A 4MSII medium amended with 10 mM sodium bicarbonate was developed that accurately identified soybean genotypes resistant to iron deficiency. Because of the time constraints associated with this procedure a modified screening technique was developed that used cotyledons as the explant source. Rating of cotyledon color and callus growth provided an accurate indicator of a genotype's response to iron deficiency. A low iron medium was used to demonstrate that a single dominant gene is responsible for resistance to iron deficiency chlorosis at the cellular level.

In the first study a highly significant correlation was observed between soybean response to iron and manganese deficiency indicating a similarity in mechanisms associated with resistance to these two micronutrient deficiencies. A genetic study using F$\\sb2$ plants and F$\\sb{2:3}$ families indicated that multiple genes were required for tolerance to Mn deficiency. Yield studies indicated that Mn deficiency had no affect on soybean yield. However, because previous reports have shown that Mn deficiency affects seed yield it was speculated that factors such as genotype maturity and environmental variation may have influenced the results.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T23:49:55Z (GMT).
