Abstract To reveal the antixenosis potential against the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) we analyzed the pea aphid survival and probing behavior, and the quantitative and qualitative variation of flavonoids in the leaves of selected soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr (Fabaceae) cultivars ‘Aldana’, ‘Annushka’, ‘Augusta’, ‘Madlen’, ‘Mavka’, ‘Simona’, ‘Violetta’, and ‘Viorica’. Aphid survival was drastically impeded on all cultivars. The electronic monitoring of aphid probing using the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique revealed that on all soybean cultivars, A. pisum readily probed into leaf tissues but the probes were usually terminated before reaching vascular tissues, which demonstrates the activity of antixenosis mechanisms in peripheral tissues epidermis and/or mesophyll in soybean leaves. The potency of antixenosis factors differed among soybean cultivars, which was reflected in differences in aphid survival and frequency and duration of phloem sap ingestion. Seven flavonoids were found: apigenin, daidzein, genistein, glycitein, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and rutin, which occurred in different amount and proportion in individual cultivars. The content of apigenin and genistein in all soybean cultivars studied probably made them relatively unacceptable to A. pisum. Kaempferol in ‘Aldana’ might be responsible for the observed strong antixenosis resistance of this cultivar to A. pisum.

Flavonoids detected in soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. (Fabaceae) cause various alterations in the metabolism, behavior, and development of insect herbivores. The pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) poses potential threat to soybeans, but the effect of individual flavonoids on its feeding-associated behavior is relatively unknown. We monitored probing behavior (stylet penetration activities) of A. pisum on its preferred host plant, Pisum sativum L. untreated (control) and treated with 0.1% ethanolic solutions of flavonoids apigenin, daidzein, genistein, and kaempferol. We applied the electrical penetration graph (electropenetrography, EPG) technique, which visualizes the movements of aphid stylets within plant tissues. None of the applied flavonoids affected the propensity to probe the plants by A. pisum. However, apigenin enhanced the duration of probes in non-phloem tissues, which caused an increase in the frequency and duration of stylet mechanics derailment and xylem sap ingestion but limited the ingestion of phloem sap. Daidzein caused a delay in reaching phloem vessels and limited sap ingestion. Kaempferol caused a reduction in the frequency and duration of the phloem phase. Genistein did not affect aphid probing behavior. Our findings provide information for selective breeding programs of resistant plant cultivars to A. pisum.

AbstractTrehalose serves multifarious roles in growth and development of insects. In this study, we demonstrated that the high trehalose diet increased the glucose content, and high glucose diet increased the glucose content but decreased the trehalose content of Acyrthosiphon pisum. RNA interference (RNAi) of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene (ApTPS) decreased while RNAi of trehalase gene (ApTRE) increased the trehalose and glucose contents. In the electrical penetration graph experiment, RNAi of ApTPS increased the percentage of E2 waveform and decreased the percentage of F and G waveforms. The high trehalose and glucose diets increased the percentage of E2 waveform of A. pisum red biotype. The correlation between feeding behavior and sugar contents indicated that the percentage of E1 and E2 waveforms were increased but np, C, F and G waveforms were decreased in low trehalose and glucose contents. The percentage of np, E1 and E2 waveforms were reduced but C, F and G waveforms were elevated in high trehalose and glucose contents. The results suggest that the A. pisum with high trehalose and glucose contents spent less feeding time during non-probing phase and phloem feeding phase, but had an increased feeding time during probing phase, stylet work phase and xylem feeding phase.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars were tested for yield at various populations in hillplots that had plants compactly clumped and in comparative hill and row plots. Results indicated that thinning to a uniform stand should be worthwhile in cases where population varies and that selection in hills for material to be grown in rows could be from 43 to 95% as effective as direct selection in row plots.Key words: Glycine max, soybean cultivars, plant density, yield, hill plots, selection

Westag 97 has larger capacity of Cd accumulation in roots which prevents Cd from translocating into stems and leaves; conversely, AC Hime has smaller capacity of Cd accumulation in roots; more Cd is transported into stems and leaves. The different capacity of Cd in roots between Westag 97 and AC Hime causes the different Cd concentration in seeds. Meanwhile, according to the different expression levels of RSTK, ISCP, and H+-ATPase between Westag 97 and AC Hime, RSTK may be involved in transporting Cd into stems and leaves; H+-ATPase may be correlated to the capacity of Cd accumulation in roots; and Cd caused some changes of fundamental life process which leaded to the different expression patterns of ISCP between Westag 97 and AC Hime.

