Abstract
It is well established that isoflavone contents vary considerably in seeds, roots, leaves, and other plant parts depending on the genotype, environmental factors, growth conditions, and seed developmental stages. In this chapter, we summarized the effects of environmental and growth conditions including temperature, light, rainfall, seed storage, seed size, water availability, growing season, soil conditions, presence or absence of elicitors, nitrogen application, irrigation, row spacing, and other environmental factors on isoflavone contents. Few other studies showed that isoflavones accumulate in soybean seeds due to biotic stresses from pathogen infections from bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
