| 摘要 | Understanding soybean responses to drought stress is critical for breeding drought-tolerant varieties. The extent of stomatal regulation of leaf water potential during drought stress can be characterized by the degree of iso-hydry. We hypothesize that abscisic acid (ABA) and hydraulic signals, two key factors in?uencing stomatal regulation, coordinate differently to regulate stomatal closure and impact yield performance under varying drought intensities in soybeans with different isohydric behaviors. To test this, we selected four landraces and four modern cultivars exhibiting diverse isohydric behaviors and conducted a progressive drought experiment. The experiment measured stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate (Pn), and leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) as soil moisture progressively declined. Additionally, a water control experiment assessed foliar ABA content, osmotic adjustment (OA), and yield components under moderate (50 % pot capacity) and severe stress (30 % pot capacity) drought stress were compared relative to well-watered conditions. Results showed that modern cul-tivars, characterized by more isohydric behavior, produced higher ABA levels, triggering earlier stomatal closure at higher soil water content, which was subsequently modulated by hydraulic signals during prolonged drought. Isohydric genotypes also displayed enhanced OA, enabling them to maintain high Pn under severe drought stress. Under moderate drought stress, the isohydric cultivars experienced greater yield lose (21 % and 25 % for two isohydric cultivars vs. |
