A previous study demonstrated that purified Glycine max β-glucosidase (GmBGL) could hydrolyze glucosyl isoflavone to the aglyconic form. This study reports the cloning and functional characterization of a soybean cDNA encoding the β-glucosidase. GmBGL was isolated by use of a purified soybean
Isoflavone conjugate-hydrolyzing β-glucosidase (GmICHG) of soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] catalyzes the specific hydrolysis of isoflavone conjugates (β-7-O-(malonyl)glucosides of isoflavones) to produce free isoflavones. In this study, changes in the transcription levels of GmICHG in the
Soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and certain other legumes excrete isoflavones from their roots, which participate in plantmicrobe interactions such as symbiosis and as a defense against infections by pathogens. In G. max, the release of free isoflavones from their conjugates, the latent forms, is
Epicotyls from germinated soybeans (EGS) have great potential as sources of endogenous β-glucosidase. Furthermore, this enzyme may improve the conversion of isoflavones into their corresponding aglycones. β-Glucosidase may also increase the release of aglycones from the cell wall of the plant
A beta-glucosidase with high specific activity towards isoflavone conjugates was purified from soybean [Glycine max] roots by high salt extraction from a low speed centrifugal pellet and subsequent anion and cation exchange chromatography. Purification required stabilization throughout fractionation
Dietary isoflavones, daidzein and genistein are of huge interest in the nutraceutical field due to their practical application to postmenopause complications. This study is the first report an efficient method to prepare isoflavone rich soybean leaves (soyleaves) which is an edible food stuff in
The term regulon has been coined in the genetic model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, denoting a structural and physiological defense apparatus defined genetically through the identification of the penetration (pen) mutants. The regulon is composed partially by the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive
Manure impacts labile pools of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) which can influence soil microbial composition (MCC) and enzyme activities, and hence soil health. The present study was conducted to investigate the impacts of long-term dairy manure and inorganic fertilizers (INF) on soil
Soybean (Glycine max L.) cotyledon callus grown on radioactive 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D-1-(14)C) as an auxin produced 2,4-D metabolites, which qualitatively and quantitatively changed with time. Water soluble fractions from the tissue exhibited a steady increase in radioactivity during
The gene encoding hydroxyisourate hydrolase, a novel ureide-metabolizing enzyme, has been cloned from soybean (Glycine max). The gene encodes a protein that is 560 amino acids in length and contains a 31-amino acid signal sequence at the N terminus that is not present in the mature protein. The
Soybean (Glycine max) is susceptible to root rot when subjected to continuous cropping, and this disease can seriously diminish the crop yield. Proteomics analyses can show the difference of protein expression in different treatment samples. Herein, isobaric tag for relative and absolute
Mobilization of unavailable phosphorus (P) to plant available P is a prerequisite to sustain crop productivity. Although most of the agricultural soils have sufficient amounts of phosphorus, low availability of native soil P remains a key limiting factor to increasing crop productivity.
Two plant-originated C-glucosyltransferases (CGTs) UGT708D1 from Glycine max and GtUF6CGT1 from Gentiana triflora were accessed for glucosylation of selected flavones chrysin and luteolin. Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose pool was enhanced in Escherichia coli cell cytosol by introducing
A variety of lectins were tested in vitro for inhibitory action against the activities of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase and the N-glycohydrolases (alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucosidase and beta-glucuronidase). Lectins from Phaseolus vulgaris, Momordica charantia,
