种绿豆

从老师布置我们种绿豆那刻起，我就下定决心要做好这项作业。一回到家，我就放下书包，在厨房找了一个合适的杯子，再把绿豆和一张纸放进杯子，加满水。

A Proteinase from Mung Bean Sprouts That Inactivaties Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor

By 30% - 60% (NH4)(2)SO4 fractional precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and anion-exchange chromatography on Waters AP-1 column (Protein(PM)-Pak DEAE 15HR), a proteinase which can inactivate soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) was purified from mung bean ( Vigna rabiata (L.) Wilezek) sprouts. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 29.8 kD by SDS-PAGE, and its K-m and V-max for STI were 769.2 N-alpha -benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester BAEE/mL and 115.3 BAEE . mL(-1) . min(-1) respectively. This proteinase was stable at temperatures lower than 50 degreesC and pH 6.5 - 8.5, and 90.91% STI activity of defatted soybean powder was inactivated by this preparation, with proteolytic activity 5 000 BAEE/mL at 50 degreesC and pH 8.0 in 4 h.

Graft-induced Inheritable Variation in Mungbean and Its Application in Mungbean Breeding

Graft can induce inheritable variations in the progenies of the scion plants. Seedling of mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was grafted onto the stem of sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.). The growth of the scion was maintained until the scion produced selfed seeds. We sowed the seeds for several generations under normal conditions. Distinct genetic variations appeared in the progenies. Similar variations did not appear in the generations of the scion sowed normally without graft. The variations seemed to be induced by the graft and they inherited steadily. For understanding the possible mechanism of the phenomenon (graft_induced inheritable variation), we analyzed the cytoplasmic and genomic DNA of the variations. The results showed that there was no restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the cytoplasmic DNA between the original scion and the variation. However, significant difference between the scion and variation was recognized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. In addition, there was no evidence that indicated the gene transformation from stock to scion. Our results suggest that the non_specific grafting has a pragmatic potential for plant breeding and crop improvement and, the genetic variation seems not to be caused simply by DNA transformation but most likely the stress induced mutation.

Inheritance of Seed Color and Luster in Mungbean(Vigna radiata)

The inheritance of seed color and seed luster of mungbean was studied by using accessions/varieties with different seed color,black (Bkck),green (KPS1) and green (KPS2).In KPS2×Bkck combination,the p2 seed color was shiny black.The F3 data indicated the following genotype:3B-for black seed color,and 1 bb for green seed color.Plant purple petiole gene and black seed color gene were very close linkage.There was no segregation between them.Perhaps the same gene B controlled the color of purple petiole.Moreover in KPS1X Bkck combination F3 seed color popuktion showed a wide rang of phenotypic variability.Perhaps seed luster was controlled by more than two genes.

Effect of Cooking on Amylose Contents of Mungbean （Phaseolus aureus） and Chickpea （Cicer arietinum L.） Varieties

Keeping in view the importance of amylose for various food industries as well as its importance on domestic level, the current study was conducted to analyze the amylose content of pulses of common use e.g. mungbean （NM-92, NM-98 and Ramazan） and kabuli type chickpea （CMNKI0-99, CMNK452-2 and Hassan 2k） varieties and quantifying the influence of cooking （boiling） on the amylose contents of pulses. The data revealed that moisture and arnylose content of uncooked mungbean varieties ranged 9.01-9.47% and 20.06-22.26% respectively. The moisture and amylose content of Kabuli type chickpea varieties varied 8.52-8.79% and 20.25-22.83% respectively. Moisture content of mungbean （64.16-66.08%） as well as chickpea （55.56-61.52%） varieties increased after cooking. For all the three varieties of mungbean the observed cooking time was 11 minutes. The maximum value of amylose content was assayed for NM-98 （20.74%） followed by Ramzan （20.24%）. The cooking time of Kabuli type chickpea varieties CMNK-452-2 and CMNK-10-99 was 60 min. Hassan 2K observed more cooking time （90 min） and highest value of amylose content in cooked （19.01%） samples. The effect of cooking/varietals on sensory evaluation （appearance, flavor, texture and overall acceptability） of mungbean varieties was statistically non significant attributes. Among chickpea varieties, Hassan 2K was ranked lowest due to its small size and hard texture and the sensory attributes were statistically significant （P 〈 0.05） as compared to the other two varieties.

