The nodulation characteristics of soybean (Glycine max) mutant nts382 are described. The mutant nodulated significantly more than the parent cultivar Bragg in the presence and absence of several combined nitrogen sources (KNO(3), urea, NH(4)Cl, and NH(4)NO(3)). The number of nodules on the tap root and on lateral roots was increased in the mutant line. In the presence of KNO(3) and urea, nitrogenase activity was considerably higher in nts382 than in Bragg. Mutant plants were generally smaller than wild-type plants. Although nts382 is a supernodulator, inoculation with Rhizobium japonicum was necessary to induce nodule formation and both trial strains CB1809 (= USDA136) and USDA110 elicited the mutant phenotype. Segregation of M(3) progeny derived from a M(2) wild-type plant indicated that the mutant character is inherited as a Mendelian recessive. The mutant is discussed in the context of regulation of nodulation and of hypotheses that have been proposed to explain nitrate inhibition of nodulation.

ABSTRACT Deformation disease of Gypsophila paniculata mother plants reduces cutting yields as much as 50% but does not kill the mother plants. In preliminary experiments, fertigation of G. paniculata mother plants with a 20:20:20 compound fertilizer (N, P, K, plus microelements) at an N concentration of 720 mg/liter reduced the expression of deformation disease compared with the conventional N concentration of 360 mg/liter. The current study determined which component of the compound fertilizer reduced the disease. Experiments were carried out in 10-liter buckets packed with naturally infested 0- to 8-mm black tuff (Scoria = crushed volcanic stones). Irrigation was applied once a day at 0.5 liter per bucket with the nutrient under test being added at 1.0 liter per bucket via the water once a week. Treatments included: (i) four levels of 20:20:20 fertilizer; (ii) four levels of each of N, P, K, and Fe-Zn-Mn mixture (ME) corresponding to their concentrations in the compound fertilizer; (iii) different N sources (20:20:20, (NH(4))(2)SO(4), KNO(3), NH(4)NO(3), urea); and (iv) three pHs of the irrigation water at each of three NO(3) and NH(4) application levels. Increasing the 20:20:20 fertilizer concentration reduced the disease level from 82 to 96% with N at 180 mg/liter to 6 to 10% with N at 720 mg/liter. When either P, K, or ME was the sole variable, increasing concentrations had no significant effect on the disease, but elevating a mixed source nitrogen concentration from 0 to 180, 360, and 720 mg/liter (as 50% urea, 40% NH(4)NO(3), and 10% KNO(3)) significantly reduced deformation similar to that observed with increasing concentrations of the 20:20:20 fertilizer. mong tested N sources, NH(4) was the most effective in reducing the disease (almost to zero at an N concentration of 360 g/liter). Low disease incidence (0 to 10%) was always associated with effluent pH of 6 or lower. Irrigating with acidified water pH 5.5) in the presence of N, as NH(4) at 180 mg/liter, additionally reduced disease from 56% under tap water (pH 7.8) rrigation to 11%. Similar acidification in the presence of NO (-) (3) N at 180 mg/liter was ineffective in reducing the disease, but ater basification in the presence of NO (-) (3) N reduced disease incidence from 93 to 38% 90 days after planting. The N, P, K, Fe, and Zn concentrations in gypsophila cuttings were similar under the three tested levels of NH(4), NO(3), and 20:20:20, whereas the concentration of Mn increased with increasing N. The Mn concentration in cuttings was inversely correlated with disease and is probably an important factor to understanding the physiological background of the deformation disease.

Metal ions were determined by ESI-MS in the negative ion mode as monovalent negative ions of their aminopolycarboxylic acid (APC) complexes, e.g., [Al(cydta)](-), [Pb(Hcydta)](-), where excess amounts of the APC agents were added to sample solutions. Among several APCs studied, we chose trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CyDTA) as the best chelating agent because of higher stabilities and higher sensitivities of the complexes. The ionization efficiency of these metal complexes was strongly affected by the presence of matrix salts, e.g., NaCl, KNO(3), and etc. Thus, a size exclusion column (Sephadex G-10) was used for the online separation of the metal-APC complexes from other matrix salts. This method was successfully applied to the quantitative analyses for total amounts of Al, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb in the biological certified reference materials, olive leaves (BCR-062) and plankton (BCR-414). The detection limits of the present methods for these elements were several to several ten nanomolar levels. Moreover, this approach was extended to determine ultratraces of fluoride based on the formation of the ternary complex of aluminum, fluoride and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), i.e., [AlF(nta)](-). Its detection limit was 10 nM and was 2 orders of magnitude better than that of a fluoride ion selective electrode method. This method was applied to determine fluoride in tap water, river water, and green tea samples.
