vigna adenantha/necrosis

Endo-polygalacturonase (PG) was purified from a commercial preparation of Aspergillus niger pectinase by means of carboxymethylcellulose chromatography, preparative isoelectric focusing, and gel permeation through Sephadex G-50. The enzyme was electrophoretically homogeneous and consisted of a

Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) (Tospovirus genus, Bunyaviridae family) infects the major crops of solanaceae, leguminosae and cucurbitaceae in India. Temperature is an important factor which influences the plant growth and development under

Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV; Family Potyviridae, genus Potyvirus) infects legume crops in many regions of the world. It is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by aphids and is also readily seed-transmitted (3). Sweet bean (Lablab purpureus L.) is an important legume crop widely

During the summer of 2001, mosaic, mottle, ring mosaic, stunting, and bud necrosis were observed in peanut fields (Arachis hypogaea cv. Gilan) in the Golestan Province of Iran. Mechanical inoculation of these samples caused necrotic local lesions on Vigna unguiculata cv. Mashad, necrosis on

Lisianthus necrosis virus (LNV) was first identified as a fungus-borne virus that induced systemic necrosis in lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum) in Japan (2). In Taiwan, LNV causes systemic bright yellow chlorosis followed by necrosis in lisianthus (1). The disease was able to spread through the

Nucleotide sequence of the S and M RNA segments of a Groundnut bud necrosis virus isolate from Vigna radiata (mungbean isolate, GBNV-MB) was determined and compared with another isolate from Arachis hypogaea (groundnut isolate, GBNV-type). Comparative sequence analysis revealed that the genome

The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether extracts of Vigna angularis (EVA) inhibit allergic inflammatory reactions and to elucidate the possible mechanisms of action. For the assessment of allergic inflammatory response, histamine release and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines

The present study investigated the effects of azuki bean (Vigna angularis) extract (VAE) on the progress of atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions in NC/Nga mice induced by 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. The efficacy of VAE in NC/Nga mice was determined by measuring gross and histological skin

The genus Striga comprises about 30 obligate root-parasitic plants, commonly known as witchweeds. In particular, S. hermonthica, S. asiatica and S. gesnerioides cause immense losses to major stable crops in sub-Saharan Africa. Most Striga species parasitize grass species (Poaceae), but Striga

A survey was conducted from 2003 to 2004 to identify viruses infecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in different growing areas of East Azarbaejan Province of Iran. A total of 300 French bean samples with symptoms of viral infection (mosaic, vein clearing, leaf rolling, yellowing, and leaf

Unusual symptoms were observed in summer 1997 in field zucchini of several cultivars grown in central Italy. Symptoms included reduction in growth, severe mosaic, blistering and deformation of leaves, and malformation on fruits. Plants gave negative results in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

The seeds of Phaseolus calcaratus Roxburgh (PHCR) are common legumes that comprise part of the daily diet in Chinese and Korean culture. Recent findings highlight anti-inflammatory and anti-septic potentials of catechin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (CGP) isolated from PHCR seeds. We investigated the

Adzuki beans (Vigna angularis), one of the most important legume crops in East Asia, have been shown to possess potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in mice. Here, we investigated the effects of black adzuki bean (BAB) on colon inflammation triggered by high-fat diet (HD)-induced

A complementary DNA encoding an ethylene-inducible acidic chitinase of azuki bean (Vigna angularis) was isolated, and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. The nucleotide and deduced amino-acid sequence were very similar to those of an acidic chitinase from cucumber leaves that had been

During spring 2009, lavender plants (Lavandula stoechas L.) showing a bright yellow mosaic of calico type and light stunting were observed in a commercial nursery in Liguria Province in northern Italy. Of 300 plants inspected, ~2% were symptomatic. Preliminary observations of leaf sap with the
