Estimatiom of the effect of plasma and radio wave treatment of seeds on the content of isoflavones in soybean leaves (Glycine max L.)

Abstract

 The effect of treatment of seeds with a high-frequency (HF) electromagnetic field and HF plasma on the qualitative and quantitative composition of isoflavones in the leaves of soybeans in the phases of branching, flowering and seed filling has been studied.It was found that the treatment of soybean seeds leads to a change in the quantitative content of isoflavone aglycones in the leaves, but does not affect their qualitative composition. The maximum content of daidzein was found in the flowering phase when the seeds were treated with an electromagnetic field, genistein ‒ in the branching phase, while a particularly high content of this component was found in plants whose seeds were treated with plasma.
