The importance of slow canopy wilting in drought tolerance in soybean

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY, 71(2), 642–652.

By: H. Ye *, L. Song *, W. Schapaugh *, L. Ali *, T. Sinclair n, M. Riar n, R. Raymond *, Y. Li * ...

author keywords: Drought; QTL mapping; slow canopy wilting; soybean; transpiration; water use efficiency
MeSH headings : Droughts; Plant Transpiration; Quantitative Trait Loci; Soybeans / genetics; Soybeans / physiology
TL;DR: Physiological mechanisms of slow canopy wilting in early maturity group soybeans were identified and the underlying QTLs were mapped and confirmed to protect soybean yield under drought in the field. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 journal article

Unraveling the genetic architecture for carbon and nitrogen related traits and leaf hydraulic conductance in soybean using genome-wide association analyses

BMC GENOMICS, 20(1).

By: C. Steketee *, T. Sinclair n, M. Riar n, W. Schapaugh * & Z. Li *

author keywords: Soybean; Glycine max; Drought tolerance; Carbon isotope composition; Nitrogen concentration; Nitrogen isotope composition; Aquaporin; Genome-wide association study (GWAS)
MeSH headings : Aquaporins / antagonists & inhibitors; Carbon / metabolism; Gene Expression Profiling; Genetic Loci / genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study; Nitrogen / metabolism; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Silver Nitrate / pharmacology; Soybeans / genetics; Soybeans / metabolism
TL;DR: The genomic regions and germplasm identified in this study can be used by breeders to understand the genetic architecture for these traits and to improve soybean drought tolerance and may be challenging due to the quantitative nature of these traits. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 review

Limited-transpiration response to high vapor pressure deficit in crop species

[Review of ]. PLANT SCIENCE, 260, 109–118.

By: T. Sinclair n, J. Devi  n, A. Shekoofa n, S. Choudhary *, W. Sadok *, V. Vadez *, M. Riar n, T. Rufty n

author keywords: Aquaporins; Drought; Hydraulic conductivity; Transpiration; Vapor pressure deficit
MeSH headings : Aquaporins / genetics; Aquaporins / metabolism; Droughts; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Leaves / physiology; Plant Transpiration / genetics; Plant Transpiration / physiology; Vapor Pressure
TL;DR: The physiological basis for the limited-transpiration trait as result of low plant hydraulic conductivity, which appears to be related to aquaporin activity is examined, which highlights the challenges and approaches to develop physiological traits contributing directly to plant improvement for water-limited environments.

2016 journal article

Environmental Influences on Growth and Reproduction of Invasive Commelina benghalensis

International Journal of Agronomy, 2016, 1–9.

By: M. Riar n, D. Carley n , C. Zhang n, M. Schroeder-Moreno n , D. Jordan n, T. Webster *, T. Rufty n

TL;DR: Fertility management in highly weathered soils may strongly constrain competitiveness of C. benghalensis and shorter photoperiods will limit vegetative competitiveness later in the growing seasons of most crops, indicating that it will likely cause continual persistence problems in agricultural fields.

2015 journal article

Persistence of limited-transpiration-rate trait in sorghum at high temperature

ENVIRONMENTAL AND EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY, 115, 58–62.

By: M. Riar n, T. Sinclair n & P. Prasad *

author keywords: High temperature; Limited transpiration trait; Silver inhibitor; Sorghum; Vapor pressure deficit
TL;DR: For environments where temperature may commonly reach or exceed 37 °C, sorghum genotypes have been favored that acclimate to the high temperature by losing the TR lim trait, indicating that in conditions in which very high temperatures threaten crop heat stress, those genotypes that lose the TRLim trait at high temperature may be more desirable.

2014 journal article

Persistence of Benghal dayflower (Commelina benghalensis) in sustainable agronomic systems: Potential impacts of hay bale storage, animal digestion, and cultivation

Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 38(3), 283–298.

By: M. Riar n, J. Spears n, J. Burns n, D. Jordan n, C. Zhang n & T. Rufty n

TL;DR: The results show the difficulty encountered when trying to control or eradicate Benghal dayflower in sustainable farming systems, as Cultivation is unlikely to be an effective control strategy during summer months, because soil temperatures are optimal for vegetative regeneration.

2012 journal article

Benghal Dayflower (Commelina benghalensis) Seed Viability in Soil

WEED SCIENCE, 60(4), 589–592.

By: M. Riar n, T. Webster *, B. Brecke*, D. Jordan n, M. Burton *, D. Telenko*, T. Rufty n

author keywords: Federal noxious weed; invasive species; seed burial; soil seedbank; tropical spiderwort
TL;DR: It appears that a decline in buried seed viability to minimal levels occurs within 39 to 48 mo in the southeastern United States, suggesting that management programs must prevent seed production for at least four growing seasons to severely reduce the Benghal dayflower soil seedbank.
