Quality aspects of food crops have globally important market economic and health repercussions in the current climate security. Grain legumes high potential for nutritional quality improvement foods, but limited data on manipulating seed is available as primary focus has been hitherto phenotypic agronomic trait improvement. This resulted a lack innovation low attractiveness legume products that, with emergence novel habits, together contributed to reduced consumption. trend now needs be...

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was completed to identify loci associated with agronomic (days flowering, days maturity, plant height, seed yield and weight), morphology (shape dimpling) quality (protein, starch fibre concentrations) traits of field pea (Pisum sativum L.). A collection 135 accessions from 23 different breeding programs in Africa (Ethiopia), Asia (India), Australia, Europe (Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Lithuania, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine United...

Although pulses are nutritious foods containing high amounts of protein, fiber and phytochemicals, their consumption use in the food industry have been limited due to formation unappealing flavors/aromas described as beany, green, grassy. Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes prevalent among pulse seeds, activity can lead specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from certain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). As a widespread issue legumes, including soybean, these VOCs linked taste perception...

Abstract We have analyzed segregation patterns of markers among the late generation progeny several crosses pea. From association these we deduced linkage orders. Salient features linkages are discussed, as is relationship between data presented here and previously published genetic cytogenetic data.

We have measured the numbers of genes coding for three seed storage proteins, vicilin, convicilin and legumin, in a number Pisum genotypes variant protein canposition. No difference gene existed aimong P. sativum any proteins. There were differences individual proteins with approximately 11 (per haploid gencine) 8 legurnin 1 convicilin.

Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBI) from soybean and related proteins are naturally occurring protease with potential health-promoting properties within the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, we have investigated effects of BBI on HT29 colon adenocarcinoma cells, compared non-malignant colonic fibroblast CCD-18Co cells. Two major isoinhibitors, IBB1 IBBD2, showing considerable amino acid sequence divergence their inhibitory domains, were purified in order to examine functional properties,...

Bowman–Birk inhibitors (BBI) from legumes, such as soyabean, pea, lentil and chickpea, are naturally occurring plant protease which have potential health-promoting properties within the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. BBI can survive both acidic conditions action of proteolytic enzymes stomach small intestine, permitting significant amounts to reach large intestine in active form exert their reported anti-carcinogenic anti-inflammatory properties. In a previous study, we ability...

Several classes of seed proteins limit the utilisation plant in human and farm animal diets, while foods have much to offer sustainable intensification food/feed production health. Reduction or removal these could greatly enhance protein quality various strategies been used try achieve this with limited success. We investigated whether protease inhibitor mutations be exploited quality, availing induced mutant natural Pisum germplasm collections identify mutants, whilst acquiring an...

The Bowman-Birk trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor (BBI) from soybean has been described as a potential cancer chemopreventive agent. We have compared the effects of BBI with those two variant recombinant pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed protease inhibitors, rTI1B and rTI2B, homologous to but differing in inhibitory activity, on growth human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT29 cells vitro. A significant dose-dependent decrease was observed using all showing largest (IC50 = 46 microM). Inclusion...

Abstract Several legume seed proteins that are potentially allergenic, poorly digested by farm animals, and/or have undesirable functional properties, been described. One of these is the albumin protein in pea (Pisum sativum) called PA2. A naturally occurring mutant line lacks PA2 has exploited studies to determine biological function this nonstorage development. The mutant, which a small seed, tall plant phenotype, and most PA2-encoding genes, crossed with standard cultivar, ‘Birte,’...

Pea seeds are widely consumed in their immature form, known as garden peas and petit pois, mostly after preservation by freezing or canning. Mature dry rich iron the form of ferritin, but little is about content, bioavailability stages seed development. Using specific antibodies in-gel staining, we show that ferritin loaded with accumulated gradually during Immunolocalization high-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) revealed iron-loaded was located at surface...

A fast neutron (FN)-mutagenised population was generated in Pisum sativum L. (pea) to enable the identification and isolation of genes underlying traits processes. Studies several phenotypic have clearly demonstrated utility resource by associating gene deletions with phenotype followed functional tests exploiting additional mutant sources, from both induced natural variant germplasm. For forward genetic screens, next generation sequencing methodologies provide an opportunity for identifying...

Pea is one of the most produced and consumed pulse crops around world. The study genetic variability within pea germplasm an important tool to identify outstanding accessions with optimal functional nutritional qualities. In present study, a collection 105 was analysed for physicochemical properties, pasting viscosity, basic composition parameters. While viscosities were negatively correlated hydration capacity, cooking time, composition, positive correlation found between capacity Basic...
