The cadmium (Cd)-induced changes in protein pattern and identification of metal-stimulated polypeptides were analyzed in soybean cell suspension culture. The cell cultures were treated with various concentrations of Cd(2+) (3-10microM) for 24, 48 and 72h. The synthesis of [(35)S]-labeled proteins and their accumulation were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, whereas the identification of selected protein bands was performed by mass spectrometry. It is shown that Cd induced the appearance of the following proteins in soybean cells: superoxide dismutase, histone H2B, chalcone synthase and glutathione transferase.

Seeds are complex structures composed of three regions, embryo, endosperm, and seed coat, with each further divided into subregions that consist of tissues, cell layers, and cell types. Although the seed is well characterized anatomically, much less is known about the genetic circuitry that dictates its spatial complexity. To address this issue, we profiled mRNAs from anatomically distinct seed subregions at several developmental stages.

Nobiletin (NOB), a lipid-soluble polymethoxyflavone with potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, suffers from poor stability and pH sensitivity, limiting its bioavailability. In this study, Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized by soy protein isolate (SPI) and κ-carrageenan (KC) were developed to encapsulate and protect NOB. The emulsions, containing a 75 % medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) volume fraction, were optimized by investigating the effects of pH and KC concentration on the key properties such as the creaming index, particle size, zeta potential, microstructure, and rheology.

The limited water solubility of active compounds remains a significant challenge for efficient dermal drug delivery, particularly for BCS class IV drugs such as curcumin. This study aimed to enhance curcumin's dermal penetration using two strategies: extracellular vesicles (EVs) and plantCrystals derived from soybeans. EVs were isolated using classical methods.
