The genus Vigna (Fabaceae) consists of five subgenera, and includes more than 100 wild species. In Vigna, 10 crops have been domesticated from three subgenera, Vigna, Plectrotropis, and Ceratotropis. The habitats of wild Vigna species are so diverse that their genomes could harbor various genes responsible for environmental stress adaptation, which could lead to innovations in agriculture. Sinc...

Recently Boldi and Vigna proposed axioms that would characterize good notions of centrality. We study a random-walk version of closeness centrality and prove that is satisfies Boldi-Vigna axioms for non-directed graphs.

INTRODUCTION The genus Vigna Fabaceae, formerly Leguminosae, is composed of more than 200 species that are native to the warm regions of both the old world and new world. Vigna is closely related to Phaseolus, which is composed of more than 20 species that are native to warm or tropical regions of the New World. A number of species previously placed in Phaseolus are now placed in Vigna. The gen...

A number of well characterized legume lectins including the enzymic lectin from Vigna radiata were examined for immunological relatedness. The immunological cross-reactions observed indicate that most of the legume lectins, including Vigna lectin, are evolutionarily closely related proteins. The possibility that these proteins are homologs with enzymic functions is discussed.

Phylogenetic relationships in the USDA Vigna germplasm collection are somewhat unclear and their genetic diversity has not been measured empirically. To reveal interspecific phylogenetic relationships and assess their genetic diversity, 48 accessions representing 12 Vigna species were selected, and 30 gene-derived markers from legumes were employed. Some high-quality amplicons were sequenced. I...

In the present study, the aqueous extract of Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp seed was evaluated for its hepatoprotective effect on etahnol induced acute liver damage on Wistar albino rats. The degree of protection was measured by using biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxalate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin ...
