Current screening methods are laborious and hampered by limited reproducibility. To remedy this situation, we aimed to establish a simple and reliable hydroponics-based screening system to facilitate studies of red clover–<i>Fusarium avenaceum</i> interactions. First, the fungal spore concentrations were balanced toward the development of red clover plants grown hydroponically. We found that the optimum concentration was 30,000 spores in 2 L of hydroponic medium to ensure infection during the plant growth period in this system. The procedure was scaled-up to screen plants from 25 populations to identify red clover individuals with the improved resistance to <i>F. avenaceum</i>. Susceptible plants had approximately two-fold higher amounts of fungal DNA than resistant plants, demonstrating a correlation between the disease readings of the plants and pathogen DNA. We foresee this screening procedure meeting the needs of both applied breeding work and in-depth molecular studies of responses between this pathogen and its host plant. This method could be applied for the screening of other plant species for resistance to <i>Fusarium</i> spp. or to other root microbes.</p>","PeriodicalId":17929,"journal":{"name":"Legume Science","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/leg3.209","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135729894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This requires a broadening scope of mungbean adaptation to warmer climates. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of heat stress on various mungbean genotypes for their seed protein characteristics (total seed protein content, proportion of four protein fractions, and electrophoretic patterns on SDS-gels). The 13 mungbean genotypes were grown under normal and heat-stressed conditions by sowing seeds at two different times, that is, the normal sowing time in the last week of March and late sowing in the last week of April in the experimental plots. In late-sown plants, the total seed proteins decreased by 4.1% to 9.3%. In addition, the relative proportion of glutelins and prolamins increased significantly while globulins and albumins decreased at high temperatures. Moreover, the intensity of polypeptides decreased under high temperatures. In our studies, some polypeptides appeared, and others disappeared in late-sown genotypes. The disappearance of bands reveals a higher rate of protein degradation than synthesis under heat stress.

However, consumption is declining in many regions around the world. Addressing barriers to greater pulse intake is important to reverse this trend. Cooking time is one such barrier, with consumers viewing the long cooking times of many pulses as a hurdle to higher consumption due to lack of time or fuel availability. Equipping consumers with simple, accessible ways to reduce pulse cooking time is one way to mitigate this barrier. Accordingly, this study assessed changes to cooking time when pinto beans (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.) were cooked at four elevations using different soaking conditions, which reflect a combination of the soaking method and salt added to the soaking solution. There were seven different cooking conditions: soaking via the overnight or quick soak method in only water or in 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO<sub>3</sub>) solutions and a no soak with no salt added comparison. Using an overnight (12-h) soak or a quick soak resulted in similar reductions in cooking time compared to unsoaked beans. Soaking in NaCl and NaHCO<sub>3</sub> solutions further decreased cooking time than when only water was used, with the shortest cooking times seen for NaHCO<sub>3</sub>. Elevation also impacted cooking time, with the longest cooking time being for unsoaked beans at the highest testing elevation. Adding either salt to the soaking water reduced the effect of elevation.
