ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) fixation by rhizobia plays an important role in N assimilation of soybean (Glycine max). Nitrogenase, the enzyme responsible for N fixation in rhizobia, contains a large amount of sulfur (S) molecules and requires phosphorus (P) in adenosine triphosphate. Thus, S and P are essential for plant growth and N fixation by rhizobia. However, P in soils forms insoluble PO4 3 – salts with metals. Plant roots solubilize these PO4 3- salts by secreting organic acids and absorb solubilized PO4 3-. In this study, the effects of S application on P solubilization by soybean roots and the involvement of rhizobia were evaluated. Soybean plants inoculated with Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110 were grown in vermiculite, and Ca3(PO4)2 was added as the sole P source. A hydroponic solution supplemented with three S concentrations (0, 20, and 1000 µM) was applied, and plants were grown for 5 weeks. Root fresh weight, the soil-plant analysis development (SPAD) values, and shoot and root S concentrations increased significantly with S application, but root nodule numbers and nitrogenase activity were not significantly affected. Organic acid secretion by roots was drastically increased by S application, and shoot P concentration and content also increased significantly. These results indicated that S application can promote P solubilization by increasing the secretion of organic acids by roots and increase in N fixation is not involved in this promotion at least in early vegetative growth period.
