In hypocotyl segments of mung bean (Phaseolus mungo L.) seedlings, exogenously supplied indoleacetic acid was rapidly conjugated mainly into indoleacetylaspartic acid, which was inactive in inducing ethylene production. Kinetin is known to stimulate indoleacetic acid-induced ethylene production. The mechanism of kinetin action on indoleacetic acid-induced ethylene production by hypocotyl segmen...

TiO2 nanoparticle (NPs) biosynthesis is a low cost, ecofriendly approach developed using the fungi Aspergillus flavus TFR 7. To determine whether TiO2 NPs is suitable for nutrient, we conducted a two part study; biosynthesis of TiO2 NP and evaluates their influence on mung bean. The characterized TiO2 NPs were foliar sprayed at 10 mgL-1 concentration on the leaves of 14 days old mung bean plant...

Citric acid cycle activity in mitochondria from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus var. Jumbo) hypocotyls were examined by surveying (a) characteristics of oxidation of cycle intermediates; (b) activities of cycle enzymes in mitochondrial extracts; (c) contents of cycle intermediates and electron transport components in isolated mitochondria; and (d) time-course changes of products formed during oxida...

Mung bean nuclease sites in supercoiled PM2 DNA at neutral pH were located by linearizing the singly-nicked circular DNA product with venom phosphodiesterase followed by restriction endonuclease mapping. The locations of the sites varied with small changes in temperature and in concentration of NaC1 or magnesium ion. Different environmental changes which affect duplex stability in the same dire...

Tonoplast membrane of etiolated mung bean (Vinga radiata. L.) seedlings contained H(+)-translocating pyrophosphatase (PPase). Modification of tonoplast vesicles and partially purified PPase from etiolated mung bean seedlings with arginine-specific reagents, phenylglyoxal (PGO) and 2,3-butanedione (BD), resulted in a marked decline in H(+)-translocating PPase activity. The half-maximal inhibitio...

Effects of added wheat fiber, with different levels and particle sizes, on the physicochemical properties and gel morphology of wheat starch and mung bean starch were investigated, using rapid visco analyzer (RVA), texture analyzer (TPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each starch was added with wheat fiber at 10, 20, 30 and 40% (weight basis, g/100g), and different sizes of 60, 100 and...

Plasmodium falciparum merozoites have a variable surface protein of about 195,000 molecular weight which may be involved in strain-specific immunity. We have cloned and sequenced a major portion of the gene encoding this antigen from the CAMP strain and have located sites of preferred mung bean nuclease cleavage around the gene. These sites depend on reaction conditions, but at 40% formamide an...

in order to study the competition ability of amaranth and mungbean in fodder intercropping system under different crop residue management, a field experiment was conducted at two seasons (first planting of wheat and then intercropping management) in agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during growing season of 2010-2011. the experimental design was split plot based on rand...

2-Isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-1-piperidine carboxylate methyl chloride (AMO-1618) inhibits the activity of a cholinesterase isolated from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) roots at concentrations comparable to those which retard growth and inhibit development of secondary roots of bean seedlings. Fifty per cent inhibition of the cholinesterase activity occurred at 0.21 mm. Inhibition of...
