A new indole-3-acetic acid metabolite was isolated from broad bean (Vicia faba L. cv Chukyo) seedlings. It was a conjugate of dioxindole-3-acetic acid, aspartic acid, and glucose and was identified as 3-(O-beta-glucosyl)-2-indolone-3-acetylaspartic acid (molecular weight 484) from ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra. Its natural content in 4-day-old Vicia seedlin...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important grain legume with high protein content (approximately 25–30%) and nutritional value. It broadly cultivated in temperate areas both for human consumption as animal feed. According to FAOSTAT (2020), the total area of reached approximately 2.5 million ha, yielding more than 4.5 tons. The characterization genetic diversity parameter biodiversity studies, g...

Air-classified pulse (non-oilseed legume) protein and starch may replace specialty protein and starch feedstuffs in diets for weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, three specialty protein sources (5% soy protein concentrate, 5% corn gluten meal, and 5% menhaden meal in the control diet) were replaced with 16% zero-tannin hulled or dehulled faba bean, or 17.5% field pea protein concentrate. In total, 192 grou...

Haemolytic favism is a severe, acute anaemia which occurs in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient individuals, usually following the ingestion of Vicia faba seeds. Current interest is focused on the nature of the active substances of Vicia faba and on the causes of the varying susceptibility among G6PD-deficient individuals to episodes of severe haemolysis. The results of experiments in ...
