“…The soy grain is the world's leading source of protein and vegetable oil [1]. Nutritional benefits are due to high levels of essential amino acids and fatty acids, vitamins and minerals [2]. In addition to the extensive use of the grain in the food industry (animal and human foodstock), the soybean is also used in the production of biodiesel [3].…”

BackgroundSoybean pathogens and pests reduce grain production worldwide. Biotic interaction cause extensive changes in plant gene expression profile and the data produced by functional genomics studies need validation, usually done by quantitative PCR. Nevertheless, this technique relies on accurate normalization which, in turn, depends upon the proper selection of stable reference genes for each experimental condition. To date, only a few studies were performed to validate reference genes in soybean subjected to biotic stress. Here, we report reference genes validation in soybean during root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) parasitism and velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis) attack.FindingsThe expression stability of nine classical reference genes (GmCYP2, GmELF1A, GmELF1B, GmACT11, GmTUB, GmTUA5, GmG6PD, GmUBC2 and GmUBC4) was evaluated using twenty-four experimental samples including different organs, developmental stages, roots infected with M. incognita and leaves attacked by A. gemmatalis. Two different algorithms (geNorm and NormFinder) were used to determine expression stability. GmCYP2 and GmUBC4 are the most stable in different organs. Considering the developmental stages, GmELF1A and GmELF1B genes are the most stable. For spatial and temporal gene expression studies, normalization may be performed using GmUBC4, GmUBC2, GmCYP2 and GmACT11 as reference genes. Our data indicate that both GmELF1A and GmTUA5 are the most stable reference genes for data normalization obtained from soybean roots infected with M. incognita, and GmCYP2 and GmELF1A are the most stable in soybean leaves infested with A. gemmatalis.ConclusionsFuture expression studies using nematode infection and caterpilar infestation in soybean plant may utilize the reference gene sets reported here.

“…Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] has a unique importance in agricultural economy of the world because of its potential to supply domestic oil for human consumption and protein rich feed for animal use. Its enormous economical significance is also due to its high food value and its role in the vegetable oil industry as well as in bio-diesel production [1]. It has been explored worldwide for its inclusion in a variety of foods for human nutrition and as an important constituent for animal feed.…”

“…It is the source of various enzymes, particularly important in seed imbibition and germination. Many of these enzymes have industrial significance and due to their plant origin are more acceptable, particularly by the food industry [1]. Soybean contains 40-45 % good quality protein, 18-22 % edible oil, 20-26 % carbohydrates, minerals (Ca and P) and vitamins A, B and D [2,3].…”

“…Inoculation of soybean seeds with highly effective rhizobia is a common practice in agricultural production and performed in two different situations: (1) in soils which are depleted or contain a low indigenous rhizobial population, and (2) when there is an established but inefficient rhizobial population [6]. However, the success of this technology (inoculation) requires survival and establishment of the inoculated rhizobia in the soil environment [7].…”

“…Soybean crop has extended on worldwide scale mainly due to its inclusion in many foods but also due to its importance as forage crop (Dwevedi and Kayastha, 2011;De Bruin and Pedersen, 2008). Soybean seeds used in animal nutrition are a valuable forage since the entire plant can be used as green mass, hay or silage, alone or in mixture with other forage plants (Muntean et al, 2011).…”

Soy protein is the most inexpensive source of high-nutritional quality protein and therefore is the world's predominant commercially available vegetable protein. In order to keep this levels of fat and proteins at higher standards studies need to be develop in order to highlight the factors affecting soybean quality. The aim of our research was to analyse the variations in soybean protein and fat content and thru this to highlight the optimum management of nutrients for achieving high quality soy products. The experimental field was placed in the Agricultural Research Development Turda (ARDS) in 2013. The biological material consists in a genotype of soybean created at ARDS Turda -Felix variety. The experimental plots were installed after the subdivided parcel method and were fertilized with mineral and organic fertilizers in 4 different doses. In order to accomplish our goal we followed soy content in protein and fat under the influence of the inputs applied. Analysing the data recorded we observed a low influence of the experimental factors on soybean seeds content in fat substances. In the same time the protein content varies significantly under the influence of the technological inputs applied. The highest increases in protein content are achieved when organic fertilizer is applied. The results showed an interesting evolution of soybean chemical content under the influence of differentiated fertilization and also some interesting correlation between chemical content and some production indexes.
