Genetic and Metabolite Variability among Commercial Varieties and Advanced Lines of Vicia faba L. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:908. [PMID: 36840256 PMCID: PMC9967272 DOI: 10.3390/plants12040908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Vicia faba L. (faba bean) is one of the most promising pulse crops due to its nutritional value and high nitrogen fixation capacity. The aim of the present study was to compare the genetic diversity and the seed metabolite profiles of five genetic materials of faba bean. Specifically, three newly developed advanced lines (KK18, KK14 and KK10) and two commercial cultivars (POLIKARPI and TANAGRA), were evaluated for this purpose. Genetic diversity among populations was assessed by SCoT molecular markers. Through UPGMA dendrogram, genetic distances between populations were estimated. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of the seeds was performed employing GC/EI/MS. The cultivar POLYKARPI exhibited the highest polymorphism. All varieties showed a higher within-cultivars and advanced lines variability than between. POLYKARPI and KK14 had the lowest genetic distances, while KK18 and TANAGRA presented the highest ones. The advanced line KK18 displayed the best nutritional profile, the highest concentration of desirable metabolites (lactic acid and trehalose), the lowest concentration of anti-nutritional factors (oxalic acid) and the lowest concentration of saturated fatty acids (palmitic and stearic acid). According to the results of the present study, KK18 line is a very promising material for further exploration and utilization in breeding programs.

Abstract
African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Harms.) (Fabaceae) is a versatile crop of nutritional, nutraceutical, and pharmacological value widely grown for its edible seeds and underground tubers. Its high-quality protein, rich mineral elements, and low cholesterol make it a suitable source of food for age groups. However, the crop is still under-exploited and constrained by factors such as intra-specific incompatibility, low yields, indeterminate growth pattern and long gestation period, hard-to-cook (HTC) seeds, and the presence of antinutritional factors (ANFs). To efficiently utilize its genetic resources for improvement and utilization, it is necessary to understand the crop's sequence information and select promising accessions for molecular hybridization trials and conservation purposes. A total of 24 accessions of AYB were collected from the Genetic Resources center of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria, and subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. The dataset determines genetic relatedness among the twenty-four accessions of AYB. The data consist of partial rbcL gene sequences (24), estimates of intra-specific genetic diversity, the maximum likelihood of transition/transversion bias, and evolutionary relationships based on the UPMGA clustering method. The data identified 13 variables (segregating sites) as SNPs, 5 haplotypes, and codon usage of the species that can be explored further to advance the genetic utilization of AYB.

Nutritional, functional, and bioactive properties of african underutilized legumes. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1105364. [PMID: 37123863 PMCID: PMC10141332 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1105364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Globally, legumes are vital constituents of diet and perform critical roles in maintaining well-being owing to the dense nutritional contents and functional properties of their seeds. While much emphasis has been placed on the major grain legumes over the years, the neglected and underutilized legumes (NULs) are gaining significant recognition as probable crops to alleviate malnutrition and give a boost to food security in Africa. Consumption of these underutilized legumes has been associated with several health-promoting benefits and can be utilized as functional foods due to their rich dietary fibers, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), proteins/essential amino acids, micro-nutrients, and bioactive compounds. Despite the plethora of nutritional benefits, the underutilized legumes have not received much research attention compared to common mainstream grain legumes, thus hindering their adoption and utilization. Consequently, research efforts geared toward improvement, utilization, and incorporation into mainstream agriculture in Africa are more convincing than ever. This work reviews some selected NULs of Africa (Adzuki beans (Vigna angularis), African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa), Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea), Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), Kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), Marama bean (Tylosema esculentum), Mung bean, (Vigna radiata), Rice bean (Vigna Umbellata), and Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus)), and their nutritional, and functional properties. Furthermore, we highlight the prospects and current challenges associated with the utilization of the NULs and discusses the strategies to facilitate their exploitation as not only sources of vital nutrients, but also their integration for the development of cheap and accessible functional foods.
