In Zaire the distribution of four of the wild species in the genusPsophocarpus ranges from humid, evergreen, Guinea-Congolian rainforests to high altitude woodlands, dry semi-deciduous forests, and savanna. Material ofPsophocarpus scandens, P. grandiflorus, P. lancifolius, P. lecomtei, andP. lancifolius (yellow-seeded form) were collected from wild and naturalized populations in Zaire. Various organs ofP. scandens, P. grandiflorus, andP. lancifolius are used as food sources, medicinals, and as sources of tannins.Psophocarpus lancifolius andP. lecomtei have reportedly been used as a food source and fish poison, respectively. The various organs were analyzed for carbohydrate, lipid, N, S, P, K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Al, Mn, B, Cu, and Zn. In their own right, these species have potential for wider use as food sources and genetic material for improvement breeding with the cultivated winged bean, Local names, phenological notes, presence of pests and diseases, and ecogeographical information are presented. 相似文献

Specimens of Palaeocarya (Juglandaceae) were collected from the upper Pliocene of western Yunnan Province, which is a new geographical and age range record of engelhardioid winged fruits in China. A numerical taxonomic investigation based on 14 morphological characters of fossil and extant specimens of engelhardioid winged fruits in China was conducted using multivariate methods. Phenetic clustering shows that there are four morphotypical groups which we assign to four species. Two groups are assigned to the previously described fossil species, Palaeocarya guangxiensis Li Hao-Min et Chen Yun-Fa, 2003 and Palaeocarya koreanica (Oishi) Manchester, 1987. Two new species are recognized, Palaeocarya yunnanensis and Palaeocarya longialata. These Neogene Engelhardieae fruits provide fossil data for understanding the origin and evolution of the Engelhardia species that now inhabit South China. 相似文献

The primary structure of acidic trypsin inhibitor-2a (WBTI-2a,pI 5.9) fromPsophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC seed was determined. This inhibitor consists of a single polypeptide chain of 180 amino acids including four half-cystine residues and has an N-terminal residue of pyroglutamic acid. The sequence of WBTI-2a,pI 5.9, showed 84% identity to acidic trypsin inhibitor-2 (WBTI-2,pI 5.1) but only 57% identity to the basic trypsin inhibitor (WBTI-1,pI 8.9) and 50% identity to the chymotrypsin inhibitor of winged bean. The data indicate that winged bean seed contains a family of three Kunitz-type inhibitors which have about 50% identity. 相似文献

The incidence, severity and distribution of false rust, (Synchytrium psophocarpi), leaf spot (Pseudocercospora psophocarpi) and powdery mildew (Oidium sp.) on winged beans (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) were evaluated on pure lines and mixed stands grown in Papua New Guinea between 1976 and 1978. Almost all of the 148 pure lines were susceptible to false rust and leaf spot and the incidence of these diseases increased with plant age. Standard area diagrams were superior to disease keys in evaluating disease severity. Levels of false rust on 10 promising agronomic lines differed according to the locality where the lines were grown. Two Thai lines showed resistance to false rust but P. scandens was immune to false rust and leaf spot. Surveys of 51 sites containing mixed stands of winged beans in the Eastern Highlands, Western Highlands, East New Britain, East Sepik, Madang and Morobe Provinces of Papua New Guinea indicated that leaf spot and false rust were present in both the wet and dry seasons and the apparent absence of disease was probably due to time and size of samples. The diseases appeared to be present in all the traditional winged bean growing areas of Papua New Guinea. It was difficult to obtain evidence of differences in palatability of tissues infected with false rust. The value of surveys and disease assessment in relation to evaluation of crop losses of winged bean caused by these pathogens and selection for resistance is discussed. 相似文献

The genusPhaseolus (Fabaceae) consists of some 50 species, all of which are distributed in the Americas. Four of these contain cultigens.P. vulgaris (common bean),P. lunatus (lima bean),P. acutifolius (tepary bean),P. coccineus subsp.coccineus (runner bean); andP. coccineus subsp.polyanthus (no English vernacular name). Biochemical markers—phaseolin seed storage protein and isozymes—have provided new evidence on the organization of the first three species. Domestication has possibly caused a strong reduction in genetic diversity inP. vulgaris andP. acutifolius. BothP. vulgaris andP. lunatus cultivars result from at least two independent domestications, in Mesoamerica and in the Andes. These two species consist of two gene pools, each of which includes wild ancestors and their respective cultivated descendants. Our findings suggest the need for additional emphasis on genetic conservation of wild ancestors and their use in breeding programs and for a comparison of inter-gene pool vs. intra-gene pool crosses in breeding programs. 相似文献

