Negative synergistic effects of drought and heat during flowering and seed setting in soybean

Environmental and Experimental Botany, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 222, P. 105769 - 105769

Published: April 7, 2024

Rising intense heat waves combined with lower precipitations are the new norms of current global scenarios. These altered climatic conditions negatively impact soybean yield potential and quality. Ten cultivars were subjected to four different growing conditions: control, drought, heat, drought understand physiological, yield, molecular changes. Stomatal conductance was reduced by 62% 10% under respectively. This reduction further exacerbated 93% when exposed stress. The highest canopy temperature recorded at +8 oC combinatorial treatment, whereas exhibited +5.4 +2 oC, Furthermore, stress displayed a more pronounced negative on greenness-associated vegetative index; gene expression analysis corroborated these findings. Each one degree Celsius increase in during flowering seed-filling seed weight ~7% ~4% without protein increased oil showed converse trend stresses. Most physiological traits no significant correlations between control individual or suggests that selecting crops for tolerance may not be appropriate based nonstress performance. Thus, incorporating stress-resilient into elite could significantly boost production hot dry conditions.

Aqueous extraction of tomato seed oil using combination of ohmic heating and microwave heating as pretreatment

Food Physics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1, P. 100018 - 100018

Published: July 11, 2024

This study aimed to investigate the effect of ohmic (OH) and microwave heating (MH) pre-treatments on aqueous extraction tomato seed oil. As these thermal techniques disrupt cell structure resulting in enhanced leaching, extractability was expected be increased. Aqueous phase pretreated with OH (14 V/cm), MH (540 W) combination (OH+MH) compare oil extractability. Physiochemical parameters have been determined for extracted showing significant differences (p <0.01). The more OH+MH comparing separately. SEM images treated samples showed cellular damage high recovery. GCMS analysis disclosed presence linoleic acid oleic as major contributors (52.15 %; 27.74 %) compared control (42.05 12.14 %). Therefore, is a novel green approach improving from seeds because it combines efficient electrical energy, reducing processing time energy consumption while minimizing use chemical solvents. research conducted utilize waste industry. having an adequate amount process done using water solvent. can probably eliminating problem associated organic solvents e.g. hexane causing environmental problem, but lower yield overcome help pretreatment process. emerging technologies namely were used enhance These advantages terms least utilization, rapid time, solvent free quality helps maximize utilization confer worthwhile byproduct at large-scale level.

Rapid Development of Lipoxygenase‐2 Free Vegetable Soybean Genotypes (Glycine max (L.) Merill) Through Molecular Breeding Under Controlled Environment

Plant Breeding, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 12, 2025

ABSTRACT Vegetable soybean, or edamame, renowned for its taste and nutritional benefits, faces a challenge in consumer preference due to beany flavour produced primarily by the gene Lox2 . The development of lipoxygenase‐2 free vegetable soybeans through conventional breeding approaches is time‐consuming. In this study, we attempted eliminate from soybean variety Swarna Vasundhara replacing allele with an alternative allele, that is, lox2 molecular approach under controlled environmental conditions. was obtained seed‐type genotype PI596540. hybrids were confirmed markers crossed back Vasundhara. foreground selection done ‐specific marker, while background 159 SSR markers. BC 1 F plants, recovery recurrent parent genome ranged 73.4% 83.02%. Similarly, 2 , 94.01%–97.2%. recombinant generation found plants 96.23%–98.74% genome. environments expedited introgression lines within 24 months. biochemical analysis seeds activity identified 11 introgressed similar as donor parent, which further colorimetric test. field performance some these comparable terms yield other morphological traits. would contribute towards popularizing among consumers.

Folate deficiency is a significant global health issue that affects millions of people and causes severe adverse effects. Major staple crops, which provide amounts calories, often contain inadequate folate levels. Synthetic fortification has contributed to reduction in low-folate populations, but more sustainable solution needed. Biofortification, or the breeding crops naturally increase their nutrient content, promising alternative. Soybean highly nutritious crop good candidate for biofortification. However, studies on have been limited due challenges analysis. The development sensitive selective tools, reference materials, stability vitamers facilitated improved determination methods.
