The outstanding diversity of rhizobia microsymbionts of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Mato Grosso do Sul, central-western Brazil, revealing new Rhizobium species
Arch Microbiol. 2023 Sep 2;205(9):325. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03667-w.ABSTRACTCommon bean is considered a legume of great socioeconomic importance, capable of establishing symbioses with a wide variety of rhizobial species. However, the legume has also been recognized for its low efficiency in fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Brazil is a hotspot of biodiversity, and in a previous study, we identified 13 strains isolated from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) nodules in three biomes of Mato Grosso do Sul state, central-western Brazil, that might represent new phylogenetic groups, deserving further polyphasic characterization.

Analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome reveals phenylpropanoid mechanism in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) responding to salt stress at sprout stage
In this study, transcriptome and metabolome analyses were conducted on local common bean variety under salt stress at the sprout stage for a period of 0, 12, and 24  h. Results showed that phenylpropanoid pathways (including phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism) and flavonoid pathways (including flavonoid biosynthesis and flavone and flavonol biosynthesis) played an important role in controlling responses to salt stress as evidenced by an alysis of differentially expression genes, common expression patterns, WCGNA, and differentially altered metabolites (DAMs) analyses. In addition, exploration of th...

Genome-wide analysis of the SMXL gene family in common bean and identification of karrikin-responsive PvSMXL2 as a negative regulator of PEG-induced drought stress
In this study, we identified nine orthologues of SMXL genes in common bean, which are located on six chromosomes and classified into four subgroups. Basic molecular properties, including theoretical isoelectric point (PI), molecular weight (MW), grand average of hydropathicity (GVIO), gene structure, and conserved motifs were characterized, and numerous cis-elements in promoters were predicted. The expression patterns of PvSMXL genes were found to be distinct under 10% polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress and 200 μM Cu treatments. Most PvSMXLs showed reduced expression in response to Cu treatment, whereas near...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 6222: Effect of Fermented Matrix on the Color and Stability of Strawberry and Blueberry Anthocyanins during the Storage of Fruit Yogurts and Soy-Based and Bean-Based Fruit Yogurt Alternatives
no The effect of the fermented matrix on the color and the stability of anthocyanins contained in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa D.) and highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) preparations for fruit yogurts, as well as soy-based (Glycine max L. Merr.) and bean-based (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yogurt alternatives, stored for 8 weeks, was evaluated. To produce the fermented bean matrix, germinated seeds of white and black beans were used. The obtained fermented matrices had similar pH levels, while the soy-based and black bean-based yogurt alternatives were characterized by their high content of isoflavone aglycones an...

A new laboratory method to study the impact of leaf texture on pesticide dislodgeable foliar residues (DFR)
J Environ Sci Health B. 2023 Aug 10:1-10. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2023.2236914. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPesticides are vital in meeting the challenge of feeding the rapidly increasing world population. However, it is crucial that they are used in a way that does not compromise the safety of humans or the environment. Non-dietary worker risk assessments consider the amount of residue which can be transferred from plant foliage to the skin or clothes, known as dislodgeable foliar residues (DFRs). DFR data scarcity due to the costly and seasonal characteristics of DFR studies is an obstacle to the extrapolation of DFR dat...
