Characterisation of dark chilling effects on the functional longevity of soybean root nodules
(North-West University, 2012)A large proportion of the world’s nitrogen needs is derived from symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF), which contributes substantially to agricultural sustainability. The partnership between legumes and rhizobia result in the ... -
The impact of dark chilling followed by exposure to high light intensities on ultrastructure and selected biochemical reactions of photosynthesis in Glycine Max (L.) Merrill
(North-West University (South Africa), 2002)The impact of dark chilling on ultrastructure and key reactions of photosynthesis was assessed in two soybean genotypes, 'Maple Arrow' and 'Fiskeby V'. Both these genotypes are regarded as chilling tolerant (albeit ... -
Limitation of photosynthetic carbon metabolism in South African soybean genotypes in response to low night temperatures
(North-West University, 2008)Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a key source of protein for humans and animals, but is unfortunately chilling sensitive. A single episode of low night temperature (dark chilling) is sufficient to inhibit pod formation ...
