A new isoflavone derivative compound (psoralenone) was isolated from soybean inoculated with a marine fungus C23-3, together with seven known compounds including isoflavones -, butyrolactone I () and blumenol A (). Their structures were elucidated by MS, NMR, and ECD. Psoralenone displayed moderate anti-inflammatory activity in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 cell model. Compound (genistein) showed moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity whereas compounds (biochanin A), (psoralenol), and exhibited potent larvicidal activity against brine shrimp. Compounds (daidzein), (4'-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyisoflavone), and - showed broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity, and compound also showed moderate 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity.

Subtilases (SBTs), known as serine proteases or phytoproteases in plants, are crucial enzymes involved in plant development, growth, and signaling pathways. Despite their recognized importance in other plant species, information regarding their functional roles in cultivated peanut ( L.) remains sparse.

Legumes have the capability to form nodules that facilitate symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) with rhizobia. Given the substantial energy consumption during the process of SNF, legumes need to optimize nodule number in response to everchanging environmental scenarios. The TGACG BINDING FACTOR1/4 (TGA1/4) are key players in the basal immune response of plants.

This study employed electronic nose technology to assess the mold levels in soybeans, conducting analyses on artificially inoculated soybeans with five strains of fungi and distinguishing them from naturally moldy soybeans. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to evaluate inoculated and naturally moldy samples. The results revealed that the most influential sensor was W2W, which is sensitive to organic sulfur compounds, followed by W1W (primarily responsive to inorganic sulfur compounds), W5S (sensitive to small molecular nitrogen oxides), W1S (responsive to short-chain alkanes such as methane), and W2S (sensitive to alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones).

Hairy vetch ( Roth), a leguminous plant with nitrogen-fixing ability, is used as a cover crop and has the potential to suppress weeds and plant diseases. The microbial composition, particularly fungal endophytes, which may be related to the beneficial functions of this crop, has not been previously studied. In this study, we analyzed the diversity and function of culturable fungal endophytes associated with hairy vetch from eight locations across Japan.
