BackgroundAbscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in plant growth and adaptation through the ABA signaling pathway. The ABA-responsive element binding (AREB/ABF) family transcriptional factors are central regulators that integrate ABA signaling with various signaling pathways. It has long been known that ABA inhibits rhizobial infection and nod...

The uses of vegetable oils are determined by functional properties arising from their chemical composition. Soybean oil was previously used in margarines and baked foods after partial hydrogenation to achieve heat and oxidative stability. This process, however, generates trans fats that are now excluded from food use because of cardiovascular healt...

To reveal calcium-mediated germination in soybean, a gel-free/label-free proteomics was performed in radicle of seed imbibed with CaCl2. Morphological analysis presented promoting and suppressing performance of seed growth under 5 and 50 mM CaCl2, respectively. A total of 106 and 581 proteins were identified in response to 5 and 50 mM CaCl2, respec...

Main conclusionSoybean possesses 19 CMF genes which mainly arose from duplication events. Their features and motifs are highly conserved but transcriptional data indicated functional diversity in metabolism and stress responses.AbstractCCT [for CONSTANS, CONSTANS-like (CO-like), and timing of CAB expression1 (TOC1)] domain-containing genes play imp...

Climate change is predicted to increase the probability of soil waterlogging due to severe rainfall, causing significant damage to soybean at the germination stage. Germination under waterlogging is also greatly influenced by temperature. To clarify the variation in germination responses of soybean genotypes to waterlogging at different temperature...

This study was aimed at the genome-wide identification, a comprehensive in silico characterization of NHX genes from soybean (Glycine max L.) and their tissue-specific expression under varied levels (0-200 mM NaCl) of salinity stress. A total of nine putative NHX genes were identified from soybean. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed a total of fiv...
Soybean phosphatidylcholine, which is rich in linoleic acid, was oxidized with singlet oxygen through photosensitization with methylene blue. This compound facilitates the oxidation of phospholipids relative to the reaction with free unsaturated fatty acids. A response surface methodology was used to control oxidation, with methylene blue concentra...

Organotin compounds are applied in several industrial reactions and can present antifungal and antibacterial activities. Incorrect handling and storage practices of biodiesel and diesel–biodiesel blends can lead to microbial development, impacting its final quality. Concerning this problem, this work investigated the antimicrobial action of two org...

Growing interest in the health benefits of soy isoflavones has led to research in the isolation of individual isoflavone species for further application. Herein, we develop a new strategy to isolate daidzein, genistein, daidzin and genistin in soybean. We investigated the impact of solvents used and the extraction time on the extracted isoflavone c...

BackgroundSoybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] is an annual leguminous crop serving as a source of food and feed, green manure, biodiesel and fiber. It is nodulated by diverse slow growing and fast growing rhizobia belonging to the genus Bradyrhizobium and Sinorhizobium, respectively. In Ethiopia, it has been cultivated since 1950s with lower grain yiel...
