Sweet Pea

Rhizobium spp. was isolated from root nodules of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), Sweet pea (Lathyrus sativus L.), Chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.). The isolates ware rod shaped, aerobic, gram negative, motile and non-spore forming. Isolates were positive to Catalase, Citrate utilization, Urea hydrolysis, Congored, Nitrification, Oxidase, Triple sugar iron and MacConkey agar test. The isolates can ferment all nine sugars. Then, the isolates identified as Rhizobium spp. depending on above results were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing for further confirmation and identification. Surprisingly, the isolates were same strain or member of same cluster of Rhizobium and identified as Rhizobium sp.CCNWYC119 strain based on 16S rRNA sequence (98% similarity). Then, different parameters of soil quality enrichment and plant growth viz. plant height; weight of pods and seeds; number, fresh and dry weight of nodules were studied to test the efficacy of the isolate as biofertilizer. Here, inoculant of Rhizobium sp. isolated from Pigeon pea was used as biofertilizer. The results showed the significant increase of nodulation, enrichment of soil of rhizosphere, plant growth and yield for all three types of inoculated peas as compared with non-inoculated control peas indicating that the isolated strain could be used as a common efficient biofertilizer for Pigeon pea, Sweet pea and Chick pea. It was also found that the isolate grew optimally at temperature 28°C and pH 7.0. Moreover, the isolate was sensitive to the higher concentration of NaCl (>1%) and to antibiotics- Mecillinam, Ciprofloxacin, Cotrimoxazole, Pefloxacin, Ceftazidime and Tetracycline.

Leguminous Seeds

Five nutritious school meals were developed in a form of pastes based on leguminous seeds of Lentil, Chick pea, and Soya; and some dairy sources, all formulas contain groundnut, but few in crushed formed are used to test acceptance. The products were fortified with essential minerals and vitamins. Developed products were served as a breakfast meal to ~200 students (6-9 years juniors; 10-14 years seniors) in one of the Sudanese school where school feeding is in place (Omdurman City) for 21 days to substitute a traditional breakfast meal based on boiled Pigeon pea colloquially called “Balila” served routinely to the students. This paper covers acceptability of novel favorable products behavioral responses of senior and junior students to four meal/ subject interactions covering temptation to finishing the whole meal, reason(s) for not finishing the whole meal, time needed to finish the meal, and degree of satiety the students feel during class room hours.Almost 95% of the senior students interacted positively with pastes based on lentil or chick pea finishing or stop taking the meal in ? 10 minutes. All past products provide satiety; senior students judged on lentil based paste(s) as the meal that secures full satiety during school hours. Unlike seniors, more than 95% of junior students finished more of the soy based meal, one third of them took more time to finish lentil based meal, yet reflected satisfaction by taking less quantities from all products offered.. Degree of satiety feeling among junior students fluctuated where >90% of them showed satisfactory degree of satiety with all products offered.

Sulfur Containing

Peanuts (Arachis hypogeae L. cv. Florunner), like other legumes, are low in sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. Previous research from our laboratory has resulted in the identification and isolation of a methionine-rich protein (MRP) from peanut. To determine the differential deposition pattern of MRP during seed development and its breakdown pattern during seed germination, immunological studies were conducted using antibodies raised against MRP. The results showed that MRP-3 was deposited very early (in the ‘white’ maturity stage), while the MRP-5 accumulated at a later (the ‘yellow’ maturity stage) stage of seed development. Germination studies showed that MRP-3 degraded after 8 days of germination, while MRP-5 degraded after 10 days of germination. The MRP-3 antibody detected homologous proteins in several other legumes and cereals such as pea, pigeon pea, chick pea, red lentil, brown lentil, rice and wheat, while the MRP-5 antibody reacted with extracts from pea, chick pea and French bean, thus showing a conservation of the MRP subunits across species.

Passiflora Edulis Sims

Green manures can replace or supplement mineral fertilization and add organic matter to the soils, ensuring greater sustainability to fruit growing in semiarid regions. Biological fixation, transfer and balance of nitrogen were determined on an irrigated yellow passion fruit orchard (Passiflora edulis Sims) intercropped separately with three cover crops: sunn hemp, Crotalaria juncea (L.); pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill; and jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. In a fourth treatment, legumes were not planted, but spontaneous vegetation was left to grow freely. The legumes were croped for 90 days in three lines (0.5 m apart) inside the passion fruit plant lines (2.5 m apart). Fixation and transfers were determined by the 15N natural abundance technique, using sunflower as a reference plant. The three planted legumes nodulated abundantly and fixed nitrogen in high proportions (between 50 and 90% of their N), forming symbiosis with bacteria naturally established in the soil. Jack bean produced more biomass than sunn hemp and pigeon pea, and as much as the spontaneous plants, of which 23% were legumes. The amounts of fixed N (150, 43, 30 and 29 kg ha-1) were determined mainly by the biomass of legumes. More than 40% of the N of passion fruit plants came from the biological nitrogen fixation of the intercropped jack bean, which provided an amount of N higher than that exported in the fruits, generating a positive balance of more than 100 kg ha-1. Therefore, it is recommended to intercrop jack bean in irrigated passion fruit orchards.
