@article{Dhaubhadel2007, abstract = {We have used cDNA microarray analysis to examine changes in gene expression during embryo development in soybean (Glycine max) and to compare gene expression profiles of two soybean cultivars that differ in seed isoflavonoid content. The analysis identified 5,910 genes that were differentially expressed in both soybean cultivars grown at two different locations for two consecutive years in one of the five different stages of embryo development. An ANOVA analysis with P value {\textless} 0.05 and {\textless} 0.01 indicated that gene expression changes due to environmental factors are greater than those due to cultivar differences. Most changes in gene expression occurred at the stages when the embryos were at 30 or 70 d after pollination. A significantly larger fraction of genes (48.5{\%}) was expressed throughout the development and showed little or no change in expression. Transcript accumulation for genes related to the biosynthesis of storage components in soybean embryos showed several unique temporal expressions. Expression patterns of several genes involved in isoflavonoid biosynthesis, such as Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase, Chalcone Synthase (CHS)7, CHS8, and Isoflavone Synthase2, were higher at 70 d after pollination in both the cultivars. Thus, expression of these genes coincides with the onset of accumulation of isoflavonoids in the embryos. A comparative analysis of genes involved in isoflavonoid biosynthesis in RCAT Angora (high seed isoflavonoid cultivar) and Harovinton (low seed isoflavonoid cultivar) revealed that CHS7 and CHS8 were expressed at significantly greater level in RCAT Angora than in Harovinton. Our study provides a detailed transcriptome profiling of soybean embryos during development and indicates that differences in the level of seed isoflavonoids between these two cultivars could be as a result of differential expression of CHS7 and CHS8 during late stages of seed development. {\textcopyright} 2006 American Society of Plant Biologists.}, author = {Dhaubhadel, Sangeeta and Gijzen, Mark and Moy, Pat and Farhangkhoee, Mana}, doi = {10.1104/pp.106.086306}, issn = {0032-0889}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, month = {jan}, number = {1}, pages = {326--338}, title = {{Transcriptome Analysis Reveals a Critical Role of CHS7 and CHS8 Genes for Isoflavonoid Synthesis in Soybean Seeds}}, volume = {143}, year = {2007} } @unpublished{Ramandhani2014, address = {Bandung}, author = {Ramandhani, Mohamad Rivai}, institution = {Institut Teknologi Bandung}, title = {{Penerapan Pattern Matching dalam Penentuan Pewarisan Sifat Genetis Tetua pada Anaknya}}, url = {http://informatika.stei.itb.ac.id/{~}rinaldi.munir/Stmik/2013-2014/Makalah2013/MakalahIF2211-2013-029.pdf}, year = {2014} } @article{Cheng2016, abstract = {Background Coffee is one of the most valuable commodities exported worldwide.

Key findings and conclusions An overview of metabolism of the key components of coffee identified critical metabolic steps regulating the final concentration of metabolites that determine coffee quality. Coffee metabolism is influenced by both G and E and explains the higher quality of Arabica when compared to Robusta as well as the improvement of coffee quality by shade.

Strikingly, we found a strong enrichment of eQTLs in the 250 bp just upstream of the transcription end site (TES), in addition to an enrichment around the transcription start site (TSS). Most eQTLs lie either within genes or close to genes; for example, we estimate that only 5{\%} of eQTLs lie more than 20 kb upstream of the TSS.

Here, we describe an application of the Illumina sequencing (formerly Solexa sequencing) platform to study mRNA expression levels. Our goals were to estimate technical variance associated with Illumina sequencing in this context and to compare its ability to identify differentially expressed genes with existing array technologies. To do so, we estimated gene expression differences between liver and kidney RNA samples using multiple sequencing replicates, and compared the sequencing data to results obtained from Affymetrix arrays using the same RNA samples. We find that the Illumina sequencing data are highly replicable, with relatively little technical variation, and thus, for many purposes, it may suffice to sequence each mRNA sample only once (i.e., using one lane). The information in a single lane of Illumina sequencing data appears comparable to that in a single array in enabling identification of differentially expressed genes, while allowing for additional analyses such as detection of low-expressed genes, alternative splice variants, and novel transcripts. Based on our observations, we propose an empirical protocol and a statistical framework for the analysis of gene expression using ultra-high-throughput sequencing technology. {\textcopyright}2008 by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.}, author = {Marioni, John C. and Mason, Christopher E. and Mane, Shrikant M. and Stephens, Matthew and Gilad, Yoav}, doi = {10.1101/gr.079558.108}, issn = {10889051}, journal = {Genome Research}, pmid = {18550803}, title = {{RNA-seq: An assessment of technical reproducibility and comparison with gene expression arrays}}, year = {2008} } @article{Akada1993, author = {Akada, S. and Kung, S.

