Ectopic expression of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) VuCERK1 gene confers enhanced resistance to Pto DC3000 hrcC- in Arabidopsis

open access: yesCzech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play multiple roles in plants. As a kind of PRRs, chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1 (CERK1) proteins were reported to function in plant resistance to fungal and bacterial pathogens, and tolerance to salt stress.

Nitrogen transfer from forage legumes to nine neighbouring plants in a multi-species grassland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Legumes play a crucial role in nitrogen supply to grass-legume mixtures for ruminant fodder. To quantify N transfer from legumes to neighbouring plants in multi-species grasslands we established a grass-legume-herb mixture on a loamy-sandy site in ...

A Comprehensive Characterisation of Volatile and Fatty Acid Profiles of Legume Seeds

open access: yesFoods, 2019
Legumes are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which make them susceptible to (non) enzymatic oxidations leading to undesirable odour formation. This study aimed to characterise the volatile and fatty acid profiles of eleven types of legumes using ...

Study on the effect of co‐plasticization of post‐industrial starch for high‐impact thermoplastic starch development

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
High‐impact thermoplastic starch blends through the co‐plasticization methodology. Abstract This study analyzed the effect of employing plasticized or co‐plasticized post‐industrial starch in developing PBAT‐based thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends. In this work, the post‐industrial wheat starch was co‐plasticized with glycerol‐urea, glycerol‐citric ...

Circular 20 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1953
Since fanning in Alaska first began and especially since dairy farming became the primary agricultural industry, there has existed a need for hardy legumes which would survive Alaska winters and produce satisfactory yields of high quality forage. To

Manganese Neurotoxicity and Familial Disorders of Manganese Transport

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Manganese is the 12th most common element in the Earth's crust and is an essential industrial component. Biologically, this metal plays an important role as a constituent of numerous enzymes. While manganese is required for normal biochemical and physiological processes, manganese excess can lead to significant toxicity, particularly to the ...

Increasing the diversity of leguminous plant improves soil functionalities and wheat growth in a P-deficient soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A study was conducted in glasshouse conditions to assess the influences of the leguminous plant diversity on the soil microbial functions and their consequences on the wheat growth. Three legume species were targeted: faba bean, alfalfa and pea.
