Structural and functional characterization of bacterial diversity in the rhizospheres of three grain legumes
… the rhizospheres of three economically important grain legumes (Vicia faba, Lupinus albus and Pisum sativum). A cultivation-independent approach was employed to achieve this aim bearing in mind the limitation of cultivation-dependent technique that only 10% of bacteria present in rhizosphere can …

Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on plant growth, symbiotic function and concentration of metabolites in legumes and an assessment of F1 generation for carryover effects
… legume species including three tropical food grain legumes [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (cowpea), Glycine max (L.) Merr (soybean), and Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) (common bean)], two temperate pasture legumes [Lupinus luteus (lupin) and Vicia atropurpurea (vetch)], a tree [Virgilia oroboides …

The isolation, modification and evaluation of field pea proteins and their applications in foods
… over the last ten years, the production of this grain has been increasing in Australia. As with other grain legumes, field pea proteins contain high levels of lysine which may be important in balancing the deficiencies of this essential amino acid in cereal-based diets. In recent years, interest …

Contributions to crop improvement and sustainable agriculture in tropical and subtropical Australia
… on the phenology, growth and yield of tropical grain legume crops. The main target crops were soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) and black gram (V. mungo L. Hepper), and to a lesser extent cowpea (V. unguiculata (L.) Walp.), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) …

Water usage in post-harvest handling of groundnuts and beans at Luvhada Irrigation Scheme, Limpopo Province, South Africa
… agriculture, and especially in cropping systems, grain legumes play a greater role in meeting global aims of increased sustainable production of nutritious food. Global increase in grain legume yields are currently met almost exclusively through increased planting area. Grain legumes popularly …

The epidemiology and management of fungal- and nonpersistent aphid-borne plant viruses in a Mediterranean type climate
… various non-persistently aphid-borne viruses of grain legumes, celery and carrots and for the fungally-transmitted lettuce big vein disease (LBVD). In a range of legumes, extreme resistance to Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) was found in Vicia faba cv. Ascot, Hedysarum coronarium cv. Grimaldi, and …

Improving Soybean Resistance to Cyst Nematodes and Fusaria: Near Isoline and Transgenic Analyses of the Rhg1/Rfs2 Locus and Identification of Proteins That Bind to Receptor Kinases
Soybean is one of the most important grain legumes grown in US and worldwide, and is a major component of human and animal protein diets. Despite improvements in management practices, and the introduction of improved soybean cultivars, soil borne pathogens continue to cause tremendous yield loss in …

Effect of fibrolytic enzyme on lactational performance, feeding behavior and digestibility in lactating dairy cows fed a whole plant faba bean silage-based diet
… L.) is one of the most widespread and oldest grain legumes in the temperate regions due to its considerable content of protein and starch. The exogenous fibrolytic enzyme for ruminants was applied in order to improve feed efficiency and animal performance. The aim of this project was to …

Rhizobia inoculant effects on bambara groundnut growth and yield in Namibia
… nitrogen fixation and improve productivity of grain legumes. Sub-Saharan African countries like Namibia, however, still under-utilise the above practice. Three (3) studies were conducted, of which two were conducted in 2021, and in 2021/22 season. The first study was on farmer’s appraisal, …

Hydrocyclone fractionation of chickpea flour and measurement of physical and functional properties of flour and starch and protein fractions
Chickpea grain contains a high amount of starch and valuable protein. Many grain legumes (pulses) can be processed by pin milling and air classification with high separation efficiency. However, chickpea exhibits low separation efficiency because it has a relatively high fat content compared to …
