Mucuna guangxiensis sp. nov. (Fabaceae), a woody liana species bearing pods up to 70 cm long, which is only known from Guangxi Province in China, is described and illustrated here. The new species is similar to Mucuna macrocarpa but differs from it by totally yellowish or greenish white corolla and more densely sericeous hairs on the abaxial surface ...

Aluminium avoidance by Mucuna pruriens
Physiologia Plantarum, 1992The hypothesis was tested that the avoidance of acid subsoil by the velvet bean Mucuna pruriens is based on a mechanism acting on the whole root system rather than on individual roots. In a split‐root experiment with circulating nutrient solution the growth of plants with Al‐containing (+/+) or Al‐free (0/0) solution on both sides of the root system ...

Nutritional and anti‐nutritional characteristics of mucuna (Mucuna utilis) bean seeds
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1988AbstractSome nutritional and anti‐nutritional characteristics of mucuna (Mucuna utilis (Wight) Burck) bean seeds were studied. The mature seeds contained 264 g crude protein, 63 g crude fibre, 41 g crude fat, 37 g ash and 595 g carbohydrates kg−1 DM. The essential amino acid profile compared well with the FAO/WHO scoring pattern except for a deficiency

NUTRITIVE VALUE OF MUCUNA (Mucuna pruriens) SHELL MEAL IN WEANER RABBIT DIET
Nigerian Journal of Animal ProductionThe study evaluated the nutritive value of Mucuna Shell Meal (MSM) on growth performance of weaner rabbits. Five dietary treatments were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% level of MSM. Thirty (30) weaner rabbits of mixed breeds and sexes were used for the experiment.

Aluminium tolerance of the velvet beans Mucuna pruriens var. utilis and Mucuna deeringiana
1990Although Al is generally regarded a nonessential element, in nutrient solution studies at pH 4.2 with NO3 as nitrogen source an Al3+concentration of 0.33 meqL−1, increased root fresh weight of M. p. utilis and M. deeringiana but not shoot fresh weight. The two species did not differ essentially in their response to aluminium.