Studies in a range of C 3 annuals have also reported large positive correlations, suggesting the presence of a genetically based trade-off between mechanisms of dehydration avoidance ($\delta$ 13 C) and drought escape (early flowering).

The seed coat exhibited much higher total phenolic indexes and antioxidant activities than whole and dehulled black soybean. Dehulled black soybean possessed similar levels of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, 2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) activities as compared to whole yellow soybean. Cyanidin-3-glucoside, petunidin-3-glucoside, and peonidin-3-glucoside were detected in the seed coat but not in dehulled black soybean and yellow soybean. Among benzoic acid detected, caffeic and chlorogenic acid were the predominant phenolic acids. Whole black soybean and dehulled black soybean exhibited similar isoflavone contents in 7-O-$\beta$-glucosides and malonylglucosides of daidzein and genistein.

When measured with the DPPH and FRAP methods, the seed coat contributed 90{\%} of the total antioxidant capacity of black soybean. However, when measured with the ORAC method, the seed coat and dehulled portion contributed approximately equally the total antioxidant capacity of black soybeans.

Temperature and water regimes are two of the most significant abiotic factors. However, while the effects of temperature have been widely studied, little is known about how water scarcity might affect isoflavone concentration in seeds. Studies have shown that accumulation of isoflavones is promoted by well-watered conditions, but the molecular basis remains elusive. The length and severity of the water stress required to induce changes are also still unknown. In the present work, several intensities of water stress were evaluated at various critical stages for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed development, in both field and controlled environments. The results suggested that only long-term progressive drought, spanning most of the seed developmental stages, significantly decreased isoflavone content in seeds. The reduction is proportional to the intensity of the stress and appears to occur in a genotype-dependent manner. However, regardless of water regime, isoflavone compounds were mainly accumulated in the later seed developmental stages. Transcripts of the most important genes for isoflavone biosynthesis were also quantified from samples collected at key seed developmental stages under well-watered and long-term water deficit conditions. Expression of CHS7, CHS8 and IFS2 correlated with isoflavone accumulation under well-watered conditions. Interestingly, we found that the two isoflavone synthase genes in soybean (IFS1 and IFS2) showed different patterns of expression. The abundance of IFS1 transcripts was maintained at a constant rate, whereas IFS2 was down-regulated and highly correlated with isoflavone accumulation under both water deficit and well-watered conditions, suggesting IFS2 as a main contributor to isoflavone diminution under drought. {\textcopyright} 2010 The Author.}, author = {Gutierrez-Gonzalez, Juan J. and Guttikonda, Satish K. and Tran, Lam Son Phan and Aldrich, Donavan L. and Zhong, Rui and Yu, Oliver and Nguyen, Henry T. and Sleper, David A.}, doi = {10.1093/pcp/pcq065}, issn = {00320781}, journal = {Plant and Cell Physiology}, keywords = {Daidzein,Drought,Genistein,Isoflavone,Isoflavone synthase,Phenylpropanoid transcripts}, title = {{Differential expression of isoflavone biosynthetic genes in soybean during water deficits}}, year = {2010} } @article{Zeyl2005, abstract = {Abstract In addition to the familiar possibility of epistasis between nuclear loci, interactions may evolve between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in eukaryotic cells.

Deletions were used to define regions of the promoter required for expression in roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and flower petals of transgenic plants.

