Aneuploids from a Desynaptic Mutant in Soybeans (<i>Glycine max</i> (L.) Merr.)

Impact of water stress on radiation interception and radiation use efficiency of Soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr.) in Nigeria

Background Under field conditions, the development of crops depends on capacity of the canopy to intercept incident radiation and convert it into new biomass (Gifford et al. 1984). The amount of incident radiation intercepted depends on the leaf area index (LAI) and canopy orientation in space. The fraction of the incident photosynthetically active radiation (IPAR) that is absorbed by a canopy ...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr].

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...

A chlorophyll a/b-binding protein gene from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.).

Effect of replacement ratios on plant traits and seed quality properties in intercropping of soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr) and niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.)

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the competition of soybean intercropped with niger in different planting ratios using randomized complete block design with four replications at Sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university in 2018 and 2019. The intercropping ratios were 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 (soybean:niger, respectively) using the replacement series. R...

Ethyl Methane Sulphonate Induced Desynaptic Variants in Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague)

Synaptic mutants are the subject of a special concern to cytologists and geneticists as they hold the variability in their recombination pattern. Seeds of Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague (ajwain) were treated with Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) solution at 3 different concentrations viz. 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% for 5 h, prepared in potassium phosphate buffer with 7.0 pH. During meiotic observation ...
