Project description:The immunomodulatory effect of mung bean is mainly attributed to antioxidant properties of flavonoids; however, the precise machinery for biological effect on animal cells remains uncertain. The objective of this study was to understand the physiological change produced by mung bean consumption.

Project description:Soybean (Glycine max) and mung bean (Vigna radiata) are key legumes with global importance, but their mechanisms for coping with cold stress—a major challenge in agriculture—have not been thoroughly investigated, especially in a comparative study. This research aimed to fill this gap by examining how these two major legumes respond differently to cold stress and exploring the role of uniconazole, a potential stress mitigator. Our comprehensive approach involved transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, revealing distinct responses between soybean and mung bean under cold stress conditions. Notably, uniconazole was found to significantly enhance cold tolerance in mung bean by upregulating genes associated with photosynthesis, while its impact on soybean was either negligible or adverse. To further understand the molecular interactions, we utilized advanced machine learning algorithms for protein structure prediction, focusing on photosynthetic pathways. This enabled us to identify LOC106780309 as a direct binding target for uniconazole, confirmed through isothermal titration calorimetry. This research establishes a new comparative approach to explore how soybean and mung bean adapt to cold stress, offers key insights to improve the hardiness of legumes against environmental challenges, and contributes to sustainable agricultural practices and food security.

Project description:Mung bean contains up to 25% of the protein, is one of the great sources of plant-based protein. Since many allergens also function as defense-related proteins, it is important to determine their abundance level in the high-yielding disease-resistant cultivars. In this study, for the first time, we compared the seed proteome of disease-resistant high-yielding mung bean cultivars developed by conventional breeding approach. Using label-free quantitative proteomic platform, we successfully identified and quantified a total of 1373 proteins. Comparative analysis between the high-yielding disease-resistant cultivar (MC5) and other three cultivars showed a total of 69 proteins were significantly altered in abundance and overlapped across the cultivars. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis of these altered proteins demonstrated that PDF1 (a defensin-like protein) exhibited high sequence similarity and epitope matching with the established peanut allergens (Ara h 12 and 13), indicating a potential mung bean allergen. Conversely, known mung bean allergen proteins such as Vig r 2, Vig r 4, LTP1, PR2, beta-Conglycinin, and Glycinin G4 showed no alternation in the MC5 compared to other cultivars. Taken together, our findings suggest that the known allergen profiles may not be impacted by the conventional plant breeding method to develop improved mung bean cultivars.
