Combining with seed coating method, rhodamine B (RB), a kind of fluorescent compounds had been used in seed labeling as an anti-counterfeiting technology. Effects of broad bean seed coating with RB on physiological parameters and fluorescence performance in broad bean seedlings were performed. The prolonged fluorescence in vascular bundles of seedlings treated with RB could be used as a marker of seed anti-counterfeiting. The experiment showed that RB had no negative effect on seed germination, seedling growth, seedling protective enzyme activities, and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and chlorophyll, after coating seeds with ratio 1 kg RB to 10–30 kg seeds. In addition, the RB adsorption by soil was accorded with the isothermal adsorption equations of Langmuir, which exhibited the linear correlation as 0.9959, the maximum adsorption as 1.716 mg/g, and the adsorption equilibrium constant as 0.042 L/mg. The soil adsorption of RB could be effectively degraded by UV/Fenton. Present research suggested that coating broad bean seeds with appropriate concentration RB were safe to seed germination and this technology was suitable for anti-counterfeiting application.

Background Faba bean ( Vicia faba L) is one of the most important legumes in the world. However, there is relatively little genomic information available for this species owing to its large genome. The lack of data impedes the discovery of molecular markers and subsequent genetic research in faba bean. The objective of this study was to analyze the faba bean transcriptome, and to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to determine the genetic diversity of 226 faba bean varieties derived from different regions in China. Methods Faba bean varieties with different phenotype were used in transcriptome analysis. The functions of the unigenes were analyzed using various database. SSR markers were developed and the polymorphic markers were selected to conduct genetic diversity analysis. Results A total of 92.43 Gb of sequencing data was obtained in this study, and 133,487 unigene sequences with a total length of 178,152,541 bp were assembled. A total of 5,200 SSR markers were developed on the basis of RNA-Seq analysis. Then, 200 SSR markers were used to evaluate polymorphisms. In total, 103 (51.5%) SSR markers showed significant and repeatable bands between different faba bean varieties. Clustering analysis revealed that 226 faba bean materials were divided into five groups. Genetic diversity analysis revealed that the relationship between different faba beans in China was related, especially in the same region. These results provided a valuable data resource for annotating genes to different categories and developing SSR markers.

Climate change is affecting agricultural production and other aspects of life but only limited number of studies took interest in characterizing and projecting climate and its impact on crop production at local level. The threat to agricultural sector is more serious in Ethiopia, where climate is influenced by diverse topography and varying landscape features. This study was conducted in Welmera area to model the impacts of climate change on production of two faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) varieties (Tums and Gora). Historical climate and crop yield data were obtained from the National Meteorological Agency of Ethiopia and Holeta Agricultural Research Center, respectively. Future climate data were downscaled by an average ensemble of four GCMs (BSS-CSM1-1, HadGEM2-ES, MIROC-ESM, NorESM1-M) in near- and mid-century (2030s and 2050s) under both RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. Rainfall by near-century will increase by up to 50% depending on the concentration pathway considered compared to the baseline period (1988–2017). The projected average rainfall total of belg season (FMAM) will increase by 88.17% under RCP 4.5 scenario and 95.38% under RCP 8.5 scenario in near-century. The future projection revealed that the highest mean monthly rainfall and temperature changes will occur in July (147.3 mm/month) and August (0.24 °C/month) under RCP8.5. However, in August and September mean monthly rainfall will decrease dramatically by 50.85 % and 31.05% from 2020 to 2079 under RCP 8.5 and RCP 4.5, respectively. The yield of Tumsa variety will decrease by up to 24.19% under RCP8.5 in mid-century. Gora variety will see an increase of yield by 18.24% under RCP 4.5 in mid-century and 28.03% under RCP 8.5 in near-century. Overall, the area will experience an increase and a decrease in faba bean yield for both varieties in the upcoming decades in the study area. Performance evaluation of the models showed that they were able to predict future yield faba bean varieties in the area with acceptable accuracy. Inconsistency of future climate variables and impact on fababean production underscores the need to develop location-specific adaptation strategies. Further studies that consider wider area could be necessary to better understand the impact of future climate on faba bean production in the study area and similar agroecologies in the country.

In order to further explain the fillet texture improvement of Yellow River carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) fed with faba bean ( Vicia faba L.), a three-month rearing trial was conducted to investigate fatty acid composition, antioxidant capacity, myofiber development, collagen deposition and transcriptome in white muscle of two farmed carp groups (One was fed only faba bean, the other was fed commercial diet). As a strong oxidant, faba bean changed fatty acids composition in white muscle, especially DHA and EPA, up-regulated the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and down-regulated major antioxidant enzyme activities in the hepatopancreas and white muscle. Through the analysis of transcriptome and subsequent verification analysis, we speculated that the increase of ROS led to the decrease of myofiber diameter and collagen metabolism. This study provides a theoretical basis for further understanding the regulation of faba bean on fillet texture characteristic of Yellow River carp.

