  • What Are Soybeans?
    candy, cakes, cheeses, peanut butter, animal feeds, candles, paint, body lotions, biodiesel, furniture soybeans USES: What are soybeans? Soybeans are small round seeds, each with a tiny hilum (small brown spot). They are made up of three basic parts. Each soybean has a seed coat (outside cover that protects the seed), VOCABULARY cotyledon (the first leaf or pair of leaves within the embryo that stores food), and the embryo (part of a seed that develops into Cultivar: a variety of plant that has been created or a new plant, including the stem, leaves and roots). Soybeans, selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation. like most legumes, perform nitrogen fixation. Modern soybean Embryo: part of a seed that develops into a new plant, cultivars generally reach a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), and including the stem, leaves and roots. take 80–120 days from sowing to harvesting. Exports: products or items that the U.S. sells and sends to other countries. Exports include raw products like whole soybeans or processed products like soybean oil or Leaflets soybean meal. Fertilizer: any substance used to fertilize the soil, especially a commercial or chemical manure. Hilum: the scar on a seed marking the point of attachment to its seed vessel (the brown spot). Leaflets: sub-part of leaf blade. All but the first node of soybean plants produce leaves with three leaflets. Legume: plants that perform nitrogen fixation and whose fruit is a seed pod. Beans, peas, clover and alfalfa are all legumes. Nitrogen Fixation: the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen Leaf into a nitrogen compound by certain bacteria, such as Stem rhizobium in the root nodules of legumes.

This section discusses leaf tissue is not formed quickly. various seed and plant parts, explains how the soybean plant develops utilizing standardized vegetative and reproductive stage descriptions which are used by the National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS), and describes some of the important factors which affect growth and development of the soybean plant. A soybean seed consists of a miniature plant attached to two nutrient storage reservoirs (cotyledons or seed halves) surrounded by a protective outer wrapper or seed coat called a testa (Figure 1). The cotyledons contain about 40% protein, 20% oil, and about 35% carbohydrate. These materials provide nutrients to the developing embryo during the germination process.

  • Difference Between Radicle and Plumule Key Difference
    Difference Between Radicle and Plumule www.differencebetween.com Key Difference - Radicle vs Plumule All seeds contain embryos. Seed embryo creates a new plant after germination. Therefore the embryo is protected inside the seed by a hard covering called testa. The seed begins to grow when the right conditions are found such as moisture, warmth, sunlight, nutrient-rich soil etc. There are two main components of a plant; shoot and root. Stem, leaves and roots develop from different parts of the seed embryo. The radicle is the first part that emerges from the seed during the germination through the micropyle (seed pore). It makes the roots of the new plant. Plumule emerges after the radicle and makes the stem of the new seedling. Cotyledons form the first leaves of the seedling. The key difference between radicle and plumule is that radicle is the root forming part of the seed embryo while plume is the stem forming part of the seed embryo. The cotyledons of the seed embryo hold the radicle and the plume. What is Radicle? The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant. It is a part of the seedling that comes first from the seed during the germination. It comes out from the seed through the micropyle. Radicle grows downwards into the soil. A root cap protects the tip of the radicle. It absorbs water and nutrients and supplies to the leaves for starting photosynthesis. Embryonic stem or the hypocotyl is found above the radicle. Figure 01: Radicle Radicle emerges from the seed as a short white structure.

  • Early Soybean Growth and Development
    EARLY SOYBEAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT A soybean seed has two distinct parts: the cotyledons and the embryo. The two cotyledons are the main food storage structure, which supply food during emergence and for the seven to ten days after emergence through the V1 growth stage. The embryo itself is comprised of three parts. 1. The radicle is the first root and it’s the first part of the embryo to penetrate the seed coat. Lateral roots form from the radicle, and tiny root hairs then develop on the lateral roots. Root hairs are the main absorbing surface of the entire root system. A soybean’s root system branches and rebranches within the first four to five weeks after planting, with the bulk of root mass persisting in the top six inches of soil. 2. The hypocotyl is the stem below the cotyledon. It begins to elongate after the radicle and forms an arch, which is pushed upward. As the arch breaks the soil surface, it pulls the cotyledons and epicotyl up. The uppermost cells of the hypocotyl stop growing as cells on the underside continue to straighten the arch. This process lifts the cotyledons into an upright position. 3. The epicotyl is comprised of the small leaves, stem and the apical growing point. The epicotyl is protected between the cotyledons until after emergence. The loss of a cotyledon is not lethal to the seedling, but damage to the epicotyl is. The hypocotyl arch is a large structure that is relative to seed size, utilizing considerable seed energy to push through the soil.

  • Growing a Sunflower from Seed
    Growing a sunflower from seed First, make a pot for your sunflower seeds from newspaper. Fill the pot ¾ full with potting oil. Plant two seeds 1/4” deep in the center of your pot. When you get your pot home: Place your pot on a plastic plate or tray in a sunny window. Water your seeds very gently so you don’t wash the seeds or the soil out of the pot. Keep the soil damp but not wet. When the newspaper pot turns grey, you have watered enough. When the newspaper pot has turned white it is time to water again. Your plant will not need additional food (fertilizer) while it is growing in the pot. When your plants sprout, one will probably be bigger and stronger (dominant)- cut the weaker plant stem with scissors at the soil line. When the remaining plant is approximately 5”-6” tall and has two sets of true leaves, it is ready to be planted outside. The newspaper does not have to be removed when planting your plant as the newspaper will breakdown (decompose). You can plant your sunflower plant in a large container or in a prepared site like a garden. Be sure to plant your plant at the same soil line as it is growing in the pot. Enjoy! Germination of the Sunflower Seed After the seed is wetted and put in a warm dark place: First the fruit wall splits and radicle emerges Then the hypocotyl extends down and forms root hairs Plant development seed coat lateral cotyledons roots cotyledons .

  • Variable Germination and Emergence in Soybean: Which Seeds Are Still Viable?
    Variable Germination and Emergence in Soybean: Which Seeds Are Still Viable? Shawn P. Conley State Soybean and Wheat Extension Specialist Many of us, including myself, have planted under less than ideal soil conditions this spring. Often the ground was worked a little on the wet side leading to clods and variable seeding depths for our soybean crop. Early reports of variable and delayed emergence in conventional (more common) and no­till soybean is raising replant and seed viability questions in several areas across the Midwest. If soybean was planted into dry soil and had not imbibed water (seed did not swell) then there is little to no concern for growers. Once a significant rainfall event occurs, the soybean will imbibe water, germinate, and should emerge normally. For yield estimates, we would assign the day it rained as the new planting date. The more difficult question to answer is “How viable is the soybean seed once imbibition and/or germination has begun?” The critical seed moisture content for soybean germination is 20%. A soybean seed that has imbibed water, has a split seed coat, or has an emerged radicle will continue to germinate and grow as normal once the seed is re­hydrated if the seed (embryo) remains above 20% moisture (Senaratna and McKersie, 1983) (Image 1). If the moisture content within a soybean seed falls to10% due to dry conditions after germination has started, then a dramatic difference exists among the different seed germination stages. If the seed has imbibed water for 6 hours (seed is swollen, but the seed coat has not broken), then the seed is dehydrated to 10% moisture, germination is not affected (Image 2).
