We investigated the effects of ozone (O3) on seed protein accumulation in soybean, rice, and wheat based on existing literature. We identified 30, 10, and 32 datasets meeting the requirements for soybean, rice, and wheat, respectively. Data for each crop were combined in response regressions for seed protein concentration, seed protein yield, and seed yield. Although seed yield in rice was less sensitive to O3 than in wheat, there was a significant positive effect of O3 on the seed protein concentration of the same magnitude in both crops. Soybean, an N-fixing high-protein crop, responded differently. Even though the effect on seed yield was similar to wheat, there was no indication of any effect of O3 on seed protein concentration in soybean. The negative influence of O3 on seed protein yield was statistically significant for soybean and wheat. The effect was larger for soybean (slope of response function: −0.58% per ppb O3) than for wheat (slope: −0.44% per ppb) and especially compared to rice (slope: −0.08% per ppb). The different response of protein concentration in soybean, likely to be associated with adverse O3 effects on N fixation, has large implications for global protein production because of the much higher absolute protein concentration in soybean.

SUMMARYSignificant differences were found between 20 chickpea cultivars and four locations in respect of the concentration of protein in the seeds. Cultivar x location interactions were also significant. The average protein concentration among cultivars varied from 18.5 to 23.2% and among locations from 18.3 to 22.7%. Correlations between seed protein concentration and seed yield and seed size were very small. Protein concentration was influenced by available nitrogen in the soil.

The influence of seed inoculation with a bio-preparation of nodule bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum, fertilization of 0, 40, 80, 120 kg N/ha and molybdenum topdressing on the yield of green mass, dry matter, seed, average number of pods per plant, average number of seeds per pod, average nodule number per plant, nodule dry weight as well as plant and seed protein concentration were studied during the two years of investigations on two soils – Mollic Gleysols and Eutric Cambisols. The highest values of all investigated parameters were obtained in the inoculated seed variants with molybdenum application, except the average nodule number per plant where the highest values were achieved in variants without molybdenum. The effect of nitrogen fertilization depended on the soil type, i.e. its chemical properties. The largest number of the investigated parameters obtained the highest values as a result of fertilization with 40 kg N/ha on Mollic Gleysols (3.96% humus). Thus, seed yield was 4.02 t/ha, nodule dry matter 0.482 g per plant whereas seed protein concentration was 26.91%. The largest number of the investigated parameters on Eutric Cambisols (1.07% humus) obtained the highest values with fertilization of 80 kg N/ha where seed yield amounted to 3.65 t/ha, nodule dry matter 0.456 g per plant while seed protein concentration was 26.48%.

A 9-yr (1999–2007) field experiment was conducted on a S-deficient Gray Luvisol (Typic Cryoboralf) loam soil at Porcupine Plain in northeastern Saskatchewan. The objective was to compare the influence of six successive annual applications (1999–2004) and the following residual effects for 3 yr (2005–2007) of elemental S and sulphate-S fertilizers on yield, seed protein and total S concentration, and S uptake of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a wheat–canola rotation. Treatments used were combinations of two application times (preceding autumn and before seeding in spring) with two granular elemental S fertilizers (ES-90 and ES-95), one fertilizer containing both elemental S and sulphate-S (Agrium Plus), ammonium sulphate, and a zero-S control. The S fertilizers were applied annually at a rate of 15 kg S ha–1. From 1999 to 2004, seed yield (3 yr) and straw yield (4 yr), seed protein concentration (3 yr), total S concentration in seed (4 yr), and S uptake in seed (5 yr) and straw (5 yr) of wheat showed significant response to S fertilization. In the first year (1999), ammonium sulphate and Agrium Plus were more effective than ES-90 and ES-95. In the following years (2000–2004), there was no significant effect of S source on seed and straw yield. Sulphate-S containing fertilizers produced greater total S concentration in seed and S uptake in straw (3 yr) and for S uptake in seed (1 yr). There was no effect of timing of S application on seed yield and protein concentration in any year, but autumn application was superior to spring application for straw yield and S uptake (1 yr), and for seed total S concentration and S uptake (2 yr). Residual effects of six previous S applications showed improvement in wheat seed yield until 2006, and straw yield and total S uptake until 2007. Elemental S, especially when applied in autumn, tended to have more lasting residual effects than the other S fertilizer treatments. There was some build-up of residual sulphate-S in soil in almost all S fertilizer treatments after four successive applications, but this was generally higher with sulphate-S-containing fertilizers. Recovery of applied S from 1999 to 2004 in plants was usually higher with sulphate-S fertilizer than with elemental S fertilizer in most years. Recovery of applied S in soil was higher for sulphate-S fertilizers, followed by ES-90, and finally ES-95. Residual nitrate-N in soil was significantly lower in spring-applied ammonium sulphate treatment than the zero-S or other S treatments.

Crop production diversification in western Canada includes pulse crops, necessitating more information on fertilization of these crops. Experiments with seed placement (SP) and side banding (SB) of phosphorus (P) fertilizer were conducted at three Saskatchewan locations during a 3-yr period, using pea (Pisum sativum L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.) for a total of 24 location-crop combinations. Monoammonium phosphate was applied at six rates of up to 44 kg P ha−1. Stand counts were taken at 3–4 wk after seeding; seed yield, seed P and seed protein concentration were measured. Stand count of pea was inversely proportional to rate of SP-P, with the stand count being reduced by 50% at the 44 kg P ha−1 rate. Lentil stand was reduced by SP-P at only two locations, and the effects were much less severe than for pea. Faba bean stand was not affected by P placement or rate. Seed yield of pea was higher with SB-P than with SP-P at all locations, but with lentil, SB-P gave higher seed yield at only two of the three locations. Seed yield of faba bean was not affected by P placement. Seed P concentration was directly related to P rates at two locations but was not affected by P placement. Seed protein concentration of the three crops was not affected by P treatment. Key words: Placement, phosphorus fertilizer, pulse crops, pea, lentil, faba bean

AbstractThe development of soybean varieties with higher seed protein concentration has been hindered by a negative correlation between seed protein concentration and yield. Benning HP, a genotype that breaks this tradeoff, contains a high protein allele introgressed into the cultivar Benning. Because seed protein is thought to be limited by N, field and growth chamber experiments were performed to identify the N flux(es) that enable Benning HP’s increased seed protein without a yield penalty. When the N source was completely controlled in growth chambers, Benning HP was able to fix more N than its recurrent parent, but this response depended on the strain of the rhizobia symbiont and was not observed at all developmental stages. In the field, Benning HP remobilized N from its leaves at a higher rate during seed fill, but this response was only observed in one of the years studied. These results demonstrate that Benning HP has higher potential for N fixation and N remobilization from vegetative tissue compared to its lower protein recurrent parent, but those traits are not consistently expressed and may depend on environmental and sink control.

A recurrent selection method for use in faba bean (Vicia faba) was evaluated over a 10-yr period. The method consists of growing superior lines in open-pollinated random mating nurseries (RMN), selecting heavily podded plants from these lines, evaluating the offspring for yield and seed protein concentration, and replacing inferior lines in the RMN with selections deemed superior. Two types of RMN were established, one for yield (RMY) and the other for both yield and seed protein content (RMP). The criterion for entry of a line into the RMY was a seed yield in the top 3 % of a yield trial while entry into the RMP required a line to be in the top 5% for seed yield and 3% for protein content. A positive increase in seed yield of the selected lines from both RMNs was found over time, but no increase in seed protein content was noted.Key words: Vicia faba, recurrent selection, breeding method, faba bean