Within the intact promoter, sequences that individually confer different patterns of expression interact to produce the highly regulated expression pattern of CHS.}, author = {Fritze, Klaus and Staiger, Dorothee and Czaja, Inge and Walden, Richard and Schell, Jeff and Wing, David}, doi = {10.2307/3869153}, issn = {10404651}, journal = {Plant Cell}, title = {{Developmental and UV light regulation of the snapdragon chalcone synthase promoter}}, year = {1991} } @article{Jung2000, abstract = {Isoflavones have drawn much attention because of their benefits to human health. These compounds which are produced almost exclusively in legumes, have natural roles in plant defense and root nodulation Isoflavone synthase catalyzes the first committed step of isoflavone biosynthesis, a branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway. To identify the gene encoding this enzyme, we used a yeast expression assay to screen soybean ESTs encoding cytochrome P450 proteins. We identified two soybean genes encoding isoflavone synthase, and used them to isolate homologous genes from other leguminous species including red clover, white clover, hairy vetch, mung bean, alfalfa, lentil, snow pea, and lupine, as well as from the nonleguminous sugarbeet. We expressed soybean isoflavone synthase in Arabidopsis thaliana, which led to production of the isoflavone genistein in this nonlegume plant. Identification of the isoflavone synthase gene should allow manipulation of the phenylpropanoid pathway for agronomic and nutritional purposes.}, author = {Jung, Woosuk and Yu, Oliver and Lau, Sze Mei Cindy and O'Keefe, Daniel P. and Odell, Joan and Fader, Gary and McGonigle, Brian}, doi = {10.1038/72671}, issn = {10870156}, journal = {Nature Biotechnology}, keywords = {Cytochrome P450,Isoflavone,Phenylpropanoid}, title = {{Identification and expression of isoflavone synthase, the key enzyme for biosynthesis of isoflavones in legumes}}, year = {2000} } @article{Stranger2007, abstract = {Genetic variation influences gene expression, and this variation in gene expression can be efficiently mapped to specific genomic regions and variants. Here we have used gene expression profiling of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines of all 270 individuals genotyped in the HapMap Consortium to elucidate the detailed features of genetic variation underlying gene expression variation. We find that gene expression is heritable and that differentiation between populations is in agreement with earlier small-scale studies. A detailed association analysis of over 2.2 million common SNPs per population (5{\%} frequency in HapMap) with gene expression identified at least 1,348 genes with association signals in cis and at least 180 in trans. Replication in at least one independent population was achieved for 37{\%} of cis signals and 15{\%} of trans signals, respectively. Our results strongly support an abundance of cis-regulatory variation in the human genome. Detection of trans effects is limited but suggests that regulatory variation may be the key primary effect contributing to phenotypic variation in humans. We also explore several methodologies that improve the current state of analysis of gene expression variation. {\textcopyright} 2007 Nature Publishing Group.}, author = {Stranger, Barbara E. and Nica, Alexandra C. and Forrest, Matthew S. and Dimas, Antigone and Bird, Christine P. and Beazley, Claude and Ingle, Catherine E. and Dunning, Mark and Flicek, Paul and Koller, Daphne and Montgomery, Stephen and Tavar{\'{e}}, Simon and Deloukas, Panos and Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T.}, doi = {10.1038/ng2142}, issn = {10614036}, journal = {Nature Genetics}, title = {{Population genomics of human gene expression}}, year = {2007} } @article{Dajanta2013, abstract = {B. subtilis TN51 was inoculated in cooked black and yellow soybeans, after incubating at 42??C and 4??C for 48 h, the fermented thua nao were produced. The antioxidant capacities, total pehenolics and flavonoids of the fermented black (TN-BS) and yellow (TN-YS) soybeans were then examined as compared to their cooked non-fermented (CNF) soybeans. It was found that fermentation enhanced the increase of total phenolic and flavonoid contents (except yellow soybean fermentation) as well as antioxidant activities of anti-DPPH radicals and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the soybean extracts. The extracts of CNF black soybean and TN-BS, showed higher total phenolic content, total flavonoids, anti-DPPH radicals and lipid peroxidation inhibition than those of yellow soybean extracts. While, FRAP value was found higher in the extract of TN-YS than that in TN-BS extract. Correlation studies indicated significant (P ??? 0.01) positive correlation between the total phenolic contents and the values of FRAP in soybean extracts (r = 0.889). Whereas, the contents of total phenolics (r = -0.731) and flavonoids (r = -0.709) were negatively correlated (P ??? 0.01) with IC50 of DPPH radical-scavenging activity. Also, a significant negative correlation (P ??? 0.01, r = -7.39) was demonstrated between the total flavonoid contents and IC50 of lipid peroxidation inhibition.
