The amino acid sequence of the major trypsin inhibitor, F, of ungerminated mung beans (Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek) was determined by a combination of automatic solid phase and manual sequencing techniques. F is a typical Bowman-Birk-type proteinase inhibitor with 80 amino acid residues and exhibits a high degree of identity with the other sequenced members of the Bowman-Birk family of inhibitor...

Molecular confirmation of interspecific recombinants is essential to overcome the issues like self-pollination, environmental influence, and inadequacy of morphological characteristics during interspecific hybridization. The present study was conducted for genetic confirmation of mungbean (female) and mashbean (male) interspecific crosses using molecular markers. Initially, polymorphic random a...

Aim. To conduct a comprehensive study of morphological features the genus Vigna plants, to assess their productive potential depending on species characteristics under conditions introduction in Right-Bank Forest-Steppe Ukraine. Methods. The main method work was comparative analysis plants grown from seeds. research carried out at sites and laboratory Department Cultural Flora M. Gryshko Nation...

Time-dependent thermal inactivation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) present in the extract of mung beans at different periods of germination showed biphasic kinetics in the 12-h germinated seeds but single exponential decay at 24 h of germination. The glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G-3-P) concentration in the deproteinated extracts was found to increase with period of germinati...

The problem of concern in this project is that in the dry season following a lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop, yields of post-rice crops are generally low, despite adequate water commonly being available in the soil pro®le to grow a potentially high yielding dry season (DS) crop without irrigation. Maize (Zea mays L.) yields are as low as 1 Mg haÿ1 or less, soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) and...

The effect of temperature on Hill activity has been compared in chilling-sensitive and chilling-resistant plants. The Arrhenius activation energy (Ea) for the photoreduction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol by chloroplasts isolated from two chilling-sensitive plants, mung bean (Vigna radiata L. var. Mungo) and maize (Zea mays L. cv. PX 616), increased at low temperatures, below 17 C for mung bea...

Cold-induced changes in vivo in the cytoplasmic pH of suspension-cultured cells of mung bean (Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek) were investigated by fluorescence-ratio imaging cryomicroscopy with special reference to the variations in the chilling sensitivity of cells during the growth cycle. Because of the preferential localization of the fluorophore in the cytoplasm under specified conditions and t...

The establishment of a root nodule symbiosis between a leguminous plant and a rhizobium requires complex molecular interactions between the two partners. Compatible interactions lead to the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules, however, some legumes exhibit incompatibility with specific rhizobial strains and restrict nodulation by the strains. Bradyrhizobium elkanii USDA61 is incompatible with ...
