“…Minimum PA content (1.56 mg g −1 , 78.92% decrease compared to soybeans) was recorded for 5‐day germination in the treatment of 8 g kg −1 chitosan. A decrease in PA during germination was assumed to be the result of an increase in phytase activity, as reported in broad bean, chickpea, lentil and soybean sprouts . The results indicated that chitosan pre‐soaking could improve phytase activity of soybean sprout during soybean germination.…”

“…A decrease in PA during germination was assumed to be the result of an increase in phytase activity, as reported in broad bean, chickpea, lentil 32 and soybean sprouts. 33 The results indicated that chitosan pre-soaking could improve phytase activity of soybean sprout during soybean germination. However, according to a study by Khattak et al 26 regarding different light illumination on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) sprouts, PA content significantly decreased (P < 0.01) from 1.01% to 0.60% up to 48 h after sprouting, although its value increased notably with a longer sprouting time.…”

Chitosan pre-soaking can increase the hypocotyl length and fresh weight of soybean sprouts and also positively effect the content of bioactive products in sprouts, whereas phytic acid can be partially removed, thereby leading to the enhancement of product quality. Chitosan pre-soaking is an alternative technology for the production of low-cost functional foods, where the dose of chitosan is a key factor. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…These results were consistent with recent reports (Shin et al, 2013 ; Jiao et al, 2016 ), showing that EGTA and neomycin decreased anthocyanin content in Arabidopsis and soybean sprouts. It has been reported that soybean sprouts produced by soaking Ca 2+ and spraying Ca 2+ contained more isoflavone (Wang et al, 2016 ). The present study showed that Ca 2+ and calcium antagonists affect both the composition and content of anthocyanins (Table 1 ).…”

Increased Cytosolic Calcium Contributes to Hydrogen-Rich Water-Promoted Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Under UV-A Irradiation in Radish Sprouts Hypocotyls

et al. 2018

Our previous studies showed that hydrogen-rich water (HRW) promoted the biosynthesis of anthocyanin under UV-A in radish. However, molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthesis is still unclear. In this study, the role of calcium (Ca2+) in HRW-promoted anthocyanin biosynthesis in radish sprouts hypocotyls under UV-A was investigated. The results showed that a positive effect of HRW on the content of cytosolic calcium and anthocyanin accumulation, mimicking the effects of induced CaCl2. Exogenous addition of Ca2+ chelator bis (β-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) synthesis inhibitor neomycin partially reversed the facilitated effect of HRW. The positive effects of HRW on activity of anthocyanin biosynthetic-enzymes (L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, PAL; chalcone isomerase, CHI; dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, DFR and UDP glc-flavonoid 3-O-glucosyl transferase, UFGT) were reversed by EGTA and neomycin. Further tests confirmed that the upregulation of anthocyanin biosynthetic related genes induced by HRW was substantially inhibited by calcium antagonists. The possible involvement of CaM in HRW-regulated anthocyanin biosynthesis was also preliminarily investigated in this study. Taken together, our results indicate that IP3-dependent calcium signaling pathway might be involved in HRW-regulated anthocyanin biosynthesis under UV-A irradiation.

“…The composition of the ALG/CS nanoparticles included CaCl 2 , which has previously been studied for the alleviation of plant stress in dry [60] or saline [61] environments. According to Wang et al [62], exogenous application of CaCl 2 to soybean plants at a concentration of 6 mM resulted in increased quality and size of the plant, as well as increased endogenous levels of the hormones gibberellic acid and indole-acetic acid. In the case of the ALG/CS nanoparticles, the CaCl 2 concentration of 50 mM could have caused initial plant growth similar to that obtained in the treatments with GA 3 .…”

This work concerns the development of nanocarriers composed of alginate/chitosan (ALG/CS) and chitosan/tripolyphosphate (CS/TPP) for the plant growth regulator gibberellic acid (GA). ALG/CS nanoparticles with and without GA presented mean size of 450±10nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.3, zeta potential of -29±0.5mV, concentrations of 1.52×10 and 1.92×10 nanoparticles mL, respectively, and 100% encapsulation efficiency. CS/TPP nanoparticles with and without GA presented mean size of 195±1nm, PDI of 0.3, zeta potential of +27±3mV, concentrations of 1.92×10 and 3.54×10 nanoparticles mL, respectively, and 90% encapsulation efficiency. The nanoparticles were stable during 60days and the two systems differed in terms of the release mechanism, with the release depending on factors such as pH and temperature. Bioactivity assays using Phaseolus vulgaris showed that the ALG/CS-GA nanoparticles were most effective in increasing leaf area and the levels of chlorophylls and carotenoids. The systems developed showed good potential, providing greater stability and efficiency of this plant hormone in agricultural applications.
