Combined Effects of Drought and Phosphorous Deficiency on Physiological and Biochemical Indices of Soybean Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
An outdoor pot experiment was carried out to determine the combined effect of water stress and phosphorous (P) deficiency in soil on physiological and biochemical indices of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). The soil used was collected at a depth of 10 -30 cm of a long-term field experiment with a suboptimal P supply (Pdl 30 mg/kg soil). It was classified as loamy sand. Water treatments included two levels of water supply 70% (control) and 30 % (drought) of soil water holding capacity and were applied during eight weeks. The results revealed that water deficit induced inhibition of growth processes, accompanied by a significant reduction of the plant height and shoot biomass, as well as P, K, Ca, Mg, and N uptake by plants. We also found a decrease in the activities of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, and glycolate oxidase in leaves of the stressed plants. On the other hand, proline was accumulated in the leaves under water and P deficiency. Similarly, the activities of acid phosphate (AcP), alkaline phosphatise (AlP), and phosphodiesterase (PDE) in leaves were higher under P and water stress conditions. The average values of AcP for both water treatments were about 4 times higher than those of AlP and PDE. These data highlighted the important role of enzymes for plants under stress conditions.

ZnO affects soybean grain yield, oil quantity and quality and leaf antioxidant activity in drought stress conditions
Lack of available water in arid and semi-arid regions has a negative effect on the production of soybean (Glycine max L.). Nano zinc chelate (ZnO) has the potential to alleviate this issue through overcoming zinc deficiency and thereby improve plant function. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of ZnO application on soybean in drought stress conditions, a split-plot experiment based on ran...

It emerged recently that there is an inter-relationship between drought and Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation in plant responses, in that both stresses provoke an oxidative burst. The objective of the present investigation was to study the effect of drought stress, UV-B radiation and the combined effects of UV-B and drought stresses on two cultivars of gourd seedling. The gourd plants were grown w...

Lippia citriodora H.B.K. is a valuable medicinal plant of Verbenaceae family. This study was calculated to evaluate potential role of salicylic acid (SA) in diminish the harmful effects of drought stress on L. citriodora plants. SA (0.5 and 1 mM) was used to L. citriodora plants grown under stressed (5, 10, 15 and 20% PEG) and unstressed conditions. Fresh weight (FW) and relative water content ...

Drought stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production and salicylic acid (SA) has been reported to minimize the harmful effects of many stresses including drought. In this study, salicylic acid was sprayed on the leaves of Brassica napus at the 4-leaf stage at concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM for two days. Plants were subjected to drought stress (withholding water for five...
