Future area expansion outweighs increasing drought risk for soybean in Europe

Global Change Biology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 29(5), С. 1340 - 1358

Опубликована: Дек. 16, 2022

The European Union is highly dependent on soybean imports from overseas to meet its protein demands. Individual Member States have been quick declare self-sufficiency targets for plant-based proteins, but detailed strategies are still lacking. Rising global temperatures painted an image of a bright future production in Europe, emerging climatic risks such as drought so far not included any those outlooks. Here, we present simulations and the most prominent risk factors across Europe using ensemble climate growth models. Projections suggest substantial increase potential area productivity Central while southern would become increasingly supplementary irrigation. Average rise by 8.3% (RCP 4.5) 8.7% 8.5) result improved growing conditions (plant physiology benefiting rising temperature CO2 levels) farmers adapting them cultivars with longer phenological cycles. Suitable 31.4% 37.7% mid-century, contributing considerably more than closing gap Europe. While wet at harvest incidental cold spells current key challenges extending production, models data analysis anticipate that heat will dominant limitations future. Breeding heat-tolerant water-efficient genotypes needed further improve adaptation changing conditions.

Responses of Soybean to Selected Abiotic Stresses—Photoperiod, Temperature and Water

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1), С. 146 - 146

Опубликована: Янв. 5, 2023

The sharp increase in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) acreage the late 20th century and early 21st is due to demand for edible oil feed protein. However, a limiting factor extent of cultivation its high heat requirements response photoperiod. Most varieties are short-day plants generally best-yielding genotypes. At higher latitudes (longer day length), there delay occurrence subsequent developmental stages problems with plant maturation before onset autumn frost. Global warming allows range warm-season species (including soya) be shifted; however, periodic droughts very temperatures limit crop production. Adverse weather events result reduction seed yield around 30%. Environmental stresses related length, low water shortage or excess have greatest impact on yields, as we no influence them can only, limited extent, offset their negative effects. This paper reviews recent world literature how responds these stress factors. results our own research were also used.

Mapping potential conflicts between global agriculture and terrestrial conservation

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 120(23)

Опубликована: Май 30, 2023

Demand for food products, often from international trade, has brought agricultural land use into direct competition with biodiversity. Where these potential conflicts occur and which consumers are responsible is poorly understood. By combining conservation priority (CP) maps trade data, we estimate current risk hotspots driven by 197 countries across 48 products. Globally, a third of production occurs in sites high CP (CP > 0.75, max = 1.0). While cattle, maize, rice, soybean pose the greatest threat to very high-CP sites, other low-conservation products (e.g., sugar beet, pearl millet, sunflower) currently less likely be grown agriculture–conservation conflict. Our analysis suggests that commodity can cause dissimilar threats different regions. Accordingly, some risks posed depend on their demand sourcing patterns commodities. spatial analyses identify between agriculture high-conservation value (i.e., 0.5° resolution, or ~367 3,077km 2 , grid cells containing both high-biodiversity habitat), thereby providing additional information could help prioritize activities safeguard biodiversity individual globally. A web-based GIS tool at https://agriculture.spatialfootprint.com/biodiversity/ systematically visualizes results our analyses.

In vitro DIAAS of Swiss soybean cultivars using the INFOGEST model: Increase in protein quality from soybean to soymilk and tofu

Food Research International, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 178, С. 113947 - 113947

Опубликована: Янв. 4, 2024

To support the transition towards more sustainable and healthy diets, viable alternatives to foods of animal origin need be identified. Many plant-based protein sources are currently marketed with claims minimal environmental impact, but very limited consideration has been given their quality bioavailable mineral content considering fact that animal-based typically primary source both in Western diets. In this study, traditionally consumed soy (cooked soybeans, soymilk, tofu) from different Swiss soybean cultivars were nutritionally characterized vitro digestibility individual amino acids total assessed using an model based on static INFOGEST protocol; was evaluated digestible indispensable acid score (DIAAS). The results reveal increase across traditional food production value chain: 52.1–62.7% for cooked 84.1–90.6% 94.9–98.4% tofu. Protein quality, determined recommended pattern 0.5 3 years old, "low" (no claim) soybeans (DIAAS < 60), while soymilk = 78–88) tofu products 79–91) similar "good" considerably higher DIAAS values than those (P 0.001). iron zinc contents substantial, high molar ratios phytic (PA) (PA/Fe; > 8) PA (PA/Zn; 15) indicate a possible strong inhibition bioavailability. Based results, would suitable foods, future efforts should focus optimizing preparation overcome negative effects plant tissue matrix as well processing steps reduce absorption inhibiting substances.

Soybean is among the most significant crops in world. Vegetable oil and protein meal both benefit from use of soybean seeds. output has increased at greatest percentage rate any major crop during 1970s. The projected to be cultivated on 6% world's arable land. recent surge line with rising demand for meal. Since soybeans are one world, more study being done learn about how they produced under various circumstances, including stress. Information pace production throughout globe may utilized enhance mitigate variables like stressors that have a negative impact yield. productivity significantly impacted by action soil bacteria. Only few nations, United States, Brazil, Argentina, China, India, account majority output. For managerial ecological reasons, it crucial deeper grasp vast range farming techniques used crops. We will also talk potential relationship between improved management microbial inocula conditions. Gaining comprehension plant interactions managing comprehending ecology this crop. Due our direct indirect reliance food goods, yield reductions beyond present levels an security. Additionally, provides resources solve global concerns via future due its high nutritional value versatility.

Genome editing, an opportunity to revive soybean cultivation in Europe

The Plant Journal, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 121(4)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

SUMMARY Soybean ( Glycine max Merr.) is the world's most important oilseed crop and its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen makes it a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture. Despite importance, Europe relies heavily on imports, leading environmental economic vulnerabilities. To address these challenges, European Union has implemented policies boost local soybean production, emphasizing practices reduced dependency imports. However, conventional breeding methods are time‐consuming may not keep pace with rapid consumer habit changes. Genome‐editing technologies, such as CRISPR‐Cas, offer precise efficient tools for developing varieties tailored conditions. These technologies can enhance traits related precocity, stress responses, yield quality that essential adapting climate change promoting ecological sustainability. This review explores integration genome editing (GE) in breeding, highlighting potential advancing agroecological transition Europe. By having clear regulation enhancing efforts, GE significantly contribute resilient varieties, fostering competitive environmentally friendly
