PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF THE SOYBEAN PLANT UNDER WATER SCARCITY
Keywords:
oybean, drought stress, stomatal regulation, osmotic adjustment, antioxidant defenses, root architecture, water scarcityAbstract
Water scarcity is a critical environmental stressor affecting soybean
(Glycine max), a globally significant crop. Understanding the physiological processes
soybeans employ to cope with drought stress is vital for developing drought-resistant
cultivars. This study investigates key mechanisms, including stomatal regulation,
photosynthesis, root system adjustments, osmotic balance, antioxidant defenses, and
hormonal signaling, highlighting how these adaptations collectively support survival under
limited water availability. Findings reveal that soybean plants optimize water use, reallocate
resources, and activate molecular pathways to mitigate the impacts of drought, with
significant implications for enhancing drought tolerance through breeding and agricultural
practices.
