Daidzein is a naturally occurring compound classified as an isoflavone, which is found in soybeans and soy products. In research, Daidzein is of interest due to its role in plant biology as a signaling molecule and its involvement in the plant′s defense mechanisms. It is frequently used in studies examining the effects of phytochemicals on plant growth and development. In the field of biochemistry, researchers investigate Daidzein′s interaction with enzymes, proteins, and receptors to elucidate its biochemical pathways and potential influences on cellular functions. Additionally, Daidzein serves as a reference compound in chromatographic and spectrophotometric assays, enabling the identification and quantification of isoflavones in dietary and environmental samples. Its role in modulating gene expression is also a subject of research, particularly in the context of plant genetics and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
