FIGURE 1.

Schematic representation of probable role of miRNA during isoflavonoid biosynthetic pathway in soybean seed. Text in blue color represents key metabolites of the isolavonoid pathway. Enzymes targeted by newly identified soybean miRNAs are highlighted by red line. Dotted line represents unclear role of miRNA in the pathway. Reaction catalyzed by the same type of enzyme is shown with same color while other enzymes are mentioned in black color. The competing pathways that share the naringenin and daidzein substrate are in black color. FNS, flavone synthase; F3H, flavone 3-hydroxylase; FLS, flavonol synthase; DFR, dihydroflavonol reductase; ANS, Anthocyanidin synthase; LAR, Flavon-3,4diol 4-reductase.
