Genetic improvement of grass pea for low neurotoxin (β-ODAP) content
Grass pea is a promising crop for adaptation under climate change because of its tolerance to drought, water-logging and salinity, and being almost free from insect-pests and diseases. In spite of such virtues, global area ...
Effect of cooking methods on protein content and neurotoxin (β-ODAP) concentration in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grains - Efecto de los métodos de cocción sobre el contenido de proteínas y la concentración de neurotoxinas (β-ODAP) en los granos de guisante [chícharo, arveja] (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an important food legume crop but notorious for plant neurotoxin beta-N-Oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), causing neurolathyrism to human and animals. The study aimed ...
Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