Identification of Genes for Powdery Mildew Resistance in Mungbean

Powdery mildew, which called Sphaerotheca phaseoli in Latin, is one of the major diseases of mungbean （Vigna radiata L.） worldwide, causing up to 50% yield losses. Most mungbean varieties grown in Thailand are susceptible to the disease, therefore, new resistant varieties are highly desirable. Three resistant mungbean lines, V4718, V4758 and V4785, were identified from the AVRDC collection. In this study, the authors compared the resistance levels among these 3 lines and tested the allelic relationship among these resistance genes. Three crosses, V4718 × V4758, V4718 × V4785 and V4758 × V4785, were made and the F1 hybrids were selfed to generate the F2 populations and crossed to a susceptible variety, CN72 to generate the F1 × S populations. In the F1 × S and F2 populations, the resistance segregated in a ratio of 3 Resistant （R）：I Susceptible （S） and 15R：IS, respectively for all three crosses. These results indicate that a single dominant gene confers resistance to powdery mildew in each resistant line and these resistance genes are non-allelic. The authors are currently transferring these resistance genes into commercial varieties to provide durable resistance to powdery mildew.

African Traditional Vegetables as Agents of Integrated Soil Fertility ManangementmCrotalaria and Amaranth Farming

The knowledge and understanding of African leafy vegetables has diminished over time, but in the recent past year there is more interest in their research for their nutritive and medicinal values. Of value are those that have the potential to ameliorate soil nutrient levels. This is with the background that despite inorganic fertilizers （IF） have a dramatic impact on agriculture in the world, the economic situation in Sub-Saharan African calls for alternative methods to reduce soil fertility degradation. The use of leguminous vegetables may be a solution. The study looks at the potential contribution of a leguminous traditional vegetable-- Crotalaria brevidens to soil nitrogen under various treatments. During the study which was conducted over two seasons, C. brevidens was grown under two treatments of IF and organic fertilizer （OF） with a control in which there was no fertilizer （NF） applied. A non-leguminous vegetable--Amaranthus dubious （Amaranth） was grown under the same treatments for comparison purposes. Soil analysis was done before and after planting in the treatment subplots. Growth parameters were measured every fortnight and these included leaf number, shoot length, dry weight and nodule number for Crotalaria. Results indicated that the leguminous vegetable was not affected by external inputs and there were no significant differences between treatments and control. The non-leguminous vegetables responded well to both IF and OF treatments in all the measured parameters. This underlines the potential for improving soil nitrogen levels using leguminous vegetables, especially as intercrops with the non-leguminous types.

COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY OF TWO GEOGRAPHICAL POPULATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN COWPEA WEEVIL, CALLOSOBRUCHUS CHINENSIS (L.) (COLEOPTERA: BRUCHIDAE) IN SOUTHWEST CHINA

The differences of bionomics and ecologics of the two populations of Callosobruchus chinensis on mung bean (Vigna radiatus) at six constant temperatures ( 20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35℃) and 75% r. h. were researched. ANOVA showed that temperature affected the developmental period and fertility significantly (P<0.05). T-test indicated there was significant difference of the combined immature stages between the two geographical populations at 25 and 32℃ (P<0.05). The average oviposition between the two geographical populations differed significantly at the same temperature (P<0.05). At 30℃ and 75% r. h., effects of 5 commercially grown legume seeds on development and reproduction of the two geographical populations of Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) were researched. The results showed that broad bean and soybean were more suitable for increase for Xichang population in terms of r m values. The adult weight and diameter of emergency hole of the two populations were also compared. According to the differences in the characteristics of development, reproduction, and damage to host seeds between the two geographical populations, conclusion can be drawn that both are different geographical populations.