The structure and physicochemical properties of starch isolated from the cotyledon and hull of faba beans and from wheat (as reference) were examined using 16 different methods. The amylose content in faba bean cotyledon and hull starch was 32% and 36%, respectively, and that in wheat starch was 21%. The faba bean cotyledon and hull starch were structurally alike both displaying C-polymorphic pattern, a similar degree of branching and similar branch chain length distributions. Wheat starch had a significantly greater prevalence of short amylopectin chains (DP < 12) and a higher degree of branching. Granules in both faba bean starches exhibited surface cracks and were more homogenous in size than the smoother wheat starch granules. Gelatinisation temperature was higher for the faba bean starches, likely as an effect of high amylose content and longer starch chains delaying granular swelling. Cotyledon starch produced pastes with the highest viscosities in all rheological measurements, probably owing to larger granules. Higher prevalence of lipids and resistant starch reduced the viscosity values for hull starch. For all starches, viscosity increased at faster heating rates. During the rheological analyses, the samples were exposed to different instruments, heating rates and temperatures ranges, differing from standard rheological procedures, which could help predict how different processing techniques effect the final starch textures.

The diploid cool-season legume species, faba bean (Vicia faba L.), is one of the vital pulses for the people in the world as it maintains the sustainability of agriculture and provides nutrient-rich grains. Biotic and abiotic stresses are, however, challenging the faba bean production in many countries. The foliar diseases of faba bean are among the major constraints for the production and productivity of faba bean. Recently, a new foliar disease “Faba bean gall” caused by plant debris and soil-borne pathogen (Olpidium viciae K.) is rapidly spreading and causing high yield losses in Ethiopia. This review paper presents the distribution, impact, epidemiology, and biology of faba bean gall pathogen and principally illustrates how the application and investigation of the various diseases’ management approaches such as avoiding crop residues, crop rotation, intercropping, use of elicitors to induce host resistance, use of resistant genotypes, bioagents, compost teas, plant extracts, and lastly use of chemical fungicides could be important to control the faba bean gall disease underlying in faba bean.

Faba bean has gained attention as a cost-effective protein source with the potential to enhance product quality (texture properties, collagen content, etc.) in fish. However, its anti-nutrition factor, high feed conversion ratio, poor growth performance, etc. limit the widely application as a dietary source, especially in carnivorous fish. The water or alcohol extract of faba bean might resolve the problem. In this study, the juvenile Nibea coibor , known for their high-protein, large-sized, and high-grade swim bladder, were fed with seven isoproteic and isolipid experimental diets with the additive of faba bean water extract (1.25%, 2.5%, and 5%) or faba bean alcohol extract (0.9%, 1.8%, and 3.6%), with a control group without faba bean extract. After the 10-week feeding trail, the growth, antioxidant capacity, textural properties, and collagen deposition of the swim bladder were analyzed. Results showed that the 1.25% faba bean water extract group could significantly promote growth, textural quality of the swim bladder, and have beneficial effects on antioxidant response of fish. Conversely, dietary supplementation of faba bean alcohol extract resulted in reduced growth performance in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, fish fed diet with 1.25% faba bean water extract exhibited increased collagen content and upregulated collagen-related gene expression in the swim bladder, which was consistent with the Masson stain analysis for collagen fiber. Our results suggested that the anti-nutrient factor and bioactive component of faba bean may mainly be enriched in alcohol extract and water extract of faba bean, respectively. Besides, the appropriate addition of water extract of faba bean may improve the texture quality of the swim bladder by promoting collagen deposition. This study would provide a theoretical basis for the formulated diets with faba bean extract to promote product quality of marine fish.

Background and aims Trace element contamination, like cadmium (Cd), threatens agriculture and health. This study assessed Cd stress effects on photosynthesis in faba bean and evaluated mitigation using intercropping with wheat and calcium oxide nanoparticles (CaO NPs). Methods Five treatment groups were established: faba bean monoculture without Cd addition (M), monoculture with Cd addition (M + Cd), monoculture with both Cd and CaO NPs (M + Cd + CaO NPs), wheat-faba bean intercropping with Cd addition (I + Cd), and intercropping with both Cd and CaO NPs (I + Cd + CaO NPs). Results Compared with M, the M + Cd treatment significantly suppressed faba bean growth by 34.1–102.9%, decreased the mineral nutrient content by 90.0–142.7%, reduced the photosynthetic pigments by 136.5–207.1%, lowered the photosynthetic rate by 60.0–198.5%, diminished the electron transfer efficiency by 19.8–117.8%, and decreased the photosynthetically assimilated substances by 70.8–123.2%. Severe damage to chloroplast structure was also observed. Compared with the M + Cd treatment, the I + Cd + CaO NPs treatment significantly alleviated these inhibitory effects. It restored damaged chloroplast structures, increased photosynthetic pigment content by 76.0–144.0%, enhanced photosynthetic rates by 14.5–71.1%, improved electron transport efficiency by 14.5–71.1%, and reduced Cd accumulation in stems and roots by 66.1–131.9%. Conclusion The integration of intercropping and CaO NPs application enhanced photosynthetic performance and plant growth in faba bean, thereby reducing the toxic impact of Cd stress. Graphical

