Mungbean (Vigna radiate L. Wilczek) is an important legume crop for its valuable nutritional and health benefits. Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a capacity of seeds to survive and maintain physiological activities during storage and under stress conditions. Many studies of DT have been reported in other legume crop, such as soybean and Medicago truncatula with little studies in the mungbean. In ...

Problem statement: A number of studies have recently conducted to identify novel and potent antifungal components from natural products. One of the reasons is to overcome the antifungal resistant developed against most of commercially available drugs. Studies confirmed that mung beans have increased phenolic compounds and enhanced defenses during germination. Approach: We hypothesized that anti...

Radiate and planar neurons are the two major types of multipolar neurons in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN). Both cell types receive monosynaptic excitatory synaptic inputs from the auditory nerve, but have different responses to sound and project to different target regions and cells. Although the intrinsic physiology and synaptic inputs to planar neurons have been previously characterized,...

Recently Boldi and Vigna proposed axioms that would characterize good notions of centrality. We study a random-walk version of closeness centrality and prove that is satisfies Boldi-Vigna axioms for non-directed graphs.

INTRODUCTION The genus Vigna Fabaceae, formerly Leguminosae, is composed of more than 200 species that are native to the warm regions of both the old world and new world. Vigna is closely related to Phaseolus, which is composed of more than 20 species that are native to warm or tropical regions of the New World. A number of species previously placed in Phaseolus are now placed in Vigna. The gen...
