Mechanochemical synthesis of cysteine-gum acacia intermolecular complex for multiple metal(loid) sequestration from herbal extracts
Chemosphere. 2023 Jul 21:139612. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139612. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ubiquitous heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) contamination has triggered great concern about food safety, while sequestration and separation of trace HMs from herbal extracts still calls for appropriate sorbent materials. In this work, gum acacia was modified by cysteine to form a cysteine-acacia intermolecular complex (Cys-GA complex) via facile mechanochemical synthesis, aiming at capturing multiple HMs simultaneously. Preliminary screening confirms the superiority of Cys-CA complex for both cationic and anionic HMs, and det...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1495: Investigating the Migratory Behavior of Soybean Looper, a Major Pest of Soybean, through Comparisons with the Corn Pest Fall Armyworm Using Mitochondrial Haplotypes and a Sex-Linked Marker
Henry Teran The Noctuid moth soybean looper (SBL), Chrysodeixis includens (Walker), is an economically important pest of soybean (Glycine max (Linnaeus) Merrill). Because it is not known to survive freezing winters, permanent populations in the United States are believed to be limited to the southern regions of Texas and Florida, yet its geographical range of infestations annually extend to Canada. This indicates annual migrations of thousands of kilometers during the spring and summer growing season. This behavior is like that of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), also a Noctuid that is a m...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6506: A Novel Approach to Pod Count Estimation Using a Depth Camera in Support of Soybean Breeding Applications
Paulo Flores Improving soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr.)) yield is crucial for strengthening national food security. Predicting soybean yield is essential to maximize the potential of crop varieties. Non-destructive methods are needed to estimate yield before crop maturity. Various approaches, including the pod-count method, have been used to predict soybean yield, but they often face issues with the crop background color. To address this challenge, we explored the application of a depth camera to real-time filtering of RGB images, aiming to enhance the performance of the pod-counting classification model. Additionally,...

Morpho-physiological and genetic characteristics of a salt-tolerant mutant line in soybean (Glycine max L.)
This study was conducted with the purpose of evaluating the morpho-physiological and genetic characteristics of a new salt-tolerant mutant KA-1285 developed using gamma-ray irradiation in soybean (Glycine max L.). The morphological and physiological responses of KA-1285 were compared with salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant genotypes after treatment with 150 mM NaCl for two weeks. In addition, a major salt tolerance quantitative trait locus (QTL) was identified on chromosome 3 in this study using the Daepung X KA-1285 169 F2:3 population, and a specific deletion was identified in Glyma03g171600 (Wm82.a2.v1) near the QTL regio...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 4997: Dietary Fiber from Soybean (Glycine max) Husk as Fat and Phosphate Replacer in Frankfurter Sausage: Effect on the Nutritional, Physicochemical and Nutraceutical Quality
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber from soybean (glycine max) husk as fat and phosphate replacer on the nutritional, physicochemical, and nutraceutical quality of Frankfurter sausage. A traditional formulation was used for the pork-based sausage and three treatments were established: control treatment (CT), sausage without SHDF; treatment 1 (T1), sausage and 1% SHDF; treatment 2 (T2), sausage and 1.5% SHDF. T2 showed the best nutritional contribution of the treatments, significantly favoring a lower content of fat and sodium, thus increasing the contribution of dietary fiber and ...

GSE201762 Transcriptome analysis reveals GmZF351-affected gene expression in leaf and root.
Series Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Glycine maxGmZF351 has previously been characterized as a seed preferred gene participating mainly in oil accumulation. Here we report that over-expression of GmZF351 confers drought and salt tolerance in transgenic soybean seedlings. When soybean seedlings grew to V1 stage, leaves and roots were cut for RNA sequencing. Transcriptome analysis shows that GmZF351 regulates expression of downstream genes related to abiotic stress process. (Source: GEO: Gene Expression Omnibus)

Response of soybean and maize roots and soil enzyme activities to biodegradable microplastics contaminated soil
In this study, we conducted an experiment to investigate root properties and soil enzyme activities in Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) microplastics (PBAT-MPs) contaminated soil (0 % (CK), 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.5 % and 1 % of dry soil weight) with soybean (Glycine max (Linn.) Merr.) and maize (Zea mays L.). The results show that PBAT-MP accumulation in soil negatively affects root growth, and alter soil enzyme activities, which may then constrain C/N cycling and potential yields. For soybean, the total root length, total root surface area and root biomass decreased by 34 %- 58 %, 34 %- 54 % and 25 %- 40 % at the harvest...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1254: Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Hsp40/J-Protein Family Reveals Its Role in Soybean (Glycine max) Growth and Development
. M. Siddique Junyi Gai The J-protein family comprises molecular chaperones involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Little is known about this gene family in soybean. Hence, we characterized J-protein genes in soybean, with the most highly expressed and responsive during flower and seed development. We also revealed their phylogeny, structure, motif analysis, chromosome location, and expression. Based on their evolutionary links, we divided the 111 potential soybean J-proteins into 12 main clades (I&amp;ndash;XII). Gene-structure estimation revealed that each clade had an exon-intron structur...
