Enzyme labeling of an antigen or an antibody helps to visualize and amplify the signal and is an important reagent used in immunoassays for the detection of a target of interest. In this research, soybean peroxidase (SBP), a less commonly used enzyme reporter, was compared in immunoassays with the two most commonly used reagents, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The enzyme-antibody conjugates were evaluated by their performance in an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) and in an indirect competitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (icCLEIA) for ractopamine (RAC). The results revealed that the more affordable SBP offers a long-lasting chemiluminescent signal, which outperformed ALP and HRP. SBP-antibody conjugate (SBP-Ab) based immunoassays produced lower limits of detection (LODs) and better accuracy in the detection of RAC in animal urine samples. Additionally, SBP-Ab has advantages in being more resistant to heat, acid and organic solvents. These results suggest that SBP could be a potentially excellent alternative to HRP and ALP for the development of immunoassay in food safety field.

The present study has evaluated different soybean genotypes to understand the salt and drought tolerance mechanisms based on physiological traits (photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll, and cell membrane stability), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase), reactive oxygen species (HO and O ), osmolytes (glycine betaine, proline, and Na/K), plant water relations (relative water content, water potential, and solute potential) and expression of related genes (, , , , , , , and ). The experiment was conducted in a two-factorial arrangement using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with genotypes as one factor and salt, drought, and control treatments as the other factor. All physiological traits, relative water content, and water potential decreased significantly in all soybean genotypes due to individual and combined treatments of drought and salt stress, with significantly less decrease in soybean genotypes G4620RX, DM45X61, and NARC-21.

Previous studies have shown that adding 450 mg/kg of ursolic acid (UA) can improve the growth performance of broilers. However, the specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to further explore whether UA promotes the growth of broilers by affecting the intestinal environment of broilers.

The aim of this work was to check the effects of five Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculants from different producers on growth, photochemical efficiency, nitrate reductase activity, amount of hydrogen peroxide, activity of catalase, non-specific peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, seed yield, and nodulation of soybean cv. 'Malaga'. We also evaluated expression of such nodulation genes as NIC1, NOD21, and NORKb.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how different dietary ratios of linseed and soybean oils affected egg quality and health in 70-week-old Jinghong laying hens, mixing them into four groups for a 4-week period with varying oil ratios.
- - No significant differences were found in egg production or overall feed intake among the groups, but the T2 group (2:1 linseed to soybean oil) exhibited higher follicle counts, and the T3 group (1:2 ratio) showed better albumen height and antioxidant enzyme activity compared to the T4 group (all soybean oil).
- - The findings indicated that a 1:2 ratio of linseed to soybean oil improved egg quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress in the
