The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is one of the iconic pathways in metabolism. The cycle is
commonly thought of in terms of energy metabolism, being responsible for the oxidation of …

World consumption of soybean (Glycine max) in 2008 was over 221 million metric tons, with
approximately 50% of this supply coming from US production, where soybean plantings on …

Photosynthetic assimilation is remarkably altered by heat and drought, and this depends on
the individual or combined occurrence of stressors and their respective intensities and …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …

PEPC [PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) carboxylase] is a tightly controlled enzyme located at
the core of plant C-metabolism that catalyses the irreversible β-carboxylation of PEP to form …

The value of commodity soybean depends on the concentration of protein and oil in the
seeds. While seed composition is primarily genetically determined, environmental …

We used metabolic tracers and modeling to analyze the response of soil metabolism to a
sudden change in temperature from 4 to 20° C. We hypothesized that intact soil microbial …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., has been grown as a forage and as an important
protein and oil crop for thousands of years. Domestication, breeding improvements and …

The study of plant metabolism impacts a broad range of domains such as plant cultural
practices, plant breeding, human or animal nutrition, phytochemistry and green …

Soybean (Glycine max) yields high levels of both protein and oil, making it one of the most
versatile and important crops in the world. Light has been implicated in the physiology of …
