Project description:In the present study, a faba bean protein isolate (wBPC) with almost ~80 % crude protein produced by a wet process was investigated in feeds for Atlantic salmon in seawater. Four dietary treatments were tested including one treatment with high inclusion of fishmeal (400 g kg-1, named FM) and three treatments with low fishmeal (216 g kg-1) and increasing inclusions of faba bean protein concentrate (0, 70 and 140 g kg-1) substituting soy protein concentrate (236, 125 and 45 g kg-1), named SPC, BPC7 and BPC14 respectively.
Project description:Drought is one of the most crucial environmental stresses limiting faba bean growth and productivity in the Mediterranean region. In order to explore how the faba bean plant responds to drought stress, a physiological and proteomic analysis was performed in leaf tissue. All physiological parameters were affected by drought. The physiological mechanism underlying the response of faba bean leaves to drought was therefore attributed to the alleviation of oxidative stress via the accumulation of organic solutes such as proline and to the synergistic action of the antioxidant enzyme system (CAT, SOD, APX and GPOX). Proteomic analysis identified 2000 proteins from faba bean leaves, of which were 81 differentially expressed. Of those, 45 were upregulated and 36 were downregulated under drought treatment. GO and KEGG enrichments indicated differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) associated with photosynthesis, antioxidants/detoxifying enzymes, molecular chaperones, biosynthesis of amino acids and secondary metabolites, signal transduction, energy and carbohydrate metabolism and metabolic enzymes. The current results provide evidence for a complex synergetic pathway, in which ROS detoxification mechanisms and photoprotection constituted the major aspect of drought tolerance in faba bean leaves. These results offer a foundational basis regarding the molecular mechanism involved in drought resistance within the faba bean species

Project description:High-quality sources of protein for the formulation of feeds of carnivorous fish species such as Atlantic salmon are currently being sought. In an earlier screening trial we evaluated for the first time in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) the applicability of air-classified faba bean (Vicia faba) protein concentrate (BPC) inclusions in combination with soy protein concentrate (SPC) and fishmeal (FM) using parr as a model. Based on the results in parr in freshwater, the present study tested the hypothesis that BPC can effectively replace SPC as a dietary protein source in post-smolt Atlantic salmon in seawater. Herein we compare three dietary treatments, including BPC0 (no BPC), BPC20 (20% BPC) and BPC40 (40% BPC). Full details on diet formulation are available in the publication.
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.
Project description:Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a relevant crop cultivated over the world, largely in water insufficiency vulnerable areas. Since drought is the main environmental factor restraining worldwide crop production, efforts have been invested to amend drought tolerance in commercial common bean varieties. However, scarce molecular data are available for those cultivars of P. vulgaris with drought tolerance attributes. As a first approach, Pinto Saltillo (PS), Azufrado Higuera (AH), and Negro Jamapa Plus (NP) were assessed phenotypically and physiologically to determine the outcome in response to drought on these common bean cultivars. Based on this, a Next-generation sequencing approach was applied to PS, which was the most drought-tolerant cultivar to determine the molecular changes at the transcriptional level. The RNA-Seq analysis revealed that numerous PS genes are dynamically modulated by drought. In brief, 1005 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, from which 645 genes were up-regulated by drought stress, whereas 360 genes were down-regulated. Further analysis showed that the enriched categories of the up-regulated genes in response to drought fit to processes related to carbohydrate metabolism (polysaccharide metabolic processes), particularly genes encoding proteins located within the cell periphery (cell wall dynamics). In the case of down-regulated genes, heat shock-responsive genes, mainly associated with protein folding, chloroplast, and oxidation-reduction processes were identified. Our findings suggest that secondary cell wall (SCW) properties contribute to P. vulgaris L. drought tolerance through alleviation or mitigation of drought-induced osmotic disturbances, making cultivars more adaptable to such stress. Altogether, the knowledge derived from this study is significant for a forthcoming understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in drought tolerance on common bean, especially for drought-tolerant cultivars such as PS.
