Tonoplast membrane of etiolated mung bean (Vinga radiata. L.) seedlings contained H(+)-translocating pyrophosphatase (PPase). Modification of tonoplast vesicles and partially purified PPase from etiolated mung bean seedlings with arginine-specific reagents, phenylglyoxal (PGO) and 2,3-butanedione (BD), resulted in a marked decline in H(+)-translocating PPase activity. The half-maximal inhibitio...

[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of unstable support surfaces, i.e. foam pad, mung bean bag, and plastic bead bag, on postural stability disturbance. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two healthy young adults (11 male and 11 female; aged 21.09 ± 1.44 years; BMI 20.40 ± 1.40 kg/m(2)) participated in the study. The Balance Master™ was used to evaluate the limit of sta...

in order to evaluate the density, population and insect fauna diversity and agronomical yield in intercropping faba bean (vicia faba l.) andcoriander (coriandrum sativum l.), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the farm located in nagadeh, west azerbaijan province, iran during growing season in 2012-2013. treatments included 75...

Problem statement: A number of studies have recently conducted to identify novel and potent antifungal components from natural products. One of the reasons is to overcome the antifungal resistant developed against most of commercially available drugs. Studies confirmed that mung beans have increased phenolic compounds and enhanced defenses during germination. Approach: We hypothesized that anti...

The mitochondria isolated from dark-grown mung bean hypocotyls oxidize succinate, l-malate, and externally added reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) with good respiratory control. While the pattern of respiration resembles that of animal mitochondria, there are 4 basic differences between the respiratory properties of mung bean and animal mitochondria: A) the ability to oxidize NADH, B...

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of untreated mung bean (MB), germinated mung bean (GMB), and fermented mung bean (FMB) was performed on both in vitro (inhibition of inflammatory mediator, nitric oxide(NO)) and in vivo (inhibition of ear oedema and reduction of response to pain stimulus) studies. Results showed that both GMB and FMB aqueous extract exhibited potent...

Rhizobium inoculation has successfully been used for improving growth and yield of legume crops in different parts of the world. L-Tryptophan (L-TRP) application may further improve its effectiveness due to substrate-dependent inoculum-derived auxins in the rhizosphere. Rhizobium phaseoli strains were isolated using dilution plate technique from the mung bean nodules. Auxin biosynthesis by thes...

The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureus L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 111 amino acid residues and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Comparison with the amino acid sequence of wheat-germ cytochrome c (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) shows 14 differences. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes c, mun...

The effect of negative air ions on the reduction of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 inoculated onto mung bean sprout seed and whole or fresh-cut apple fruit was studied. Mung bean seeds, whole Gala apples, and Gala apple slices were inoculated with E. coli ATCC 25922 before being exposed to negative air ions for up to 18 h at room temperature (-23 degrees C). Results revealed a less than 0.5-log re...
