Abstract:Glyceollins are isoflavonoid-derived metabolites produced by soybean that hold great promise in improving human and animal health due to their antimicrobial, and other medicinal properties. They play important roles in agriculture by defending soybean against one of its most destructive pathogens,Phytophthora sojae. Longstanding research efforts have focused on improving accessibility to glyceollins, yet chemical synthesis remains uneconomical. The fact that some of the key genes involved in the final step of … Show more
