tems. These chapters provide a broad overview of the kinds of problems with which the breeder must cope.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis in Soybeans (Glycine Max) by : Kyle J. Kocak
Download or read book Evaluation of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis in Soybeans (Glycine Max) written by Kyle J. Kocak and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iron is an important micronutrient required for healthy plant growth. Significant yield reductions can result if the plant does not have proper levels of iron to maintain certain cellular functions. Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a major abiotic stress that affects soybeans grown on high-pH calcareous soils, primarily in the North Central region of the USA (Hansen et al., 2003). The degree of chlorosis depends on many aspects such as soil pH, temperature, and free carbonate levels. This research project studied the genetic control of IDC using conventional breeding and biotechnology methods. Specifically, three studies were conducted to gain a comprehensive view of genetic control of IDC in soybean to enhance development of IDC tolerant soybean cultivars for soybean producers, by i) genomic analysis of a long-term recurrent selection program, ii) mapping of QTLs using a recombinant inbred line population, and iii) phenotypic characterization of the Arabidopsis FRO2 gene on calcareous soils in a soybean background.

Book Synopsis Iron Nutrition in Soils and Plants by : Javier Abadía
Download or read book Iron Nutrition in Soils and Plants written by Javier Abadía and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iron is a major constituent of the earth crust. However, under alkaline conditions commonly found in arid and semi-arid environments iron becomes unavailable to plants. When plants are affected by a shortage of iron their leaves become yellow (chlorotic), and both plant growth and crop yield are reduced. The roots of plants affected by iron deficiency may develop a series of responses directed to improve iron uptake, such as increased proton excretion and iron reduction capabilities or excretion of iron chela tors called siderophores. Iron deficiency affects major crops worldwide, including some of major economic importance such as fruit trees and others. Correction of iron deficiency is usually implemented through costly application of synthetic chelates. Since these correction methods are very expensive, the competitivity of farmers is often reduced and iron deficiency may become a limiting factor for the maintenance, introduction or expansion of some crops. In spite of the many years devoted to the study of iron deficiency, the knowledge of iron deficiency in soils and plants is still fragmentary in many aspects. We have only incomplete information on the processes at the molecular level that make some plant species and cultivars unable to take and utilize iron from the soil, whereas other plants grow satisfactorily under the same conditions.
