title: Identification of benzo[a]pyrene quinone in soybean leaves.
abstract: Soybean seeds (Glycine max) were grown in soil containing 10 ppm of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). After 76 days growth, three kinds of quinones, namely BaP-1,6-, 3,6- and 6,12-quinones, were isolated and identified. However, the formative mechanism of the quinones in leaves has yet to be determined.
