Legume is a major source of antioxidant and nutritional component that very helpful for human health. In recent years, the functional properties legume seed have received attention, particularly with respect to antioxidant, antitumor, anti-diabetic anti-cholesterol effects. The objective this study was investigate phenolic compound, flavonoid, capacity profiles five seeds.

The physical status of water in seeds has a pivotal role in determining the physiological reactions that can take place in the dry state. Using water sorption isotherms from cotyledon and axis tissue of five leguminous seeds, the strength of water binding and the numbers of binding sites have been estimated using van't Hoff analyses and the D'Arcy/Watt equation. These parameters of water sorp...

VEERISETTY, V., and M. K. BRAKKE. 1978. Purification of some legume carla viruses. Phytopathology 68:59-64. Purification schemes were developed which yielded 0.7 to single nucleoprotein component in rate-zonal sucrose and 1.0 mg of alfalfa latent virus (ALV) and pea streak virus equilibrium cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. (PSV) and 0.1 to 0.3 mg of red clover vein mosaic virus ...

is a particularly valuable source of protein with high nutritional value and functional properties. Australia and Southeast Asia are net importers of soybeans and soy products with a significant cost to the region. On the other hand, lupins offer properties comparable with soy, at less than half the cost. Although extensively used in stockfeed applications, lupins remain under-utilised in poten...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS To date chloroplast genomes are available only for members of the non-protein amino acid-accumulating clade (NPAAA) Papilionoid lineages in the legume family (i.e. Millettioids, Robinoids and the 'inverted repeat-lacking clade', IRLC). It is thus very important to sequence plastomes from other lineages in order to better understand the unusual evolution observed in this mode...

The nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium-legume partnership is presently the best understood of all host-microbe symbioses. Bacterial and plant partners signal across developmental time and space.

The potential for novel forage mixtures to address reduced herbage late season grazing was investigated. Forage legumes, sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) (SF) cvs. AC Mountainview, Shoshone, and Nova (MountainSF, ShoshoneSF, NovaSF), cicer milkvetch (Astragalus L.) cv. Veldt (CMV), Canadian canadensis Great Plains (CaMV), alfalfa (Medicago sativa Yellowhead (ALF) were evaluated in binary ...
