Faba Bean
Transcriptome Analysis from Etiolated Seedling and Developing Seed Coat of Key Cultivars for Synthesis of Proanthocyanidins, Phytate, Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides, Vicine, and Convicine Abstract Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has been little examined from a genetic or genomic perspective despite its status as an established food and forage crop with some key pharmaceutical factors such

Mineral Micronutrient Content in Saskatchewan, Canada
Mineral Micronutrient Content of Cultivars of Field Pea, Chickpea, Common Bean, and Lentil Grown in Saskatchewan, Canada Abstract The mineral content of pulses grown in Saskatchewan, Canada, was examined for magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, and in some cases nickel and calcium. Eight to 18 cultivars of each of field pea (Pisum sativum),

Metabolomic Shifts In Brassica Napus Lines
Metabolomic shifts in Brassica napus lines with enhanced BnPLC2 expression impact their response to low temperature stress and plant pathogens Abstract Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C2 (PLC2) is a signaling enzyme with hydrolytic activity against membrane-bound phosphoinositides. It catalyzes the cleavage of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P 2) into two initial second messengers, myo-inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP 3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). The

Prospects For Genetic Modifications
A genomic approach to nutritional, pharmacological and genetic issues of faba bean ( Vicia faba ) Abstract Cultivated faba bean (Vicia faba) is widely used as human food, especially in Europe, Northern Africa and China. In view of its superior feeding value over field peas or other legumes, it is also widely used as animal

Over-Expression Of Brassica Napus
Over-expression of Brassica napus phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C2 in canola induces significant changes in gene expression and phytohormone distribution patterns, enhances drought tolerance and promotes early flowering and maturation Abstract Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PtdIns-PLC2) plays a central role in the phosphatidylinositol-specific signal transduction pathway. It catalyses the hydrolysis of membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to produce two second messengers,

Down-Regulation Of Galactinol Synthase In Oilseed Brassica Napus
Down-regulation of galactinol synthase in oilseed Brassica napus leads to significant reduction of antinutritional oligosaccharides Abstract The utility of defatted seed meal from many crops such as canola (Brassica napus L.) is limited by the presence of antinutritional factors, including sucrose galactosides, raffinose, and stachyose. Anaerobic breakdown of these sugars in the digestive tract of

Expression Of Anthocyanins And Proanthocyanidins
Expression of Anthocyanins and Proanthocyanidins after Transformation of Alfalfa with Maize Lc Abstract Three anthocyanin regulatory genes of maize (Zea mays; Lc, B-Peru, and C1) were introduced into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in a strategy designed to stimulate the flavonoid pathway and alter the composition of flavonoids produced in forage. Lc constructs included a full-length gene

Condensed Tannin Biotechnology
Genetic Systems for Condensed Tannin Biotechnology Abstract Condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) are plant phenolic polymers with protein-binding, carbohydrate-binding, and antioxidant properties. Dietary condensed tannins deter some insects from feeding on crops, disrupt insect digestion and growth,1 and deter larger browsing and foraging animals.2 As well, the very high levels of condensed tannins found in tropical plant

Cloned Tetracycline Resistance
Characterization and expression of a cloned tetracycline resistance determinant from Campylobacter jejuni plasmid pUA466 Abstract A tetracycline resistance (Tcr) determinant previously cloned from the Campylobacter jejuni plasmid pUA466 (D. E. Taylor, J. Bacteriol. 165:1037-1039, 1986) was localized by restriction endonuclease mapping, subcloning, and Tn1000 insertion mutagenesis to a 2-kilobase region consisting of 1.8- and 0.2-kilobase
