The association constant of Cajanus cajan lectin for methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside was studied by equilibrium dialysis method. An attempt was also made to understand the metal ion requirements and to establish that ionizable groups are responsible for lectin-carbohydrate interaction. The N-terminal
The authors report the results of pharmacologic evaluation of two medicinal plants: Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp and Cassia fistula, which are used in Panamanian folk medicine for the treatment of diabetes. It was found that the aqueous fraction of the leaves and stems of C. cajan did not produce any
Cajanus cajan lectin was isolated by ammonium sulfate fractionation and affinity chromatography on an IgM-Sepharose 6B column. Gel filtration and SDS-PAGE showed size homogeneity of the lectin. The lectin with M(r) 18,000 on SDS-PAGE had gel filtration behavior which was consistent with a molecular
Hydrogen ion titration of an affinity-purified mannose/glucose-specific lectin from Cajanus cajan seeds at 30 degrees C and ionic strength of 0.15 was reported earlier by our lab (Salahuddin and Khan, 1998). Further work has been carried out on the systematic study of H+ titration of Cajanus cajan
Use of lectins as ligands for the immobilization and stabilization of glycoenzymes has immense application in enzyme research and industry. But their widespread use could be limited by the high cost of their production. In the present study preparation of a novel and inexpensive lectin support for
Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata) is one of the most important pulse crops grown in South, East and Southeast Asia. It provides significant amounts of protein (240 g kg(-1)) and carbohydrate (630 g kg(-1)) and a range of micronutrients in diets. Mungbean protein and carbohydrate
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan var. aroíto) seeds were fermented in order to remove antinutritional factors and to obtain functional legume flour to be used as pasta ingredients. Fermentation brought about a drastic reduction of alpha-galactosides (82%), phytic acid (48%), and trypsin inhibitor activity
The promotion and enrichment of underutilized cereal based foods with legumes and oilseeds are receiving considerable attention in order to reduce the menace of protein and micronutrients malnutrition. This research therefore investigated the quality of flour produced from fonio (Digitaria
BACKGROUND
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) leaves are a good source of nutrition and health benefitting phenolic compounds. However, its importance has not yet been effectively addressed. Recently, a 2-year field experiment was attempted in an alluvial soil to understand the role of various organic and
Salt stress is a major constrain to the productivity of nutritionally rich pigeonpea, an important legume of SE Asia and other parts of the world. The present study provides a comprehensive insight on integrated proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of root and shoot tissues of contrasting pigeonpea
The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival of Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730 in creams, prepared with pigeon peas and oat. Products were analysed to determine their content of protein, fibre, fat, carbohydrates and degree of likeness. Viable numbers of L. reuteri and pH were
In vitro regeneration of pigeon pea through organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis was demonstrated with pigeon pea cv. JKR105. Embryonic axes explants of pigeon pea showed greater regeneration of shoot buds on 2.5 mg L(-1) 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in the medium, followed by further elongation at
Three released cultivars, forty four advance breeding lines and three wild species of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) were evaluated for nutritional, antinutritional traits and antioxidant potential so as to identify promising genotypes. The average content of total soluble sugars, starch and
It has been difficult to extract a good quality total RNA from the plant parts (such as seeds) which contain high levels of phenolic compounds, carbohydrates and other compounds that bind and/or co-precipitate with RNA. A simple, rapid and efficient method for isolating total RNA from polyphenols
In the present study, we investigated the likely consequences of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations [CO2] on growth, physiology and reproductive phenology of Pigeonpea. A short duration Pigeonpea cultivar (ICPL 15011) was grown without N fertilizer from emergence to final harvest in CO2 enriched
