| nitric oxide exacerbates al-induced inhibition of root elongation in rice bean by affecting cell wall and plasma membrane properties. | aluminum (al) toxicity is one of the most widespread problems for crop production on acid soils, and nitric oxide (no) is a key signaling molecule involved in the mediation of various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. here we found that exogenous application of the no donor sodium nitroprusside (snp) exacerbated the inhibition of al-induced root growth in rice bean [vigna umbellata (thunb.) ohwi & ohashi 'jiangnan', fabaceae]. this was accompanied by an increased accumulation of al in the r ... | 2012 | 22230427 |
| a de novo synthesis citrate transporter, vigna umbellata multidrug and toxic compound extrusion, implicates in al-activated citrate efflux in rice bean (vigna umbellata) root apex. | al-activated organic acid anion efflux from roots is an important al resistance mechanism in plants. we have conducted homologous cloning and isolated vigna umbellata multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (vumate), a gene encoding a de novo citrate transporter from rice bean. al treatment up-regulated vumate expression in the root apex, but neither in the mature root region nor in the leaf. the degree of up-regulation of vumate was both partially al concentration and time dependent, consistent ... | 2011 | 21848845 |
| anti-inflammatory potential of phaseolus calcaratus roxburgh, a oriental medicine, on lps-stimulated raw 264.7 macrophages. | the seed of phaseolus calcaratus roxburgh (phcr) has traditionally been used as a herbal medicine, considered to have anti-inflammatory potential. here we examined the ability of phcr seed extract to inhibit inflammatory responses of macrophages to bacterial toxin and the mechanism involved. | 2011 | 21155824 |
| magnesium enhances aluminum-induced citrate secretion in rice bean roots (vigna umbellata) by restoring plasma membrane h+-atpase activity. | we demonstrated that magnesium (mg) can alleviate aluminum (al) toxicity in rice bean [vigna umbellata (thunb.) ohwi & ohashi] more effectively than is expected from a non-specific cation response. micromolar concentrations of mg alleviated the inhibition of root growth by al but not by lanthanum, and neither strontium nor barium at the micromolar level alleviates al toxicity. aluminum also induced citrate efflux from rice bean roots, and this response was stimulated by inclusion of 10 microm mg ... | 2007 | 17132634 |
| citrate transporters play a critical role in aluminium-stimulated citrate efflux in rice bean (vigna umbellata) roots. | aluminium (al) stimulates the efflux of citrate from apices of rice bean (vigna umbellata) roots. this response is delayed at least 3 h when roots are exposed to 50 microm al, indicating that some inducible processes leading to citrate efflux are involved. the physiological bases responsible for the delayed response were examined here. | 2006 | 16446286 |
| effect of domestic processing on flatus producing factors in ricebean (vigna umbellata). | the effect of various processing treatments viz., soaking, pressure cooking, open pan cooking, germination followed by pressure cooking and roasting of whole ricebean and pressure cooking, open pan cooking and fermentation and frying of fermented batter of dehulled ricebean flour was assessed for total sugars and oligosaccharide contents. dehulling caused a significant reduction in the raffinose and stachyose contents. pre-soaking of ricebean caused appreciable losses in the oligosaccharide cont ... | 2000 | 11190844 |
| changes in the dietary fiber (resistant starch and nonstarch polysaccharides) content of cooked flours prepared from three chinese indigenous legume seeds. | the effects of cooking on the dietary fiber (df) content, which included resistant starch (rs) and nonstarch polysaccharides (nsp), of flours from phaseolusangularis, phaseolus calcaratus, and dolichos lablab seeds, indigenous to china, were evaluated. the cooked legume flours were prepared by milling boiled and freeze-dried legume whole seeds. total df contents of all cooked flours were higher than those of the raw ones. the results showed an increase of nsp and rs to various extents with incre ... | 1998 | 10554229 |
| serine proteinase from rice bean. | a trypsin like serine-proteinase of m(r) 16,000 da, optimally active at ph 8.4 on n-benzoyl-arginine ethyl ester (baee) was purified from 4-day old germinated seeds of rice bean, vigna umbellata (thunb), by ammonium sulphate precipitation, gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc). the purity of the enzyme was checked by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (page). the enzyme activity was studied on natural substrates like casein, haemoglobin ... | 1996 | 9219435 |
| nutritional assessment of seed proteins in rice bean [vigna umbellata (thumb.) ohwi and ohashi]. | seeds of three rice bean accessions had 17.26 to 21.42% protein, 3.46 to 4.03% fat, 61.09 to 64.73% carbohydrates 3.99 to 4.58% ash and 5.22 to 7.43% fiber (dry weight basis). the most limiting amino acids in the seed meal, albumin and globulin fractions, were methionine and cysteine with chemical scores of these fractions being 38% to 59%. the amino acid pattern of globulin and seed meal were similar. the in vitro protein digestibility (ivpd) ranged from 82 to 86% for the seed meal, 86 to 88.5% ... | 1991 | 2017423 |
| relationship between growth and electric oscillations in bean roots. | extracellular and intracellular electric potentials in bean roots are known to show electric oscillations along the longitudinal axis with a period of several minutes. the relationship between growth and the electric oscillations was studied using roots of adzuki (phaseolus chrysanthos). we measured surface electric potentials with a multielectrode apparatus while simultaneously measuring elongation using a ccd camera and monitor. roots having an electric oscillation grew faster than roots with ... | 1990 | 16667498 |
| relation of growth process to spatial patterns of electric potential and enzyme activity in bean roots. | the electric spatial pattern and invertase activity distribution in growing roots of azuki bean (phaseolus chrysanthos) have been studied. the electric potential near the surface along the root showed a banding pattern with a spatial period of about 2 cm. it was found that the enzyme activity has a peak around 3-7 mm from the root tip, in good agreement with the position of the first peak of the electric potential, which is located a little behind the elongation zone. an inhomogeneous distributi ... | 1987 | 17010286 |
| band structure of surface electric potential in growing roots. | for growing roots of azuki bean (phaseolus chrysanthos), an electric potential is measured minutely along the surface of the root, together with the surface ph. it was found that the root begins to display a band-type pattern of potential with a spatial period of about 2 cm in a mature region as soon as it grows to about 10 cm in root length, while the surface potential shows only one convex peak around a position 5-20 mm behind a root tip and a succeeding concave peak around 20-35 mm, providing ... | 1985 | 17007776 |
