Vector species, pasture legume host range, and impact on grain legumes of an Australian soybean dwarf virus isolate
AbstractSoybean dwarf virus (SbDV; familyTombusviridae, genusLuteovirus, speciesSoybean dwarf virus) can cause damaging disease epidemics in cultivated plants of the family Fabaceae. The biological characteristics of SbDV isolate WA-8, including its vector species, host range, and impact on Australian grain legume cultivars, were investigated in a series of glasshouse experiments. Isolate WA-8 was classified as the YP strain, as it was transmitted byAcyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid) andMyzus persicae (green peach aphid) and infected known strain indicator species. Of the 18 pasture legume species inoculated with SbDV, 12 wer...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 8995: Comparative Metabolomic Profiling Reveals Key Secondary Metabolites Associated with High Quality and Nutritional Value in Broad Bean (Vicia faba L.)
eng-Wei Qiu High quality and nutritional benefits are ultimately the desirable features that influence the commercial value and market share of broad bean (Vicia faba L.). Different cultivars vary greatly in taste, flavor, and nutrition. However, the molecular basis of these traits remains largely unknown. Here, the grain metabolites of the superior Chinese landrace Cixidabaican (CX) were detected by a widely targeted metabolomics approach and compared with the main cultivar Lingxiyicun (LX) from Japan. The analyses of global metabolic variations revealed a total of 149 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) were i...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7468: Development and Validation of a Reversed-Phase HPLC Method with UV Detection for the Determination of L-Dopa in Vicia faba L. Broad Beans
Maria Assunta Acquavia L-Dopa (LD), a substance used medically in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, is found in several natural products, such as Vicia faba L., also known as broad beans. Due to its low chemical stability, LD analysis in plant matrices requires an appropriate optimization of the chosen analytical method to obtain reliable results. This work proposes an HPLC-UV method, validated according to EURACHEM guidelines as regards linearity, limits of detection and quantification, precision, accuracy, and matrix effect. The LD extraction was studied by evaluating its aqueous stability over 3 mo...

Vicia faba seed: a bioindicator of phytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity of light crude oil
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Oct 20. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-23244-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCrude oil contamination is a serious threat to the environment and human health as it can contaminate food chains. Therefore, it is necessary to find efficient tests to monitor soils for crude oil contamination. The present study investigates the efficacy of Vicia faba seeds for monitoring contaminated soils with light crude oil. Vicia faba seeds were planted in 0 (control), 1, 2, and 4 percentages (weight percentage) light crude oil-contaminated soils. The seed germination and root length were measured to evaluate phyto...

Genes, Vol. 13, Pages 1877: Wild Vicia Species Possess a Drought Tolerance System for Faba Bean Improvement
This study was conducted to characterize wild relatives of faba bean for identification of a specific tolerance system required for its improvement against drought stress. The study focused on physiological, biochemical, and anatomical responses of wild Vicia species under drought stress conditions. The experiment was carried out under various levels of drought stress imposed through different field capacities (FC) which included 80% FC ie (well-watered condition), 55% FC (moderate stress), and 30% FC (severe stress). When compared to plants grown in a control environment, drought stress significantly reduced the studied p...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 5708: Investigation of Photosystem II Functional Size in Higher Plants under Physiological and Stress Conditions Using Radiation Target Analysis and Sucrose Gradient Ultracentrifugation
Mattoo The photosystem II (PSII) reaction centre is the critical supramolecular pigment–protein complex in the chloroplast which catalyses the light-induced transfer of electrons from water to plastoquinone. Structural studies have demonstrated the existence of an oligomeric PSII. We carried out radiation inactivation target analysis (RTA), together with sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation (SGU) of PSII, to study the functional size of PSII in diverse plant species under physiological and stress conditions. Two PSII populations, made of dimeric and monomeric core particles, were revealed in Pisum sativu...
