Expression of Cowpea Mosaic Virus M RNA in Cowpea Protoplasts

Journal of General Virology, 1989
Summary Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) M RNA is translated in vitro into two polyproteins of M r values 105000 (105K) and 95K. Using antiserum against the small capsid protein VP23, these proteins have now been detected in cowpea protoplasts, a few hours after inoculation with CPMV.

Unveiling chemical composition of peppermint oil and its bioactivities compared with (R)‐(+)‐limonene: antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal perspectives

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) essential oil (MPEO) is recognized for its broad‐spectrum antimicrobial properties and potential applications in food preservation. This study aimed to determine whether the bioactivity of MPEO is attributable to (R)‐(+)‐limonene or whether the complete essential oil provides higher efficacy due to ...

The Color of Cowpea Boiling Extract and Identification of Cowpea Peel and Cowpea Boiling Extract Anthocyanin Pigments

Food Preservation Science, 2003
Sekihan is a Japanese traditional food that is usually cooking to steam glutinous rice with adzuki beans or cowpea beans and those boiling extract. We describe identification of cowpea peel anthocyanin and cowpea boiling extract antocyanin, and the effects of heating time on the color of cowpea boiling extract.

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

A composite, host‐participatory haustorium links host compatibility to defence bifurcation in Alectra vogelii (Orobanchaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.
