RESUMOO uso da soja [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] na alimentação humana tem encontrado dificuldades devido ao seu sabor característico (beany flavor), que é derivado da ação das lipoxigenases (EC 1.13.11.12). Ao contrário das lipoxigenases de sementes de soja, que têm sido extensivamente estudadas, a diversidade e características das lipoxigenases de folhas não estão totalmente elucidadas. Sabe-se que além de sua atividade catalítica, as lipoxigenases de folhas estão envolvidas no armazenamento temporário de nitrogênio e na resposta da planta ao estresse. Com o objetivo de investigar o efeito da remoção dos primórdios florais na atividade das lipoxigenases de folhas de soja, foram utilizados dois genótipos de soja: IAC-100, uma variedade com presença de lipoxigenases na semente e IAC-100 TN, uma linhagem com ausência completa de lipoxigenases na semente. Por meio de dados da cinética enzimática, foram constatados dois picos mais acentuados de atividade em pH 5,0 e 6,5, com temperatura ótima de 25ºC. Para ambos os genótipos, as atividades foram maiores nos tratamentos que nos respectivos controles. Os valores de KM app aos 16 dias, nas plantascontrole, foram semelhantes para os dois genótipos, sugerindo não haver influência da manipulação genética das lipoxigenases na semente em relação à expressão dos genes que codificam as lipoxigenases de folhas. No entanto, os valores de K M app foram diferentes entre a fase vegetativa e a reprodutiva, em ambos genótipos, indicando pools distintos de isoenzimas lipoxigenases entre as duas fases.Termos para indexação: Folhas de soja, lipoxigenase, parâmetros cinéticos, proteína vegetativa, estresse, Glycine max. ABSTRACTThe use of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] as human food has been encountered difficulties due to beany flavor. The beany flavour is originated from lipoxygenases (EC 1.13.11.12). Soybean seed lipoxygenases have been extensively studied, however, the diversity and characteristics of lipoxygenases present in leaves are still being studied. Besides its catalytic activity, lipoxygenases from soybean leaves have been implicated in temporary nitrogen storage and response to stress. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effect of floral primordial elimination (sink deprivation) on soybean leaves lipoxygenases activity. Two different genotypes differing in the presence (IAC-100) or absence (IAC-100 TN) of LOX in their seeds were used. The enzymatic kinetics analysis showed two pronounced peaks of activity at pH 5 and 6.5, with optimal temperature of 25ºC. The K M app values were similar for both genotypes suggesting that there was not effect of genetic manipulation of seeds lipoxygenases on genes expression that code for leave lipoxygenases. However, the K M app values were different between the vegetative and reproductive development stage, suggesting that there are differents pool of lipoxygenases between the two stages.