O presente trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar os teores de óleo e proteína dos grãos em cultivares de soja em função do retardamento da colheita e verificar a influência da época de semeadura sob condições de baixa latitude. No ano agrícola de 2015/16, foram realizados dois ensaios de competição de cultivares de soja em Palmas-TO, sendo o primeiro instalado em 17 de dezembro de 2015 e o segundo em 04 de janeiro de 2016. O delineamento experimental utilizado em cada época de semeadura foi de blocos casualizados com setenta tratamentos e cinco repetições. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em um esquema de parcelas subdivididas, representados por dez genótipos de soja (PRISMA, TMG 132 RR, M 8647 RR, M 8372 RR, BONUS, RAÇA, ST 820 RR, OPUS, TMG 1180 RR e M 9144 RR), nas parcelas, e por sete estádios de colheita dos grãos (R6, R7, R8, R8+7, R8+14, R8+21 e R8+28 dias), nas subparcelas. Houve efeito das épocas de plantio e dos estádios de colheita nos teores de óleo e proteína dos grãos. As cultivares apresentaram comportamentos diferenciados nas duas épocas de semeaduras, a cultivar M9144 RR obteve um crescente aumento nos teores de proteína na segunda época com retardamento da colheita dos grãos. A partir do estádio R8 de desenvolvimento, o teor de óleo nos grãos de três cultivares foi maior na primeira época de semeadura. Na segunda época, quatro cultivares mostram aumento no teor de óleo a partir de R8.Palavras-chave: Glycine Max L.; retardamento; composição química dos grãos. EPOCH AND AFTER DELAYED OF SOYBEAN HARVEST VISUALIZING OIL AND PROTEIN PRODUCTION  ABSTRACT: The present work was carried out with the objective of evaluate the oil and protein contents of the grains in soybean cultivars as a function of the harvest delay and to verify the influence of the sowing season under conditions in low latitude. In the agricultural year 2015/16, two competition trials of soybean cultivars were carried out in Palmas-TO, the first one being installed on December 17, 2015 and the second on January 4, 2016. The experimental design used at each time were randomized blocks with seventy treatments and five replications. The treatments were arranged in a scheme of subdivided plots, represented by ten soybean genotypes (PRISMA, TMG 132 RR, M 8647 RR, M 8372 RR, BONUS, RAÇA, ST 820 RR, OPUS, TMG 1180 RR e M 9144 RR, on the plots, and seven stages of grain harvest (R6, R7, R8, R8+7, R8+14, R8+21 e R8+28 dias) in the subplots. There was an effect of planting times and harvest stages on the oil and protein contents of the grains. The cultivars presented different behaviors in the two sowing seasons; the cultivar M9144 RR obtained an increasing increase in the protein content in the second season with grain harvest delay. From the R8 development stage, the oil content in the grains of three cultivars was higher in the first sowing season. In the second season, four cultivars show an increase in oil content from R8.Keywords: Glycine max L.; retardation; chemical composition of grains.

These sets of experiments were conducted at Faculty of Agriculture Sebelas Maret University and the Central Experiment Station of Agricultural Faculty, Sebelas Maret University at Jumantono, Karanganyar, Central Java. The experiments were conducted under greenhouse, laboratory and field condition for each year, while the duration of this research was for two years. The specific objectives of the experiments were: (i) to determine the changes of some morpho-physiological characteristics of water stress soybean and those of unstressed plants at different growth stages; (ii) to evaluate relationship between morpho-physiological traits associated with water stress resistance and yield of soybean. In this study consists some experiments, there are: (i) about response of some soybean cultivars to water stress in screen house and field condition; (ii) about germination response of some soybean cultivars in different concentration 0f PEG; (iii) a bout recovery survival and recovery of soybean seedlings after heat treatment. The plants were well watered before thetreatment. Based on the result of the experiments, the following conclusion could be made: (i) water stress reduced growth, yield and yield components 0 f a II soybean c ultivars used; (li) PEG induced water stress resulted in lower germination, shorter root and shoot length, and increase root-shoot ratio; (iii) the ability of plants to recovery after heat stress have low correlation with drought resistance in this experiment; (iv) the determination of root-shoot ratio in the seedling stage was shown to be suitable screening techniques used to study water stress resistance.© 200'3Jurusan Biologi FMIPA UNS SurakartaKey words: soybean (Glycine max L.), cultivars, water stress.