Many tiny yellow poppies are grown in the town area of Rishiri Island, Japan. Because the phenotype of this cultivated poppy is similar to that of Papaver fauriei, which is endemic to Mt. Rishiri, Rishiri Island, residents on the island call the cultivated poppy “P. fauriei” although the origin of the cultivated poppy is uncertain. To estimate the origin of the cultivated poppy, its internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence was compared with those found in the Far East wild poppies P. fauriei, P. alboroseum, P. miyabeanum and P. nudicaule. Although the ITS sequence of the cultivated poppy was not identical to those found in the wild species, it was most similar to that of P. miyabeanum, indicating that the cultivated poppy is not P. fauriei. However, cultivated poppy seeds have been sown several times over a period of at least 20 years in wild P. fauriei habitats on Mt. Rishiri in the hope of aiding the recovery of P. fauriei populations in wild habitats. Poppy plants in the wild habitats where such seeds have been sown showed the same ITS sequences as those of the cultivated poppy, indicating that the cultivated poppy is established in these wild habitats. This is a case of a nonindigenous species being introduced to wild habitats through human actions. 相似文献

The effects of high (15 mM) and low (0.75 mM) solution nitratelevels on nitrogen metabolism in three genotypes (IL 7A, IL13 and IL 21) of winged beans [Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.)DC.] and one genotype (Williams) of soya bean [Glycine max (L.)Merrill] were investigated. Plants were grown for 42 days ina greenhouse in solution culture prior to sampling. The 15 mM nitrate treatment resulted in greater growth of allplant parts except roots. Growth of soya beans was more responsiveto nitrate level than was growth of winged beans. The high nitratelevel inhibited nodulation in all plants. The IL 13 and IL 21winged bean genotypes had similar nitrogenase activity (acetylenereduction per plant) as the soya bean and IL 7A winged beangenotype had lower activity. However, the IL 13 winged beangenotype had higher nitrogenase activity (acetylene reductionper unit nodule mass) than the other three genotypes which allhad similar activity. The 15 mM solution nitrate level stimulatedleaf and root nitrate reductase (NR) activity for all plants.All winged bean genotypes had higher leaf NR activity and higherpercentage reduced- and nitrate-nitrogen contents of leavesand stems compared with soya beans. However, total protein (reducednitrogen) was greater in soya beans when sampled indicatingthat more nitrate had been metabolized by soya beans than bywinged beans during the 42-day growth period.

The taxonomy and geographical distribution ofEchinodorus grandiflorus (Cham. etSchlecht.)Mich. (Alismataceae) are stated. Former authors also included plants from southern Brazil and Argentina in this species, without the typical pellucid points on the blades; these belong to different species or to hybrids. The author further describes the hybrids ofE. grandiflorus with some other species of the same genus and two varieties. 相似文献

The main objective of the present study was to investigate phosphorus (P) dynamics in the rhizosphere of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum durum L.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in monocropping and intercropping systems with nitrate supply. Wheat and common bean were grown either alone or in association in a cropping device with a thin (1 mm) soil layer sandwiched between large root mats. Wheat intercropped with common bean exhibited a 33% increase in shoot biomass and a 22% increased root biomass, without significantly affecting common bean growth. After 12 days of culture, rhizosphere pH decreased by 1.66 and 1.13 units in monocropping system of common bean and intercropping system, respectively. Wheat increased intercropped common bean proton release by 36% compared with monocropped beans. Common bean and wheat exhibited different behaviors in rhizosphere P dynamics. Monocropped wheat decreased Resin-P, NaHCO3-P and NaOH-P in its rhizosphere by 24, 96 and 10%, respectively. However, NaHCO3-P and NaOH-P were increased by 61 and 10% in the rhizosphere of intercropping. Almost all values about P fraction in intercropping system were between those in monocropped common bean and monocropped wheat. Through taping different P fraction, different plants species possibly can alleviate competition for phosphorus in intercropping system. 相似文献

Generality and Diversity of Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) Protein in Eight Various Lines
Sonoe Ochiai Yanagi Nobuko Yoshida Kyoko Saio 《Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry》2013,77(10):2267-2271
Protein components from eight lines of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) seeds which were originally introduced from Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Ishigaki, and cultivated in Okinawa and Fukuoka, were investigated. Two major peaks which had sedimentation coefficients, s20, of about 2.5S and about 6.5S (6.0 to 6.6 for the 8 lines), and no larger component were observed in all specimens with more than 90% extraction. Electrophoretic profiles of the “6.5S” component(s) which was separated with Sepharose 6B column chromatography showed a main broad band and a few minor bands which seemed to be essentially similar among the eight lines of winged bean. Thus the “6.5S” protein surely could be regarded as the common storage protein in winged bean seeds. The subunit structure of the “6.5S” component(s) in SDS solution consisted of four major bands. The “2.5S” components were mixtures and combinations of various proteins which were distinctly different from one selection to another. 相似文献

