Assessment on the Fermentation Quality and Bacterial Community of Mixed Silage of Faba Bean With Forage Wheat or Oat
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.), although a kind of high-quality and high-yield forage, could hardly achieve a great quality of silage because of its high buffering capacity. Mixed silage of faba bean with forage wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) or oat (Avena sativa L.) at different ratios could improve the fermentation quality and bacterial community. Compared with 100% faba bean silage (BS), mixed silage improved the fermentation quality, not only increased lactic acid production and reduced pH, but reduced the production of propionic acid and ammonia nitrogen. The chemical compositions of faba bean with forage wheat (BT) mixed si...

Genes, Vol. 13, Pages 794: Development and Application of a Target Capture Sequencing SNP-Genotyping Platform in Rice
Kyung-Hwan Kim
Hyeonso Ji
The development of efficient, robust, and high-throughput SNP genotyping platforms is pivotal for crop genetics and breeding. Recently, SNP genotyping platforms based on target capture sequencing, which is very flexible in terms of the number of SNP markers, have been developed for maize, cassava, and fava bean. We aimed to develop a target capture sequencing SNP genotyping platform for rice. A target capture sequencing panel containing 2565 SNPs, including 1225 SNPs informative for japonica and 1339 SNPs informative for indica, was developed. This platform was used in diversity analysis o...

Incorporating G6PD genotyping to identify patients with G6PD deficiency
Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a common X-linked enzyme disorder associated with hemolytic anemia after exposure to fava beans or certain medications. Activity testing is the gold standard for detecting G6PD deficiency; however, this test is affected by various hematologic parameters. Clinical G6PD genotyping is now included in pharmacogenetic arrays and clinical sequencing efforts and may be reconciled with activity results. Patients (n = 1391) enrolled on an institutional pharmacogenetic testing protocol underwent clinical G6PD genotyping for 164 G6PD variants. An algorithm accounting for known in...

The story of levodopa: A long and arduous journey
Kalyan B BhattacharyyaAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2022 25(1):124-130
Levodopa (L-dopa) is the gold standard in the management of Parkinson's disease (PD). It dates back to 1500 to 1000 BC when it was used in the Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese system of medicine. Certain beans such as velvet beans and broad beans contain L-dopa. The plant Mucuna pruriens (Mp) or velvet bean, cultivated in Eastern India and Southern China, contains L-dopa at a concentration of 5% and was used for the management of PD. Later, workers have documented the neuroprotective, neurorestorative, and immunomodulatory pro...

Advances in disease and pest resistance in faba bean
Theor Appl Genet. 2022 Feb 19. doi: 10.1007/s00122-021-04022-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFaba bean (Vicia faba) is a grain legume crop widely cultivated in temperate areas for food and feed. Its productivity can be constrained by numerous diseases and pests that can be managed by a number of strategies, complemented with the deployment of resistant cultivars in an integrated manner. Few sources of resistance are available to some of them, although their phenotypic expression is usually insufficiently described, and their genetic basis is largely unknown. A few DNA markers have been developed for resistance to rust, as...

Identification of a novel alphaendornavirus from Lonicera maackii
AbstractA new alphaendornavirus, tentatively named “Lonicera maackii alphaendornavirus” (LmEV), was identified in aLonicera maackii plant in Beijing, China, with leaf abnormality of interveinal chlorosis, and its complete genome sequence was determined using small-RNA deep sequencing. The RNA genome of LmEV is 16,176 nt in length and contains a large open reading frame encoding a polyprotein of 5363 aa with conserved domains including a cysteine-rich region, a viral helicase, and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Sequence comparisons showed that LmEV shared the highest nt and aa sequence identity with Vicia faba alphaen...

Cover Crop Species Composition Alters the Soil Bacterial Community in a Continuous Pepper Cropping System
Cover crops can improve soil biological health and alter the composition of soil microbial communities in agricultural systems. However, the effects of diversified cover crops on soil microbial communities in continuous cropping systems are unclear. Here, using different soil biochemical analysis, quantitative PCR and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, we investigated the effects of cover crops, alone or in mixture, on soil physicochemical properties in 2019 and 2020, and soil bacterial communities in 2020 in a continuous pepper cropping system. A field trial was established before pepper planting and eight treatments were incl...

Rhizobium sophorae is the dominant rhizobial symbiont of Vicia faba L. In North China
In this study, rhizobia that nodulated faba bean grown in soils from three sites in North China (Hebei Province) were isolated and characterized. Firstly, isolates were categorized into genotypes by ribosomal IGS PCR-RFLP analysis, then representatives of the different IGS genotypes were further identified by phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA, housekeeping (atpD, recA) and nodulation (nodC) gene sequences. Rhizobial distribution based on the IGS genotype was related to the different soil physicochemical features by redundancy analysis. IGS typing and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA and concatenated housekeeping gene sequ...
