Brief Project Summary:

In this FY21 project, alteration of chemical compositions in soybeans and their sprouts would be determined in the plants experienced heat and drought stress at the grain filling stage (R5-R6) with the special focus on the bioactive compounds identified in the FY20 project. The chemical profiles of the soybean and its sprout will be analyzed in relation to the germination rates, growth rate to produce sprout, and the anti-inflammatory activity. Results of this research will be used to assess the plasticity of the production of bioactive compounds in soybeans and establish growth conditions to maintain high anti-inflammatory activities in sprouted soybeans.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The anti-inflammatory activity of the soybean sprout is unpublished knowledge generated by PIs in the NSB funded projects in FY19 and 20. The results obtained in this FY21 project will facilitate the production of health beneficial soybean sprouts and have a potential to improve the activity. The effects of cropping conditions on the health beneficial
effects of functional foods is a novel aspect despite its importance in stable production of the foods with anticipated functions. The obtained results will also enhance our understanding of metabolism in soybeans and the effects of the growth conditions on seed quality.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
