Effect of Temperature, Elevated Carbon Dioxide, and Drought during Seed Development on the Isoflavone Content of Dwarf Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merrill) Grown in Controlled Environments
2005
The effects of elevated temperature, carbon dioxide, and water stress on the isoflavone content of seed from a dwarf soybean line [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] were determined, using controlled environment chambers. Increasing the temperature from 18 °C during seed development to 23 °C decreased total isoflavone content by about 65%. A further 5 °C increase to 28 °C decreased the total isoflavone content by about 90%. Combining treatments at elevated temperature with elevated CO2 (700 ppm) and water stress to determine the possible consequences of global climate change on soybean seed isoflavone content indicated that elevated CO2 at elevated temperatures could partially reverse the effects of temperature on soybean seed isoflavone content. The addition of drought stress to plants grown at 23 °C and elevated CO2 returned the total isoflavone levels to the control values obtained at 18 °C and 400 ppm CO2. The promotive effects of drought and elevated CO2 at 23 °C on the 6‘ ‘-O-malonygenistin and genistin leve...
