- Intervention effect Total flavonoid content in 2-day-old soybeans increased by 11.2% under UV-B with GABA compared with UV-B alone.
- Intervention effect Total flavonoid content in 4-day-old soybeans increased by 6.7% under UV-B with GABA compared with UV-B alone.
- Intervention effect GABA under UV treatment increased cinnamic acid-4-hydroxylase activity by 18.5% in four-day-old soybean compared with UV treatment alone.

- Intervention effect The GABA inhibitor 3-mercaptopropionic acid blocked the GABA-induced increases in soybeans.
- Intervention effect Soybean treated with the GABA inhibitor showed the opposite fluorescence intensity trend.
- Mechanism GABA could operate as a signaling molecule mediating isoflavone accumulation in soybean sprouts under UV radiation.
- Intervention effect GABA is suggested to stimulate soybean sprout growth.
