Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1732: Effect of the Drying Method and Storage Conditions on the Quality and Content of Selected Bioactive Compounds of Green Legume Vegetables
This study aimed to determine the effect of the drying method (freeze-drying, air-drying), storage period (12 months), and storage conditions (2–4 °C, 18–22 °C) applied to two legume species: green beans and green peas. The raw and dried materials were determined for selected physical parameters typical of dried vegetables, contents of bioactive components (vitamin C and E, total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, β-carotene, and total polyphenols), antioxidative activity against the DPPH radical, and sensory attributes (overall quality and profiles of color, te...

Identification of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Isozymes in Plant Tissues
Methods Mol Biol. 2024;2798:205-212. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3826-2_14.ABSTRACTSuperoxide and hydrogen peroxide are reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in the oxidation of multiple biological molecules and the signaling processes during plant growth and stress response. Thus, control of ROS is fundamental for cell survival and development, with superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1, SOD) being one of the main enzymes involved. Different isoforms of SOD catalyze the dismutation of superoxide (O2.-) to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2), such as Mn-SODs, Cu,Zn-SODs, and Fe-SODs. Using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel e...

Enhancing Pisum sativum growth and symbiosis under heat stress: the synergistic impact of co-inoculated bacterial consortia and ACC deaminase-lacking Rhizobium
This study highlights the potential of non-rhizobial endophytes to improve symbiotic performance of rhizobial strains lacking genetic mechanisms to mitigate stress effects on their legume host, holding promising potential to enhance the growth and yield of targeted legumes by boosting symbiosis.PMID:38573536 | DOI:10.1007/s00203-024-03943-3 (Source: Archives of Microbiology)

How does ionizing radiation affect amyloidogenesis in plants?
CONCLUSION: Our data hinted that protein accumulation stimulated seedlings' growth as well as accelerated ontogenesis and, eventually, senescence, primarily through translation and RNA processing. The increased abundance of primary metabolism-related proteins indicates more intensive metabolic processes triggered in germinating pea seeds upon X-ray exposure. The functional role of detected putative amyloidogenic proteins should be validated in overexpression or knockout follow-up studies.PMID:38530837 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2024.2331126 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Pea protein [Pisum sativum] as stabilizer for oil/water emulsions
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2024 Mar 7;326:103123. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103123. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA map of stability for various water/oil/pea protein compositions has been plotted from the numerous reported results. Two clear regions of stability were identified. High internal oil phase emulsions with 70-80%, v/v oil content stabilized by total pea protein concentration <2.5%, w/v showed stability. Low oil content of 10-30%, v/v for a range of total pea protein concentrations >0.5%, w/v have also been identified as stable. Intermediate oil content and pea protein concentrations >4% w/v are unexplore...
