“…Legume seeds are rich in many nutrient components including protein, starch, dietary fibre, certain fatty acids and micronutrients such as vitamins, trace minerals (Morrow, 1991;Souci et al, 2000;Hanbury et al, 2000;Seabre et al, 2001;Troszynska & Ciska, 2002). For example, grain legumes provide about third of all dietary protein nitrogen and one-third of processed vegetable oil for human consumption (Gepts et al, 2005). The pulses are also important as potential sources of natural tocopherols, tocotirenols and fatty acid composition all over the world (Gopala-Krishna et al, 1997).…”

Abstract.-In the present study, levels of vitamin and fatty acid composition in mature seeds of some Lathyrus L. taxa [L. roseus Stev., L. tuberosus L.,var. affinis (Guss.) Arcang.] were determined by using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and VPC (vapour gas chromatography). Palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1 n-9), linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6) and α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3) were found as major fatty acid components in all studied eleven taxa. In addition, δ-tocopherol, α-tocopherol, α-tocopherol acetate and vitamin D3 were found highest level and retinol, retinol acetate, vitamin D2 and vitamin C content (apart from L. belinensis and L. hirsutus) were found lowest ratio in the examined Lathyrus taxa. Key words : Lathyrus -fatty acids -vitamins -HPLC -VPC. Résumé.-Dans la présente étude, les niveaux en vitamines et en acides gras des graines adultes de Lathyrusvar. affinis (Guss.) Arcang.] ont été déterminés par chromatographie (CLHP et CG). Les acides palmitique (C16:0), stéarique (C18:0), oléique (C18:1 n-9), linoléique (C18:2 n-6) et α-linolénique (C18:3 n-3) ont été observés comme constituants des onze taxons étudiés. En plus, les δ-tocopherol, α-tocophérol, acétate de l'α-tocophérol et la vitamine D3 ont été trouvés en plus grande quantité, les rétinol, acétate de rétinol, vitamine D2 et vitamine C le l'ont été en quantité faible (sauf L. belinensis et L. hirsutus) pour les Lathyrus examinés.

Venturing Beyond Beans and Peas: What Can We Learn from Chamaecrista?

Expanding legume research beyond the model members of the subfamily Papilionoideae (papilionoids) is necessary if we wish to capture more of the diversity of the enormous, economically important legume family. Chamaecrista fasciculata is emerging as a nonpapilionoid model, belonging to the paraphyletic subfamily Caesalpinioideae within the mimosoid clade. Mimosoids diverged from the common ancestor of soybean (Glycine max), Medicago truncatula, and Lotus japonicus nearly 60 million years ago-nearly contemporaneously with the origin of legumes. There is growing interest within the legume community in C. fasciculata as a complementary legume model for a number of reasons, including phylogenetic position, nodulation within a clade of limited nodulating species, nonpapilionoid floral morphology, herbaceous growth habit, and tractability in laboratory and field settings. Whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS) of C. fasciculata shoots, roots, and nodules, along with gene expression and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiling, provides community resources to address fundamental questions about legume evolution. A range of ecotypes, development of functional genomics tools, and an integration of research and undergraduate education leverage these genomic resources.

“…From a phytochemical point of view, these species produce healthpromoting secondary metabolites that can exert important effects on human health (e.g., blood cholesterol-reduction, hypoglycemic action, prevention of certain types of cancer, and protective effects against atherogenesis, angiogenesis, nervous system diseases, menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis) (Gepts et al, 2005;Mortensen et al, 2009;Sacks et al, 2006). Isoflavones, due to their structural resemblance with estradiol, have been recognized for their ability to decrease the morbidity rates linked to age-related cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, breast and prostate cancers, and menopausal symptoms (Cano, García-Pérez, & Tarín, 2010;Mourouti & Panagiotakos, 2013;Park & Weaver, 2012).…”

There is an increasing trend towards finding alternative sources of valued phytochemicals due to their diverse potentialities in food industry and pharmaceutical applications. Phenolic compounds, in particular, have been the focus of several profiling reports, but isoflavones characterization has been studied in fewer cases and in a very limited group of plant species. Despite their acknowledged bioactivity, there's actually a strict number of plants validated for their isoflavones contents. In a previous report, we have identified nine Leguminosae species (from genera Biserrula, Lotus, Ornithopus and Scorpiurus) as potential alternative sources of these phenolic compounds. However, the isoflavone profiles are highly modulated by the ontogenic stage. Therefore, the present study was conducted in the same Leguminosae species, but harvested at three sequential vegetative development stages: vegetative elongation, late bud and late flowering, with the main purpose of assessing the evolution of isoflavones content throughout the plant development. In general, the plant species from Biserrula and Lotus genera showed the highest potential as new natural sources of isoflavones, especially owing their high levels of biochanin A. Independently of the plant species, it was possible to identify the phenologic stages where each of the quantified isoflavones is maximized. These findings are useful to predict isoflavone yields according to harvesting time, validating the potential use of the studied plants in innovative food formulations.
