  The Response of Soybean (glycine max (l.) Meer.) Varieties from the Tropical Region to Five Watering Regimes under a Controlled Environment
  Author(s): Apriyana Y*, Fichtler E and Whitbread A
  
  In some rice dominated tropical regions, such as in Indonesia, soybeans are an increasingly important dry season crop which are often exposed to periods of drought stress. The morphological and physiological responses, which could lead to some tolerance to water stress, may vary between varieties. By better understanding the plant response to drought stress and finding if these responses vary between varieties better dry season production could be achieved. An experiment was conducted to compare the response of four varieties of soybean (glycine max (l.) Meer.) to five watering regimes, with the objective of determining the response of common soybean varieies across a wide range of water supply. Plant response to water supply was measured using gas exchange measurement with the rate of photo synthesis decreasing progressively from well watered to dry conditions across the four varieti..
