DETERMINE ISOFLAVONOID INDUCTION IN LEGUMES AND THEIR PHYTOESTROGENIC EFFECTS IN ANIMAL SYSTEMS

Objective

Identify microbial interactions in legumes influencing biosynthesis of isoflavonoids with potential phytoestrogenic activities. Characterize microbial elicitors of isoflavonoid production and develop procedures to manipulate isoflavonoid levels. Test individual or combinations of isoflavonoid compounds induced by microbial elicitors for phytoestrogenic effects in animal systems.
