Effects of leaf and pod removal on changes in dry weight and on the contents of soluble sugar, starch, protein and oil in leaves and seeds of soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] cultivar ‘Hwangkeumkong’ were measured at the research farm of Korea University in 1992. The upper 40% and lower 60% of leaves and pods were subjected to treatments at the growth stage of beginning pod(R3). Upper leaf-lower pod removal showed the highest leaf and the lowest seed dry weights. Soluble sugar content was no different among treatments in leaves and seeds. The highest starch content was found in leaves of upper leaf-lower pod removal. Protein content was higher in lower leaves than upper leaves and the lowest in seeds of lower leaf-upper pod removal which had the highest oil content in leaves and seeds. These results apparently indicated that photoassimilates were mobilized from upper leaves to lower seeds, and protein sources were moved from lower to upper parts but weak in remobilization from leaves for the long distance translocation during the reproductive growth period.

The applicability of non-destructive near infrared reflectance spectroscopic (NIRS) method was tested to determine the protein and oil contents of intact soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds. A total of 198 soybean calibration samples and 101 validation samples were used for NIRS equation development and validation, respectively. In the developed non-destructive NIRS equation for analysis of protein and oil contents, the most accurate equation was obtained at 2, 8, 6, 1(2nd derivative, 8 nm gap, 6 points smoothing, and 1 point second smoothing) and 2, 1, 20, 10 math treatment conditions with Standard Normal Variate and Detrend (SNVD) scatter correction method and entire spectrum (400-2500 nm) by using Modified Partial Least Squares (MPLS) regression, respectively. Validation of these non-destructive NIRS equations showed very low bias (protein: 0.060%, oil: -0.017%) and standard error of prediction (SEP, protein: 0.568 %, oil : 0.451 %) as well as high coefficient of determination ($R^2$, protein: 0.927, oil: 0.906). Therefore, these non-destructive NIRS equations can be applicable and reliable for determination of protein and oil content of intact soybean seeds, and non-destructive NIRS method could be used as a mass screening technique for selection of high protein and oil soybean in breeding programs.

The effects of leaf and pod removal on variation of nodal sink components in determinate soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar 'Danyeobkong' were measured at the experiment field of Chonbuk Provincial Rural Development Administration in 1991. Contrary to the conventional numbering system, node order in this experiment was numbered from top to bottom node. The leaves and pods of main stem from terminal to 5th node, below 6th node, or branches were removed at the growth stage of beginning pod(R3). In the leaf removal treatment, number and weight of pod and seed were highly decreased in upper part leaf removal, especially in removed part. In the pod removal treatment, number and weight of pod and seed were slightly increased in the other part. Cracked seed coat ratios were also high in the leaf removal treatment compared with control but low in the pod removal treatment.

This study was carried out to investigate the specific activity fo peroxidase(POD) in conjunction with the phytotoxic effect of the tolerant soybean(Glycine max Merr.) and the susceptible crabgrass(Digitaria adscendens(L.) Scopol.) to acifluorfen. The POD activity increased during the growth of soybean and crabgrass seedlings. But after the foliar application of acifluorfen, the POD activity in the treated leaves was considerably higher than in controlled leaves, suggesting that soybean had higher tolerance to acifluorfen with growth. All the treated soybeans recovered from herbicidal injury in 14 days after treatment, while all the treated crabgrasses were dead with extreme necrosis and leaf burning. It was measured that the POD activity of crabgrass increased abruptly in 1 to 2 days after treatment and then significantly decreased in 5 days.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammatory response and dysregulation of immune function. The severity of US has been influenced by environmental factors and food habit. The immune modulatory, anti-inflammatory and steroidal medicine have been used for the treatment of UC. However, long-term administration of those medicine is accompanied with side-effect. So, it is necessary to develop the non side-effect medicine using natural product. Prebiotics influences intestinal condition and food consumption. The heredity, immunity and environmental condition are related with occurrence of UC. In recent study, UC patients had lower level of prebiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium compared with healthy people. Also, previous study announced that imbalance of enteric flora aggravates the severity of UC. The effectiveness of probiotics might affect colon ability and viable bacteria also could promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics, such as herbal medicine, could lead to balance of intestinal bacteria or increase beneficial bacteria. So, proper choice of herbal medicine could control the intestinal condition. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mixture of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC in vivo. The synbiotics consist of Lactobacillus buchneri, Polymnia sonchifolia and Glycine max Merr. in this study. To evaluate the effect of synbiotics, 3% DSS was administered in BALB/c mice and synbiotics was daily administered for experimental days. The administration of synbiotics regulated colon length shortening, body weight change and disease activity index effectively. Also, extract of synbiotics upregulated survival ability of Lactobacillus buchneri in gut condition. These results suggest that mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, called as synbiotics, could influence intestinal condition also regulate the colon disease. Synbiotics might be a therapeutic agent for treatment of UC.

