Soybean (Glycine max) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) diverged approximately 19 million years ago. While these species share a whole-genome duplication (WGD), the Glycine lineage experienced a second, independent WGD. Despite the significance of these WGDs, their impact on gene families related to oil-traits remains poorly understood. Here, we report an in-depth investigation of oil-related gene families in soybean, common bean, and twenty-eight other legume species. We adopted a systematic approach that included transcriptome and co-expression analysis, identification of orthologous groups, gene duplication modes and evolutionary rates, and family expansions and contractions. We curated a list of oil candidate genes and found that 91.5% of the families containing these genes expanded in soybean in comparison to common bean. Notably, we observed an expansion of triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis (~3:1) and an erosion of TAG degradation (~1.4:1) families in soybean in comparison to common bean. In addition, TAG degradation genes were two-fold more expressed in common bean than in soybean, suggesting that oil degradation is also important for the sharply contrasting seed oil contents in these species. We found 17 transcription factor hub genes that are likely regulators of lipid metabolism. Finally, we inferred expanded and contracted families and correlated these patterns with oil content found in different legume species. In summary, our results do not only shed light on the evolution of oil metabolism genes in soybean, but also present multifactorial evidence supporting the prioritization of candidates for crop improvement.

“…As such, the notable concentration of tocotrienols in D. regia oil should be regarded with caution and more studies are needed to corroborate this finding. Legume oils contain either α-T or γ-T as the largest fraction across a wide range of tocochromanol concentrations [ 21 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. The other oils contained mainly α- and γ-T in varying proportion, with most of the oils containing more α-T than γ-T except for D. latifolia , which contained almost exclusively γ-T. A previous investigation of A. lebbeck seed oil reported a much smaller tocopherol concentration (84.93 mg 100 g −1 ) and a different tocopherol profile.…”

“…Significant squalene content was only observed in C. fistula , but it was lower than in olive or rice bran oil and would not provide a more efficient source of squalene. Although squalene has not been analysed in the seeds before, absence or low concentration is common for legume seeds [ 21 , 28 , 29 ].…”

“…Commonly used oils typically contain between 18 mg 100 g −1 (olive oil) and 60 to 70 mg 100 g −1 (canola, sunflower and corn oil), and wheat germ oil is particularly rich (257 mg 100 g −1 ) [ 26 ]. Legumes are not major tocochromanol sources and typically contain either α- or γ-T in significant concentration, while tocotrienols are either not present or are very minor components [ 21 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Bioactive lipophilic compounds were investigated in 14 leguminous tree species of timber, agroforestry, medicinal or ornamental use but little industrial significance to elucidate their potential in food additive and supplement production. The tree species investigated were: Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia concinna, Albizia lebbeck, Albizia odoratissima, Bauhinia racemosa, Cassia fistula, Dalbergia latifolia, Delonix regia, Entada phaseoloides, Hardwickia binata, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Senegalia catechu, Sesbania sesban and Vachellia nilotica. The hexane-extracted oils of ripe seeds were chromatographically analysed for their fatty acid composition (GC-MS), tocochromanol (RP-HPLC/FLD), squalene and sterol (GC-FID) content. A spectrophotometrical method was used to determine total carotenoid content. The results showed generally low oil yield (1.75–17.53%); the highest was from H. binata. Linoleic acid constituted the largest proportion in all samples (40.78 to 62.28% of total fatty acids), followed by oleic (14.57–34.30%) and palmitic (5.14–23.04%) acid. The total tocochromanol content ranged from 100.3 to 367.6 mg 100 g−1 oil. D. regia was the richest and the only to contain significant amount of tocotrienols while other oils contained almost exclusively tocopherols, dominated by either α-tocopherol or γ-tocopherol. The total carotenoid content was highest in A. auriculiformis (23.77 mg 100 g−1), S. sesban (23.57 mg 100 g−1) and A. odoratissima (20.37 mg 100 g−1), and ranged from 0.7 to 23.7 mg 100 g−1 oil. The total sterol content ranged from 240.84 to 2543 mg 100 g−1; A. concinna seed oil was the richest by a wide margin; however, its oil yield was very low (1.75%). Either β-sitosterol or Δ5-stigmasterol dominated the sterol fraction. Only C. fistula oil contained a significant amount of squalene (303.1 mg 100 g−1) but was limited by the low oil yield as an industrial source of squalene. In conclusion, A. auriculiformis seeds may hold potential for the production of carotenoid-rich oil, and H. binata seed oil has relatively high yield and tocopherol content, marking it as a potential source of these compounds.

Silvopastoral system (SPS) is a multifunctional agroforestry practice. This study evaluate soil properties and root biomass under SPS in Pernambuco, Brazil. The experiment was established in 2011. The treatments were (1) monoculture signalgrass (MS) [Urochloa decumbens (Stapf.) R. D. Webster], (2) intercropped pasture of signalgrass with legume Gliricidia (SG) [Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud.], and (3) intercropped pasture of signalgrass with legume sabiá (SS) (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth). Treatments were allocated in randomized complete block design with three replications. Samples were collected at 0‐ to 10‐, 10‐ to 20‐, 20‐ to 40‐, 40‐ to 60‐, 60‐ to 80‐, 80‐ to 100‐, and 100‐ to 120‐cm soil depths. Soil samples were also taken from the native forest (NF) considered as a reference at the same Experimental Station. Legume SPS (SG and SS) presented greater root biomass per unit area compared to MS at 60‐ to 80‐cm depth (p < 0.05); however, MS had greater root biomass per hectare at the top layers. The average values of the weighted mean diameter of soil aggregates were 3.20, 3.19, 3.07, and 3.27 mm in MS, SG, SS, and NF, respectively, at 0‐ to 120‐cm depths. The SPS increased soil cation exchange capacity in deeper layers, indicating greater biological activity at greater depth. Grasslands and SPS store 235 Mg C ha−1 with 71% of that found in deeper layers (20–120 cm). SPS with signalgrass intercropped with arboreal legumes has potential to improve deep soil C storage and resilience of livestock systems in tropical regions.
