Glyceollins, one of the inducible phytoalexins produced by plants, were induced in a number of varieties of Korean soybean through fungal infection. Of the tested soybean varieties, Tae-Kwang, though not the most productive, was found to be currently the most suitable for the induction of glyceollins. Amongst the fungal species, Rhizopus microsporus var. oligosporus was seen to be the most effective elicitor. Halved soybean seeds produced glyceollins upon fungal infection; however, chopped soybeans and homogenized soybeans did not produce significant quantities of glyceollins.

Article Synopsis
- Previous studies show that synthetic glyceollins I and II have antiestrogenic and antiproliferative effects on breast cancer cells through various pathways.
- This study explored the antitumor effects of glyceollins derived from fermented soybean extracts in vivo, finding significant reductions in cell migration and estrogen-dependent tumor growth in both chick eggs and nude mice.
- The results indicate that natural glyceollins may reduce tumor angiogenesis and volume, suggesting their potential as therapies for breast cancer.

Soybean, a crucial global leguminous crop, confronts persistent threats from diverse pathogens, exerting a profound impact on global yields. While genetic dimensions of soybean-pathogen interactions have garnered attention, the intricate biochemical responses remain poorly elucidated. In this study, we applied targeted and untargeted liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolite profiling to dissect the complex interplay between soybeans and five distinct pathogens.

Overexpression of NorA efflux pumps plays a pivotal role in the multidrug-resistance mechanism in S. aureus. Here, we investigated the activities of prenylated isoflavonoids, present in the legume plant family (Fabaceae), as natural efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) in fluoroquinolone-resistant S.

Apart from the physiological functions of soybean phytoalexins, the production sites in soybeans remain unknown. In this study, the dynamic production of phytoalexins, glyceollins, in germinating soybeans inoculated with was visually investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) imaging. During a 3-day sensitization using a fungus, glyceollins I-III were produced in germinating soybeans (from 0.

Mildew severely reduces soybean yield and quality, and pods are the first line of defence against pathogens. Maize-soybean intercropping (MSI) reduces mildew incidence on soybean pods; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Changing light (CL) from maize shading is the most important environmental feature in MSI.
