“…25 Subsequently daidzein, pratensein, sissotrin (biochanin A 7-O-glucoside), genistein, genistin (genistein-7-O-glucoside), ononin (formononetin-7-O-glucoside), 2′-hydroxyformononetin, calycosin, pseudobaptigenin, and other isoflavones and their glycoside conjugates were identified seedlings, germinated cotyledons, roots, or other parts of Cicer spp. 25 In this study, 20 isoflavones and conjugates were detected and identified in germinated chickpea and the majority of them are 4′-O-methylated isoflavones. In addition, two pterocarpans maackiain and medicarpin as well as two isoflavanones, cicerin and homoferreirin, were detected.…”

The effect of germination on bioactive components in legume seeds was investigated in terms of the antioxidant capacity and total phenolic contents. Germination increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of most seeds. Particularly in chickpea seeds, the isoflavone contents increased by over 100 fold, mainly due to the increase of formononetin and biochanin A level. As a result, these two compounds were conveniently isolated from the germinated seeds in preparative scale and structurally confirmed by UV-vis, ESI-MS, and (1)H NMR spectroscopies. Isoflavonoid fingerprints analyzed by HPLC-PDA and LC-ESI-MS demonstrated that germination could significantly increase isoflavonoids diversity. Twenty-five isoflavonoids were detected and identified tentatively. These include 20 isoflavones, 2 isoflavanones, and 3 pterocarpan phytoalexins. Total isoflavonoid content of germinated chickpea was approximately 5-fold of that of germinated soybean. Our findings suggest that the germinated chickpea seeds could serve as a promising functional food rich in isoflavonoids.

The electrochemical oxidation of catechols was described and has shown that these compounds can be oxidized to related obenzoquinones. The electrochemically generated o-benzoquinones are quite reactive and can be attacked by a variety of nucleophiles under various mechanistic disciplines such as CE, EC, EC ' , ECE, ECEC, ECEC 2 , ECECE, ECECEC, ECECECE and trimerization, in which E represents an electron transfer at the electrode surface, and C represents a homogeneous chemical reaction. The mechanistic pathways and final products are depending on some parameters such as electron withdrawing or donating properties of nucleophile, electrolysis medium (solvent, acidity or pH) and nature of catechol.

“…Although belonging to the Fabaceae family of plants, common bean, chickpea and mung bean seeds are very heterogeneous in their chemical compositions. For example, common bean seeds have phytochemagglutinin, lectin like α-amylase inhibitor, different types of arlequines and protease inhibitors [66,67], chickpea seeds have more than 200 secondary metabolites [68], while mung beans have naringenins, vicilins, cysteine-rich protein (VrD1 or VrCRP), vignatic acids (A and B) and para-amino-phenylalanine, chitinase [69]. Several studies suggest that phosphatases, proteins with many different functions, are partially responsible for detoxification processes during insect development [41,42].…”

Effective pest management strategies for a targeted pest species must rely on accurate, reliable and reproducible estimates of population dynamics. Importance of such approaches is even more conspicuous when assessing pest’s potential to utilize other stored products. Using an experimental evolution approach, we have focused our attention on a common bean pest, the seed beetle (Acanthoscelides obtectus). We looked into the potential to invade and sustain population growth on two suboptimal host plants (chickpeas and mung beans). Such an approach simulates steps of the host-shift process in storages. By analyzing population dynamics during initial encountering with a new host plant, we detected a population drop for both novel hosts. However, transgenerational development in a novel environment resulted in a constant population growth in chickpeas, but not in mung bean populations. Reversal of chickpea selected populations to original host plant has led to a severe decrease in population parameters due to low viability of immatures, while the opposite trend was detected in mung bean populations. This paper highlights the importance of good practice in estimating population dynamics for economically important species. With special emphasis on storage pest species, we discuss how this approach can be useful for estimating invading potential of pest insects.
