The antioxidant and atherogenic effects of naturally occurring compounds (soya isoflavones) and of the synthetic organic compounds of selenium (selenopyran and dimethyl-pyrosalyl-selenide) on the primary cell culture of human aortic subendothelial intima and on macrophage cell culture were investigated. Our results suggest that soya isoflavones exhibit mainly antiatherogenic effect and organic compounds of selenium exhibit mainly antioxidant effect.

Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous crop cultivated worldwide that accumulates high levels of isoflavones. Although previous research has often focused on increasing the soybean isoflavone content because of the estrogen-like activity of dietary soy in humans, the rapidly increasing demand for soybean as a plant-based meat substitute has raised concerns about excessive isoflavone intake. Therefore, the production of isoflavone-free soybean has been anticipated.

Inhibiting pathogen chemotaxis is a promising strategy for reducing disease pressure. However, this strategy is currently in the proof-of-concept stage. Here, was used as a model, as its biflagellated zoospores could sense genistein, a soybean root exudate, to navigate host and initiate infection.

Millions of men and women suffer from alopecia, especially androgenic alopecia (AGA), which is considered the most common form of hair loss. The available treatments for hair loss include multiple approaches, with the most popular being synthetic drugs including minoxidil and finasteride, in addition to natural products. However, synthetic drugs have shown many undesirable side effects, on the contrary, the specifications of the commonly used natural drugs have not been reported in most of the previous studies, despite the high market preference for them.

We herein investigated the effects of salt (NaCl) stress on soybean nodulation by rhizobial strains. We specifically exami-ned: (1) the effects of NaCl on nodule maturity and positioning by inoculating three rhizobial strains (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110, Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA31, and Sinorhizobium fredii USDA191) onto soybean variety CNS, (2) the effects of the NaCl treatment on isoflavones (daidzein and genistein) secretion by CNS, (3) the effects of the NaCl treatment on gene expression induced by daidzein and genistein in rhizobia, and (4) the effects of the NaCl treatment on rhizobial growth. The results obtained were as follows: (1) the NaCl treatment delayed nodule development and reduced nodulation on the primary root following the USDA110 inoculation, minimal sensitivity regarding nodule formation in the USDA 31 inoculation, and significantly increased the mature nodule number and nodules on the primary root following the USDA 191 inoculation.

Article Synopsis
- The dQTG.seq model helped identify 100 marker sites related to the phenotypic plasticity of soybean isoflavone content, including 27 transcription factors crucial for this trait.
- Overexpression of the GmERF7 gene under stressful conditions (like low temperature, salt, and drought) confirmed its key role in regulating isoflavone levels in soybeans.
- The study highlights how environmental factors affect isoflavone content in different soybean varieties, emphasizing the importance of GmERF7 in helping soybeans adapt to stressful environments through increased phenotypic plasticity.
