In this study, a revised target model for quantifying the in vitro radiosensitivity of mung bean sprout elongation to 6-MV X-rays was developed. The revised target model, which incorporated the Poisson prediction for a low probability of success, provided theoretical estimates that were highly consistent with the actual data measured in this study. The revised target model correlated different ...

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...

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of untreated mung bean (MB), germinated mung bean (GMB), and fermented mung bean (FMB) was performed on both in vitro (inhibition of inflammatory mediator, nitric oxide(NO)) and in vivo (inhibition of ear oedema and reduction of response to pain stimulus) studies. Results showed that both GMB and FMB aqueous extract exhibited potent...

The mitochondria isolated from dark-grown mung bean hypocotyls oxidize succinate, l-malate, and externally added reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) with good respiratory control. While the pattern of respiration resembles that of animal mitochondria, there are 4 basic differences between the respiratory properties of mung bean and animal mitochondria: A) the ability to oxidize NADH, B...

Multiple sequence classes of kinetoplast minicircle DNA from Leishmania tarentolae were cleaved by mung bean nuclease in the presence of formamide, yielding unit length linear molecules which retained the anomalous electrophoretic mobility in acrylamide characteristic of minicircle DNA. No specific cleavage site sequence common to all minicircle sequence classes was apparent, although the main ...

in order to study the productivity and competition ability of sesame and mung bean, a field experiment was conducted in agriculture faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz at 2012. experimental design was split-plot based of rcb with 3 replications. main plot included 2 planting patterns and sub-plots included 5 plant density ratios. our result showed that both 50 & 75 cm inter-rows in 50...

Mung bean plants (Wilczek) accumulate increasingly greater amounts of buffer-extractable copper in both their shoots and roots when grown in liquid medium containing greater than 2 micrograms per milliliter copper (31.4 micromolar) as cupric sulfate. This increase in soluble copper is accompanied by an increase in the relative amount of low molecular weight (7,000 to 20,000) macromolecular-boun...

Rhizobium inoculation has successfully been used for improving growth and yield of legume crops in different parts of the world. L-Tryptophan (L-TRP) application may further improve its effectiveness due to substrate-dependent inoculum-derived auxins in the rhizosphere. Rhizobium phaseoli strains were isolated using dilution plate technique from the mung bean nodules. Auxin biosynthesis by thes...

The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureus L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 111 amino acid residues and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Comparison with the amino acid sequence of wheat-germ cytochrome c (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) shows 14 differences. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes c, mun...

Mung bean (Vigna radiata) sprout is commonly consumed as a vegetable, while the coat of the germinated mung bean is a waste. In this paper, an ultrasound-assisted extraction method has been developed to extract natural antioxidants from the seed coat of mung bean. Several experimental parameters-which included ethanol concentration, solvent/material ratio, ultrasound extraction time, temperatur...