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a representative food resource. To preserve the integrity of soybean, it is necessary to protect soybean yield and seed quality from threats of various pests and diseases. Riptortus pedestris is a well-known insect pest that causes the greatest loss of soybean yield in South Korea. This pest not only directly reduces yields but also causes disorders and diseases in plant growth. Unfortunately, no resistant soybean resources have been reported. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the distribution and movement of Riptortus pedestris at an early stage to reduce the damage caused by insect pests. Conventionally, the human eye has performed the diagnosis of agronomic traits related to pest outbreaks. However, due to human vision's subjectivity and impermanence, it is time-consuming, requires the assistance of specialists, and is labor-intensive. Therefore, the responses and behavior patterns of Riptortus pedestris to the scent of mixture R were visualized with a 3D model through the perspective of artificial intelligence. The movement patterns of Riptortus pedestris was analyzed by using time-series image data. In addition, classification was performed through visual analysis based on a deep learning model. In the object tracking, implemented using the YOLO series model, the path of the movement of pests shows a negative reaction to a mixture Rina video scene. As a result of 3D modeling using the x, y, and z-axis of the tracked objects, 80% of the subjects showed behavioral patterns consistent with the treatment of mixture R. In addition, these studies are being conducted in the soybean field and it will be possible to preserve the yield of soybeans through the application of a pest control platform to the early stage of soybeans.

Eight triterpenoids, six lanostanes 1-6, one lupenane 7, and one oleanane 8, were isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionation of the ethylacetate extract from roots of Glycine max (L.) Merr. All isolated compounds were examined for their inhibitory activities against human ACAT-1 (hACAT-1) and human ACAT-2 (hACAT-2). Among them, three triterpenoids showed potent hACAT inhibitory activities, (24R)-ethylcholest-5-ene-3,7-diol (1) and 3b -hydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (7) exhibited more potent inhibitory activity against hACAT-1 (1: IC50 = 25.0 1.2 and 7: IC50 = 11.5 0.4 m M) than hACAT-2 (1: IC50 = 102.0 5.4 and 7: IC50 = 33.9 3.7 m M), respectively. Interestingly, 5a ,8a -epidioxy-24(R)-methylcholesta-6,22-diene-3b -ol (4) has proven to be a specific inhibitor against hACAT-1 (IC50 = 38.7 0.8 m M) compared to hACAT-2 (IC50 >200). In conclusion, this is the first study to demonstrate that triterpenoids of G. max have potent inhibitory activities against hACAT-1 and hACAT-2.

In soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seeds, phosphorus (P) is primarily stored in the form of phytate, which is generally indigestible by monogastric animals such as human, pig, poultry, and fish. Thus, this study was conducted to isolate soybean mutants with high available P. Inorganic P content was assessed in a total of 1,266 ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) $M_4$ lines from the Pungsannamul cultivar. Among the tested lines, four EMS lines (PE379, PE432, PE2205, and PE2503) showed higher mean inorganic P ($1.21-1.56gkg^{-1}$) than did the Pungsannamul cultivar ($0.90gkg^{-1}$). Additionally, six EMS lines (PE718, PE828, PE1466, PE1552, PE3378, and PE3386) showed lower mean inorganic P ($0.38-0.60gkg^{-1}$). The high inorganic P mutants isolated in this study will be further investigated for phytate and total P levels. Moreover, the high and low inorganic P lines will be utilized in a future study of the biochemical pathway of phytate.
