Effects of lipoxygenase I-B (LOX)-catalyzed oxidation of linoleic acid on soybean proteins was evaluated by electron spin resonance (ESR) and fluorescence spectroscopy in different model systems in the presence or absence of antioxidants. A strong central singlet signal was detected by ESR spectroscopy and identified as the carbon radical (g value range 2.0041-2.0054). A downfield shoulder attributed to the sulfur radical (g value 2.019-2.028) was also observed. The changes in soybean proteins were accompanied by an increase in fluorescence, indicating the formation of cross-links. Natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol as well as synthetic antioxidants butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) inhibited the development of both the free radical signal and the fluorescence when added to soybean proteins prior to incubation with linoleic acid and lipoxygenase I-B; the central singlet signal attributed to the carbon radical was reduced by 35-65%. This paper clearly indicates direct free radical transfer from oxidizing linoleic acid catalyzed by LOX to soybean proteins.

Background: The family of membrane-bound fatty acid desaturase () genes play a vital role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The seed-borne pathogen causes seed decay disease during pre-harvest and post-harvest stages of soybean, leading to a significant reduction in yield and quality. Therefore, it is very meaningful to characterize the diversity and function of the gene family in soybean and to elucidate their roles in seed resistance to
Results: In this study, 30 full-length genes were identified from the soybean genome.

Unlabelled: (soybean) is a highly protein-rich legume that also contains oils and vitamins. Unfortunately, soybean faces many biotic and abiotic stresses including heat, drought, pests, wounds, infections, and salinity, which limits the crop productivity. Among these, mechanical wounding (MW) causes significant harm to plants, creates a passage for invading pathogens, and disrupts plant metabolism.

We developed a set of GATEWAY vectors to accelerate gene function analysis in soybean composite plants to rapidly screen transgenic roots and investigate subcellular localization, protein-protein interactions, and root-pathogen interactions. The generation of transgenic plants is essential for plant biology research to investigate plant physiology, pathogen interactions, and gene function. However, producing stable transgenic plants for plants such as soybean is a laborious and time-consuming process, which can impede research progress.

Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a significant alternative to meat, with its primary raw materials being soybeans, peas, rice, and wheat proteins. While advancements in technology have successfully replicated the unique texture of meat in plant-based proteins, research on the aroma profiles of these key raw materials remains limited. The subtle differences in aroma between meat and meat substitutes are yet to be fully addressed.

As the main processing by-product of soybeans, the soybean meal has received increasing attention for its abundant proteins and nutritional values. However, most soybean meal is currently restricted to coarse livestock feed and lacks attention to its potential functional activities. This study aimed to explore the antioxidant activity and cytoprotective mechanism of bioactive peptides from soybean meal using a combined in vitro and in silico approach.
