(11) The experiments with soja-protein showed, that most of the Cu ions dialysed (97% of total Cu2+ content) without any addition of complexing agents, pepsin, however, had a lower percentage (83% of total Cu2+ content).

(18) One-hundred-fifty restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used to identify genetic linkages in an F2 segregating population from an interspecific cross (Glycine max x Glycine soja).
(19) In some species (A. aculeatus, A. flavus, A. foetidus, A. nidulans, A. ochraceus, and A. sojae), the pyruvate carboxylase activity could be detected only in the cytosolic fraction of the cells.

Sora
Definition:

Its back is golden brown, varied with black and white, the front of the head and throat black, the breast and sides of the head and neck slate-colored. Called also American rail, Carolina rail, Carolina crake, common rail, sora rail, soree, meadow chicken, and orto.