The mold flora of seeds of twelve varieties of winged beans was determined both before and after surface disinfections. When seeds were surface disinfected, mold fungi were detected in 73% of the seeds whereas 81% of the seed that was not disinfected produced mold fungi. Aspergillus spp. was most frequently present while Penicillium spp. occurred in seed of 4 varieties and in less than 4% of the seed. Twelve isolates oiA. flavus and A. parasiticus were examined for their ability to produce aflatoxins. Whether aflatoxins were produced and the amount of each varied according to the origin of the isolate and the species of Aspergillus. For example all A. parasiticus isolates produced at least 2 aflatoxins whereas 4 of the A. parasiticus isolates were non-toxigenic. When ground seeds of winged beans were inoculated with an aflatoxigenic strain of A. parasiticus the level of aflatoxins that occurred varied with the variety, however, the level of aflatoxin was higher in winged bean than in peanut tissue and 6 of the 12 winged bean varieties contained higher levels of aflatoxins than rice. 相似文献

Host acceptance by gynoparae and winged virginoparae of the bird cherry‐oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) is investigated utilizing leaves and aqueous extracts of the primary and secondary hosts, as well as nonhost plants. Gynoparae are specialized to reproduce on bird cherry Prunus padus L., whereas virginoparae reproduce and feed on various grasses. Host acceptance is assessed using levels of reproduction and survival for adults, as well as survival for nymphs. Little is known of host acceptance by nymphs. The data show that gynoparae and winged virginoparae produce nymphs almost exclusively on their host plants, bird cherry and barley leaves, respectively, over 72 h. When tested with aqueous plant extracts, however, gynoparae produce nymphs almost exclusively on bird cherry extract and progeny numbers are found to be similar to those on plant leaves. Few nymphs are produced on artificial diet. By contrast, winged virginoparae produce nymphs on aqueous extracts of barley, bird cherry and bean, as well as on artificial diet. The numbers of nymphs deposited by gynoparae are similar on aqueous extracts of bird cherry leaves collected at different times during the growing season. When extracts from leaves of various Prunus species are tested, only leaves of P. padus and Prunus virginiana stimulate parturition. Oviparae, the sexual female nymphs of gynoparae, survive well for 96 h on both bird cherry and barley leaves but not on bean seedlings, whereas nymphs of winged virginoparae survive well only on barley leaves. They do not survive for 96 h on any plant‐leaf extracts, although they do survive on artificial diet. 相似文献

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) diversity has been examined using PCR-RFLP and RFLP strategies for phylogenetic studies in the genus
Phaseolus. Twenty-two species, including 4 of the 5 cultivated species (P. lunatus L., the Lima bean; P. vulgaris L., the common bean; P. coccineus L., the runner bean and P. polyanthus Greenman, the year-bean), represented by 86 accessions were included in the study. Six PCR primers designed from cpDNA and
a total cpDNA probe were used for generating markers. Phylogenetic reconstruction using both Wagner parsimony and the neighbor-joining
method was applied to the restriction fragment data obtained from each of the molecular approaches. P. vulgaris L. was shown to separate with several species of largely Mesoamerican distribution, including P. coccineus L. and P. polyanthus Greenman, whereas P. lunatus L. forms a complex with 3 Andean species (P. pachyrrhizoides Harms, P. augusti Harms and P. bolivianus Piper) co-evolving with a set of companion species with a Mesoamerican distribution. Andean forms of the Lima bean are found
to be more closely related to the 3 Andean wild species than its Mesoamerican forms. An Andean origin of the Lima bean and
a double derivative process during the evolution of P. lunatus are suggested. The 3 Andean species are proposed to constitute the secondary gene pool of P. lunatus, while its companion allies of Mesoamerican distribution can be considered as members of its tertiary gene pool. On the basis
of these data, an overview on the evolution of the genus Phaseolus is also discussed.

