- Intervention effect Metal treatment lowered MGM and FGM levels in roots by up to 50-fold.
- Observation About 10% of the missing conjugates accumulated transiently in root treatment solution before hydrolysis.
- Intervention effect Total root and solution isoflavonoids increased slightly after CuCl2 treatment.
- Intervention effect Water immersion rapidly increased FGM and MGM in alfalfa roots.
- Intervention effect Aeration reduced the immersion-associated increase in root FGM and MGM.
- Mechanism Root immersion reduced conjugate degradation rates, explaining accumulation.
- Intervention effect CuCl2 elevated root conjugate degradation rates, with hydrolysis accounting for half of the increase.
- Mechanism Conjugate hydrolysis supplied up to 90% of formononetin and medicarpin produced after CuCl2 treatment.
