Stem infusions enhanced methionine content of soybean storage protein.

The quality of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) seed storage protein is limited by its low methionine (Met) content. Met supplementation of an in vitro soybean cotyledon culture has been shown to increase Met content by 21.

P Nutrition during Seed Development : Leaf Senescence, Pod Retention, and Seed Weight of Soybean.

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) leaf senescence, which may partially result from mineral redistribution, appears to limit grain yield. Two experiments were designed to test the effects of supplemental inorganic phosphate (Pi), K, malate, and methionine (Met) infusions on senescence and yield.