The Pyrus species exhibit the so-called S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility system, which is considered to be the most widespread self-incompatibility system among flowering plants. In this study, 57 Iranian pear (Pyrus communis L.) domestic cultivars and wild genotypes, plus 21 European pear cultivars used as references, were genotyped adopting a PCR-based genotyping assay using consensus and allele-specific primers. The results revealed traces of significant genetic contribution in the Iranian traditional varieties and genotypes from other Pyrus species; the genetic contribution of Japanese pear clearly emerged with the detection of some Pyrus pyrifolia S-RNase alleles. Moreover, our results highlighted the presence of three new S-RNase alleles (named S126, S127, and S128) that were not previously identified in P. communis, possibly introduced in the germplasm of cultivated pear through gene transfer from other cultivated or wild species. 相似文献

Background and Aims
This study was conducted to reveal the genetic diversity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodulating rhizobia in various agroecological regions in Nepal.Method
A total of 63 strains were isolated from common bean grown in the soils collected from seven bean fields in Nepal and characterized based on the partial sequences of 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, 16S rDNA, nodC, and nifH. Symbiotic properties of some representative strains with host plants were examined to elucidate their characteristics in relation to genotype and their origin.Results
The isolated strains belonged to Rhizobium leguminosarum, Rhizobium etli, Rhizobium phaseoli, and one unknown Rhizobium lineage, all belonging to a common symbiovar (sv.) phaseoli. Nine ITS genotypes were detected mainly corresponding to a single site, including a dominant group at three sites harboring highly diverse multiple ITS sequences. Three symbiotic genotypes corresponded to a geographical region, not to the ribosomal DNA group, suggesting horizontal transfer of symbiotic genes separately in each region. Great differences in nitrogenase activity and nodule forming ability among the strains irrespective of their species and origin were observed.Conclusions
Nepalese Himalaya harbor phylogenetically highly diverse and site-specific strains of common bean rhizobia, some of which could have high potential of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. 相似文献17.

The content of gibberellin-like substances in nodules formed by Bradyrhizobium species strain 127E14 on roots of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) has been previously found to be relatively high. The objectives of the present study were to purify and identify the endogenous gibberellins from the stems and nodules of lima bean. By sequential silica gel partition column chromatography, C18 reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the gibberellins A1, A3, A19, A20, A29, and A44 were identified from root nodules. Gibberellins A1, A3, A19, A20, and A44 were also identified from lima bean stem tissue. These data provide the first mass spectral-based evidence that gibberellins are present in leguminous root nodules. The presence of the gibberellins identified indicates that the early 13-hydroxylation gibberellin biosynthetic pathway predominates in stem and nodule tissue. However, it is not known if the gibberellins within the nodules are produced in situ, or if they are imported from some remote host plant tissue. 相似文献

A two-step purification protocol was used in an attempt to separate the constitutive NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase [NAD(P)H-NR, pH 6.5; EC 1.6.6.2] activity from the nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NO(x)) evolution activity extracted from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaflets. Both of these activities were eluted with NADPH from Blue Sepharose columns loaded with extracts from either wild-type or LNR-5 and LNR-6 (lack constitutive NADH-NR [pH 6.5]) mutant soybean plants regardless of nutrient growth conditions. Fast protein liquid chromatography-anion exchange (Mono Q column) chromatography following Blue Sepharose affinity chromatography was also unable to separate the two activities. These data provide strong evidence that the constitutive NAD(P)H-NR (pH 6.5) in soybean is the enzyme responsible for NO(x) formation. The Blue Sepharose-purified soybean enzyme has a pH optimum of 6.75, an apparent Km for nitrite of 0.49 millimolar, and an apparent Km for NADPH and NADH of 7.2 and 7.4 micromolar, respectively, for the NO(x) evolution activity. In addition to NAD(P)H, reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH2) and reduced methyl viologen (MV) can serve as electron donors for NO(x) evolution activity. The NADPH-, FMNH2-, and reduced MV-NO(x) evolution activities were all inhibited by cyanide. The NADPH activity was also inhibited by p-hydroxymer-curibenzoate, whereas, the FMNH2 and MV activities were relatively insensitive to inhibition. These data indicate that the terminal molybdenum-containing portion of the enzyme is involved in the reduction of nitrite to NO(x). NADPH eluted both NR and NO(x) evolution activities from Blue Sepharose columns loaded with extracts of either nitrate- or zero N-grown winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus [L.]), whereas NADH did not elute either type of activity. Winged bean appears to contain only one type of NR enzyme that is similar to the constitutive NAD(P)H-NR (pH 6.5) enzyme of soybean. 相似文献

The primary structure of acidic trypsin inhibitor-2a (WBTI-2a,pI 5.9) fromPsophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC seed was determined. This inhibitor consists of a single polypeptide chain of 180 amino acids including four half-cystine residues and has an N-terminal residue of pyroglutamic acid. The sequence of WBTI-2a,pI 5.9, showed 84% identity to acidic trypsin inhibitor-2 (WBTI-2,pI 5.1) but only 57% identity to the basic trypsin inhibitor (WBTI-1,pI 8.9) and 50% identity to the chymotrypsin inhibitor of winged bean. The data indicate that winged bean seed contains a family of three Kunitz-type inhibitors which have about 50% identity. 相似文献
