This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faba bean is an important nitrogen-fixing crop in the Andes. It is also an essential component of the diet for many peasants in this region, as it is a source of calcium and protein. Faba bean production is limited by disease and drought in Bolivia. The major disease that affects faba production and reduces yields in Bolivia is chocolate spot, caused by Botrytis species (B. cinerea, B. fabae and B. fabiopsis). When humidity levels reach at least 90% and air temperatures are between 15-22°C the disease can harshly limit the growth of the infected plant and lead to yield losses of 50-100% (Zhang et al., 2010). Growing conditions in Bolivia are extremely conducive for Botrytis disease progression. Seed treatments of Bacillus subtilis (GB122) and B. amyloquefaciens (GB99) reduce chocolate spot disease (in green house trials) and promote faba growth (field trials) in Pennsylvania. Using these seed treatments hold promise to reduce chocolate spot in Bolivia. Currently the Bolivian government has approved registration for production and use of various Bacillus species at PROINPA. These include B. subtilis and B. amyloliquefaciens strains that should be applied to faba seed in production fields across the Bolivian Andes. Over 200 Botrytis spp. isolates were collected from symptomatic tissue on of faba bean in fields in Pennsylvania. Sixteen of these isolates were selected to represent culture morphological characteristics. In order to understand disease caused by Botrytis species in Pennsylvania a phylogenetic analysis with 16 Botrytis isolates was performed. Four gene regions were sequenced; Gylceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), Heat-shock protein-60 (HSP60), RNA-dependent, DNA-polymerase subunit-2 (RPB2) and Internal transcribed spacer region 4/5 (ITS). These gene regions were used to create 4 neighbor-joining trees in MEGA. The results of this analysis indicate that chocolate spot of faba bean in Pennsylvania is caused by two distinct species, B. fabiopsis and B. cinerea. Botrytis fabiopsis was the most common isolate found in PA field trials in 2 years (2011 and 2013). This is the first report of B. fabiopsis in Pennsylvania and the United States. Botrytis fabiopsis has similar culture growth characteristics to B. cinerea, however B. fabiopsis can only produce conidia from sclerotia (at near UV light) and on plant material. Botrytis cinerea can produce conidia from mycelium as well as sclerotia on plants.

Download or read book Faba Bean Chemistry Properties and Functionality written by Sneh Punia Bangar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faba bean is a species of flowering plant in the Fabaceae family and the fourth most widely grown winter season legume after pea, chickpea, and lentil. The nutritional profile of faba beans is excellent as they contain an adequate quantity of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and various polyphenols. Faba bean seeds are a rich source of carbohydrates and starch. Because of higher amylose content than cereal starches, legume starches provide distinctive properties such as high gelation temperature, fast retro-gradation, high resistant starch and gel elasticity to food systems. Faba bean has been a beneficial source of protein in food products worldwide for centuries and continues to be highly produced and consumed to this day. Faba bean Chemistry, Properties and Functionality studies the global status and production of faba bean food products plus their agronomy, nutritional value and potential medicinal applications. The agrarian conditions are studied in full, as are postharvest practices. The chemical makeup of faba bean is a major focus, especially in relation to nutrient composition and quality. Chapters in this text focus on anti-nutritional attributes, antioxidants and bioactive compounds plus the effects of processing, storage and cooking on their nutritional value. Starch and its modification, structure, properties and industrial applications are covered, as is protein, genetic improvement and functional product formulation. The text also looks at the future perspectives of this valuable plant and food source. To date, no reference works have exclusively covered faba bean. This book provides a much-needed single source reference point for researchers looking to gain knowledge on this important plant and its use in high protein, health-beneficial food products.

Download or read book Seed Proteins written by Peter R. Shewry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeds provide more than half of the world's intake of dietary protein and energy and thus are of immense economic, cultural and nutritional importance. Proteins can account for up to 40% of the dry weight of various types of seeds, thereby making a large contribution to the nutritional quality and processing properties of seeds. It is, therefore, not surprising that seed proteins were among the first plant components to be systematically studied, some 250 years ago, and have been a major focus of research over the past 100 years. The properties and behaviour of seed proteins pervade modem life in numerous ways. For example, legume and cereal proteins are used'in the production of a wide range of meat-free foods; the process of bread-making is dep~ndent on the physical chemical properties of wheat seed proteins; and in developed, as well as developing, countries, nutritional deficiencies among vegetarian diets are avoided through balancing legume and cereal seeds as sources of dietary proteins. Understanding seed proteins, in order to improve their composition and properties and to increase their concentrations, will thus continue to be an important research objective for the future. The present volume represents the culmination of a long-discussed plan of the editors, to bring together the best international authorities in order to compile a definitive monograph on biological, biochemical, molecular and genetic aspects of seed proteins.

Download or read book Microbial Association of Root Nodules of Vicia Faba L Kota Rajasthan written by Krishnendra Singh Nama and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research was initiated to isolate and characterize indigenous rhizobia nodulating faba bean, and evaluate symbiotic characteristics between the crop and the rhizobia in major fababean producing area i.e. Kota district of Hadauti Region of Rajasthan. The results indicated that biological fertilizers namely Rhizobium and (V)AM could be used instead of chemical fertilizers, because they are cheap, easy to use and improve plant growth and provide stress tolerance. This book suggests that application of biofertilizers is an acceptable approach for higher yield with good quality and safe for human consumption. The strength of current breeding programs for faba bean in the region favors this discipline in the long term to improve nitrogen inputs into farming systems through increased dinitrogen fixation. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of bio-fertilizersis the best option for feeding the growing population viz-a-viz maintaining good soil health status.