In this study, Faba bean stalk was liquefied for the production of biopolyols and polyurethane (PU) foams. The influences of various reaction conditions on biopolyols and PU foams were examined. Furthermore, the property relationships between biopolyols and PU foams were investigated. Biopolyols produced under the liquefaction conditions of 160°C, 90 min, 3% sulfuric acid loading, and 20% Faba bean stalk loading showed promising material properties (i.e. hydroxyl number, 496.1 mg KOH/g, acid number, 17.9 mg KOH/g, and viscosity, 1.1 Pa.s). PU foams produced from promising biopolyols showed compressive strength of 205 kPa and density of 0.035 g/cm3. The results suggested that in addition to density, the compressive strength of PU foams might also be affected by factors such as biomass residues or the chemical structures of biopolyols. The biopolyols and PU foams produced showed material properties comparable to those of conventional PU foams.

High-pressure microfluidization (HPM) (5 cycles at 207 MPa) improves faba bean protein functionalities. • Fifth cycle reduces particle size to 255 nm, enhances functional attributes. • HPM induces structural flexibility while impairing gel hardness and viscoelasticity. • Strong correlations link β-turn content and reduced particle size to enhanced functionality. • Provides a non-thermal strategy to valorize faba bean protein for plant-based food applications. This work investigated the influence of high-pressure microfluidization (HPM) at a constant pressure of 207 MPa for 1–6 cycles on the structural, physicochemical, techno-functional, and gelling attributes of faba bean protein (FBP) isolates. Salt-extracted FBP was used as the native protein (control). Treatment with five HPM was the most efficient treatment in reducing particle size (250 nm), while increasing protein solubility to 102.5%, antioxidant properties (DPPH: 94.77%; ABTS: 74.03%), foaming capacity, and emulsion stability index ( p < 0.05). HPM also increased the absolute values of zeta potential and brightness of FBP isolates. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) displayed higher-intensity subunits with lower molecular weights (17–25 kDa) in treated samples. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and intrinsic fluorescence analyses indicated greater flexibility and mobility in its secondary and tertiary structure of HPM-treated FBP than the control. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated substantial degradation of protein microstructures, peaking at the fifth cycle. However, HPM treatment impaired gel properties, reducing hardness, texture, viscosity, and viscoelastic attributes, due to the breakdown of polymeric chains and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The present results provide a promising non-thermal approach to enhance the techno-functional properties of underutilized FBP for plan-based food formulations.

In this experiment, the effects of different concentrations of cassava starch (CS) on the gel behavior of faba bean protein (FBP) were studied, focusing on the structural characteristics, gel characteristics and physical and chemical characteristics of the gel system. Specifically, with the increase of CS concentration from 4 % to 12 %, the morphology of the sample changed from fluid to gel solid. From the molecular structure, different concentrations of CS affected the secondary and tertiary structures of FBP protein, which made aromatic amino acids move to the surface of protein and promoted the transformation from α-helix to β-sheet. In addition, free sulfhydryl groups are converted into disulfide bonds, which increases the number of hydrogen bonds in the system. Microscopically, high temperature treatment leads to the cracking of CS and FBP structures, which enhances the noncovalent interactions between them, and forms a compact and smaller pore three-dimensional network structure, providing more channels for external moisture to transfer to the inside. From the gel characteristics, the water holding capacity, viscoelasticity and mechanical behavior of the composite gel were improved when the concentration of CS was 6 %-12 %. This work provides reference for the application of cassava starch-faba bean protein gel in specific food and medicine fields.

Cronobacter sakazakii poses significant neonatal health risks due to its exceptional desiccation tolerance and virulence, yet the molecular mechanisms linking membrane lipid regulation to these traits remain poorly defined. This study characterizes the global regulator FadR (ESA_01467) as a key modulator of fatty acid metabolism, membrane fluidity, and pathogenicity. Deletion of fadR resulted in a 52 % decrease in adhesion and 61 % reduction in invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, alongside attenuated virulence and reduced bacterial loads in a neonatal rat model. Proteomic and lipidomic analyses revealed downregulation of FabA and FabB, upregulation of beta-oxidation enzymes, and a 25 % increase in membrane rigidity associated with decreased levels of palmitoleic and oleic acids. The Δ fadR mutant showed a 3.2-log reduction in viability following 14 days of desiccation in phosphate-buffered saline, while survival in milk powder remained unaffected. Supplementation with milk-derived long-chain fatty acids restored both membrane fluidity and desiccation survival to wild-type levels. These findings establish FadR as a central regulator linking lipid homeostasis to environmental adaptation and virulence in C. sakazakii , providing mechanistic insight into its persistence in dry food environments and infection risk.
