| Abstract: | Diversity for chloride tolerance exists among accessions of perennial Glycine. Accessions whose tolerance thresholds exceed those of Glycine max cultivars may be useful germplasm resources. Soyabean cultivars including Jackson (sensitive) and Lee (tolerant) and 12 accessions of perennial Glycine (including 6 species) were evaluated for sodium chloride tolerance after 14 days in hydroponic culture at 0, 5, 10, and 15 g NaCl/litre. Sodium chloride had adverse effects on the growth of G. max cultivars and perennial Glycine accessions; however differential responses to salinity were observed among accessions. Considerably greater variation in sodium chloride tolerance existed among the perennial Glycine accessions than among the G. max cultivars. Sodium chloride tolerance thresholds ranged from 3.0 to 17.5 g NaCl/litre for the perennial accessions but only ranged from 5.2 to 8.0 g NaCl/litre for the cultivars, based on a Weibull model of leaf chlorosis. All G. max cultivars were severely injured or killed by NaCl at 10 g/litre and above. Five tolerant perennial Glycine accessions, G. argyrea 1626, G. clandestina 1388 and 1389, and G. microphylla 1143 and 1195, were significantly lower in leaf chlorosis score than any of the G. max cultivars at the 10 g NaCl/litre treatment. Two accessions, G. argyrea 1626 and G. clandestina 1389 were able to tolerate 15 g NaCl/litre with only moderate visual injury while all other accessions were severely injured or killed at this salt level. Variability for chloride tolerance observed among the perennial Glycine accessions has potential utility for developing enhanced salt tolerance in soyabean. |
