Infection of the soybean root by the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) induces a well-documented, yet poorly understood, response by the host plant. The plant response, involving the differentiation of a feeding structure, or "syncytium," facilitates the feeding and reproduction of the nematode to the detriment of the host. We used a genetic system involving a single do...

Iron is a necessary mineral for plants' biological redox system and an important component of many enzymes. In the present study, effect of iron on morphological, biochemical, and physiological properties of soybeanwere investigated. The experiments were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Analysis of the data was carried out using SPSS with multiple range Duncan t...

The present study investigated the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on germination and activity of antioxidant enzymes in soybean under oxidative stress using a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. Treatments included SA (0 and 1 mM), SNP (0, 30, and 60 µM), and H2O2 (0, 50, and 100 µM). Results sho...

Bicarbonate anion, has a very high concentration in the calcareous soil, and in fact, is the main cause of chlorosis in calcareous soils. This study was conducted to evaluate eight soybean cultivars with iron deficiency and bicarbonate presence. The present research was carried out with the aim of assessing the effect of irrigation with water containing bicarbonate on enzyme activities and Fe a...

Differences in seed storage tolerance between soybean cultivars have been frequently observed. Thus, identifying compounds found them that may be related to these differences is necessary support the selection of with seeds better potential. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate changes viability and vigor during two environments, relating antioxidant activity, production reactive oxygen species...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of heat treatment and soybean oil inclusion on protein oxidation of soy protein isolate (SPI) and of oxidized protein on redox status of broilers at an early age. METHODS SPI mixed with soybean oil (SPIO) heated at 100°C for 8 h was used to evaluate protein oxidation of SPI. A total of two hundred and sixteen 1-day-old Arbor Acres ...

Drought stress is one of the most predominant environmental factors hindering soybean productivity. Therefore, study stress-mitigating strategies, such as use biostimulants, important in order to mitigate this problem. This investigated effects an exogenous application biostimulants based on amino acids and macro- micronutrients physiological, biochemical productive responses cultivated under d...

Lack of available water in arid and semi-arid regions has a negative effect on the production of soybean (Glycine max L.). Nano zinc chelate (ZnO) has the potential to alleviate this issue through overcoming zinc deficiency and thereby improve plant function. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of ZnO application on soybean in drought stress conditions, a split-plot experiment based on ran...

This study evaluated the chemical properties (polyphenol and genistein contents) of soybean extracts obtained by biotransformation and dried by spray dryer at different conditions and their in vivo ability to inhibit 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate- (TPA-) induced biochemical alterations in the skin of hairless mice. By comparing the obtained data with that of the well-known active soybean...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of high protein (soybean protein or casein) on the balance between production of free radicals and antioxidant level in digestive organs of mice. For this purpose, male (C57BL/6J) mice were adapted to experimental diets containing soybean protein or casein with 20% (normal protein diets, NPDs) or 60% (high protein diets, HPDs), and HPDs s...
