Soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) pathogens and dry bean root-rot pathogens were studied taxonomically, phylogenetically, and pathologically. Detailed phenotypic comparisons of macroand microscopic features and phylogenetic analyses of multilocus DNA sequence data, including those on the nuclear ribosomal intergenic spacer region and the single copy nuclear gene translation elongation factor ...

Pot-test experiments were conducted to study the influences of mulching and fertilizing on the migration of heavy metals from soil to Vicia faba (broad bean). Semi-transparent film was used to mulch soil. Swine manure compost was mixed with soil at a rate of 50 mg kg(-1) to fertilize the soil. Broad bean was grown for several months until fruits were formed. Soils and bean parts were sampled to...

The present study explored the eco-friendly approach of utilizing plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation and foliar application of silicon (Si) to improve the physiology, growth, and yield of mung bean under saline conditions. We isolated 18 promising PGPR from natural saline soil in Saudi Arabia, and screened them for plant-growth-promoting activities. Two effective strains we...

We used hybridization techniques to demonstrate that numerous sequence homologies exist between cloned mung bean and spinach chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) restriction fragments and mtDNAs from corn, mung bean, spinach, and pea. The strongest cross-homologies are between clones derived from the ctDNA inverted repeat and mtDNA from corn and pea, although all the ctDNA clones tested hybridized to at lea...

Effects of added wheat fiber, with different levels and particle sizes, on the physicochemical properties and gel morphology of wheat starch and mung bean starch were investigated, using rapid visco analyzer (RVA), texture analyzer (TPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each starch was added with wheat fiber at 10, 20, 30 and 40% (weight basis, g/100g), and different sizes of 60, 100 and...

Mung bean has been reported to have antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. Various factors have important effects on the types and contents of plant chemical components. In order to study quality of mung bean from different light sources, mung bean seedlings were exposed to red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B). Changes in the growth paramete...

Three closely related growth regulators (G) that are present in some myrtaceous plants were examined for possible anti-transpirant effects. The bioassay material involved cuttings of mung bean and Eucalyptus rupicola. Stomatal resistance was determined by a diffusion porometer. Water loss was equated with water uptake by the cutting over a 24-hour period.In both bioassays, G reduced water loss....

Mung bean nuclease sites in supercoiled PM2 DNA at neutral pH were located by linearizing the singly-nicked circular DNA product with venom phosphodiesterase followed by restriction endonuclease mapping. The locations of the sites varied with small changes in temperature and in concentration of NaC1 or magnesium ion. Different environmental changes which affect duplex stability in the same dire...

In the villages of Prathvipura, Karguwan, and PuraBadaura in district Jhansi, Bundelkhand region, study was conducted by Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University during Kharif 2021.Total ten front line demonstrations were on Urd bean Mung 10 hectare area active participation farmers with objective improved technologies production potentials. The technology consisted varieties viz. Virat...

A pot culture experiment was conducted in mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek.) genotype PUSA Baisakhi to test the effect of sodium arsenate and thiourea (TU). Arsenic at 25 μM caused significant inhibition of growth as indicated by reduced shoot and root dry weight and reduction in photosynthetic capacity. Significant decline in ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathion...
