comparative transcriptome analysis of nodules of two mesorhizobium-chickpea associations with differential symbiotic efficiency under phosphate deficiency.phosphate (pi) deficiency is known to be a major limitation for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (snf), and hence legume crop productivity globally. however, very little information is available on the adaptive mechanisms, particularly in the important legume crop chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), which enable nodules to respond to low-pi availability. thus, to elucidate these mechanisms in chickpea nodules at molecular level, we used an rna sequencing approach to investigate transcriptomes of the nodul ...201728628240
genetic and phenotypic diversity of rhizobia nodulating chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) in soils from southern and central ethiopia.forty-two chickpea-nodulating rhizobia were isolated from soil samples collected from diverse agro-ecological locations of ethiopia and were characterized on the basis of 76 phenotypic traits. furthermore, 18 representative strains were selected and characterized using multilocus sequence analyses of core and symbiotic gene loci. numerical analysis of the phenotypic characteristics grouped the 42 strains into 4 distinct clusters. the analysis of the 16s rrna gene of the 18 strains showed that th ...201728499096

effects of food formulation and thermal processing on flavones in celery and chamomile.flavones isolated from celery varied in their stability and susceptibility to deglycosylation during thermal processing at ph 3, 5, or 7. apigenin 7-o-apiosylglucoside was converted to apigenin 7-o-glucoside when heated at ph 3 and 100°c. apigenin 7-o-glucoside showed little conversion or degradation at any ph after 5h at 100°c. apigenin, luteolin, and chrysoeriol were most stable at ph 3 but progressively degraded at ph 5 or 7. chamomile and celery were used to test the effects of glycosidase-r ...201323790931
optimization of high-yielding protocol for dna extraction from the forest rhizosphere microbes.soil is major reservoir for microbes and harbors a vast microbial diversity. soil microbiota plays a pivotal role in biogeochemical cycles, bioremediation, and in health and disease states of humans, animals, and plants. it is imperative to understand the microbial signatures which are specific in such an ecosystem to unravel their potential role and impact on environment. during the recent years, exploration of soil microbial communities has been geared up with the advent of advanced sequencing ...201728555427
speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding.the growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops inadequate to meet future demand 1 . this slow improvement rate is attributed partly to the long generation times of crop plants. here, we present a method called 'speed breeding', which greatly shortens generation time and accelerates breeding and research programmes. speed breeding can be used to achieve up to 6 generatio ...201829292376
contrasting responses of crop legumes and cereals to nitrogen availability.in nonagricultural systems, the relationship between intrinsic water-use efficiency (wuei ) and leaf nitrogen (narea ) is known to be stronger for legumes than for nonlegumes. we tested whether these relationships are retained for major agricultural legumes and nonlegumes. we compared the response to n nutrition of wuei (and its component parts, photosynthesis (asat ) and stomatal conductance (gs )) for legumes cicer arietinum, glycine max, lupinus alba and vicia faba, nonlegume dicots brassica ...201729178286

effect of fibre additions to flatbread flour mixes on glucose kinetics: a randomised controlled trial.we previously found that guar gum (gg) and chickpea flour (cpf) added to flatbread wheat flour lowered postprandial blood glucose (ppg) and insulin responses dose dependently. however, rates of glucose influx cannot be determined from ppg, which integrates rates of influx, tissue disposal and hepatic glucose production. the objective was to quantify rates of glucose influx and related fluxes as contributors to changes in ppg with gg and cpf additions to wheat-based flatbreads. in a randomised cr ...201729110741
isolation, identification and characterization of a new type of lectin with α-amylase inhibitory activity in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.).plant lectins are a group of highly diverse proteins that possess at least one non-catalytic domain that binds reversibly to a specific mono- or oligosaccharide. so far, only seven members in the lectin-arcelin-αai1 supergene family in legume lectins have been reported to have inhibitory activity of α-amylases.201729081299
antioxidant enzymes in chickpea colonized by piriformospora indica participate in defense against the pathogen botrytis cinerea.piriformospora indica, a root endophytic fungus, promotes growth of the economically important chickpea plant (cicer arietinum linn.) and protects it against the pathogenic fungus botrytis cinerea. biomass and root development were found to be significantly improved in chickpea plants colonized with p. indica as compared to the plants grown without p. indica as well as from the plants infected with the b. cinerea. our pcr analyses showed that gradual increase in the colonization of p. indica in ...201729051515
endophytic bacteria improve plant growth, symbiotic performance of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) and induce suppression of root rot caused by fusarium solani under salt stress.salinity causes disturbance in symbiotic performance of plants, and increases susceptibility of plants to soil-borne pathogens. endophytic bacteria are an essential determinant of cross-tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. the aim of this study was to isolate non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria from the root nodules of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), and to assess their ability to improve plant growth and symbiotic performance, and to control root rot in chickpea under saline soil co ...201729033922

effects of temperature stresses on the resistance of chickpea genotypes and aggressiveness of didymella rabiei isolates.chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is an important food and rotation crop in many parts of the world. cold (freezing and chilling temperatures) and ascochyta blight (didymella rabiei) are the major constraints in chickpea production. the effects of temperature stresses on chickpea susceptibility and pathogen aggressiveness are not well documented in the cicer-didymella pathosystem. two experiments were conducted under controlled conditions using chickpea genotypes and pathogen isolates in 2011 and 20 ...201728979276
glycemic response to black beans and chickpeas as part of a rice meal: a randomized cross-over trial.legumes, such as black beans (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and chickpeas (cicer arietinum l.), have a low glycemic index, and may reduce the glycemic load of meals in which they are included. although the low glycemic response of beans consumed alone has been documented, few studies have examined the glycemic response to traditional food combinations such as black beans and rice or chickpeas and rice. this randomized cross-over study examined the glycemic and insulinemic impact of 50 grams of availabl ...201728976933

the impact of using chickpea flour and dried carp fish powder on pizza quality.pizza being the most popular food worldwide, quality and sensory appeal are important considerations during its modification effort. this study was aimed to evaluate the quality of pizza made using two different sources of proteins, chickpea (cicer arietinum) flour and dried carp fish powder (cyprinus carpio). analysis indicated nutrients richness specificity of chickpea flour (higher fiber, energy, iron, zinc, linoleic acid and total nonessential amino acids) and dried carp fish powder (higher ...201728873098
measurement of respiration and internal oxygen in germinating cicer arietinum l. seeds using optic microsensor.internal oxygen concentrations vary in different tissues depending on tissue size, developmental stage, and their location. respiratory rate of tissue also determines internal oxygen levels. for studying various signaling pathways it is essential to establish a correlation between respiration and internal oxygen. seed germination is associated with increase in respiration which can dictate the internal oxygen and subsequent production of reactive oxygen species. using optic oxygen microsensor we ...201728871534
