Mung beans (Vigna radiata [L] Wilczek) purchased from a Spanish company as "green soybeans", showed a different phenolic composition than yellow soybeans (Glycine max cv. Merit). Isoflavones were predominant in yellow soybeans, whereas they were completely absent in the green seeds on which
There are several branch points in the flavonoid synthesis pathway starting from chalcone. Among them, the hydroxylation of flavanone is a key step leading to flavonol and anthocyanin. The flavanone 3-beta-hydroxylase (GmF3H) gene was cloned from soybean (Glycine max cultivar Sinpaldal) and shown to
Soybean isoflavone synthase (IFS) and flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) are two key enzymes catalyzing the biosynthesis of isoflavonoids and flavonoids, both of which play diverse roles in stress responses. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of these genes in cultivated soybean and
We used soybean (Glycine max) cDNA microarrays to identify candidate genes for a stable mutation at the Wp locus in soybean, which changed a purple-flowered phenotype to pink, and found that flavanone 3-hydroxylase cDNAs were overexpressed in purple flower buds relative to the pink. Restriction
BACKGROUND
The recent discoveries of transposable elements carrying host gene fragments such as the Pack-MULEs (Mutator-like transposable elements) of maize (Zea mays), rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis thaliana, the Helitrons of maize and the Tgm-Express of soybeans, revealed a widespread genetic
Cytochrome P-450-dependent hydroxylases are typical enzymes for the modification of basic flavonoid skeletons. We show in this study that CYP71D9 cDNA, previously isolated from elicitor-induced soybean (Glycine max L.) cells, codes for a protein with a novel hydroxylase activity. When heterologously
Flavonoids are a very diverse group of plant secondary metabolites with a wide array of activities in plants, as well as in nutrition and health. All flavonoids are derived from a limited number of flavanone intermediates, which serve as substrates for a variety of enzyme activities, enabling the
BACKGROUND
Mapping expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) of targeted genes represents a powerful and widely adopted approach to identify putative regulatory variants. Linking regulation differences to specific genes might assist in the identification of networks and interactions. The objective
MYB transcription factor is one of the largest families in plants, which plays an important role in regulating plant development and physiological metabolism. In this study, the expression and function of the new MYB transcription factor gene GmMYBJ6 (GenBank No. DQ902863), isolated from soybean
The occurrence and distribution of an enzyme converting flavonols to 2,3-dihydroxy flavanones has been measured in various plants and found to occur in all plants tested.In garbanzo bean, Cicer arietinum L., the enzyme is found mainly in roots, hypocotyls, epicotyls and cytoledons while the other
Soybean (Glycine max L.) strains which accumulate kaempferol 3-(2(G)-glucosylgentiobioside) in their leaves fix CO(2) at rates significantly lower than those lacking this compound (Buttery, Buzzell 1976 Crop Sci 16: 547-550), and kaempferol aglycone is a well known inhibitor of photosynthesis in
Extracts of selected medicinal plants were examined by electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This technique allowed identification of the main components of each extract, thereby providing a typical finger-print of the examined plants. More specifically, anthocyanins (Vaccinium myrtillus),
Isoflavone levels in Glycine max (soybean) were increased via metabolic engineering of the complex phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. Phenylpropanoid pathway genes were activated by expression of the maize C1 and R transcription factors in soybean seed, which decreased genistein and increased the
We report the production of astragalin (AST) from regiospecific modifications of naringenin (NRN) in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The exogenously supplied NRN was converted into dihydrokaempferol (DHK) and then kaempferol (KMF) in the presence of flavanone-3-hydroxylase (f3h) and flavonone synthase
The first specific reaction in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid compounds in plants is the 2-hydroxylation, coupled to aryl migration, of a flavanone. Using a functional genomics approach, we have characterized a cDNA encoding a 2-hydroxyisoflavanone synthase from soybean (Glycine max). Microsomes
