Summary: The CcTFL1 locus plays a crucial role in determining the growth habits of pigeon pea. An InDel mutation in this gene leads to changes in the protein structure and functionality, which in turn determines the growth habits of the plant. This study provides valuable insights into the potential use of genome editing to modulate plant growth habits.

Summary: The genetic diversity and population structure of pigeonpea in Benin were revealed using the GBS approach. This study found four clear subpopulations and a high gene exchange between them. The results suggest that the genetic diversity and population structure can be utilized for improving genetic gain in pigeonpea breeding programs in Benin through Genome Wide Association Studies and Marker-Assisted Selection.

Summary: The study aimed to determine trace element concentrations in different parts of the pigeon pea plant and found that seeds had the highest levels of Cu, Ni, Cr, and Zn, while pods had the highest levels of Ag, Co, Pb, and Fe. Factor and cluster analyses showed a good relationship among the trace elements in pigeon pea, with most elements having high transfer factors in pods and pericarp. The elements studied were found to be within safe baseline levels for both human and animal uses.

Summary: This study investigated the inheritance of fertility restoration in pigeonpea using three short duration cytoplasmic genetic male sterility (CGMS) hybrids. The results showed that fertility restoration is controlled by a single dominant gene, which can be used for identifying potential restorers and developing CGMS-based hybrids in pigeonpea.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pH and ionic strength on the thermal stability and thermal gelation of PP protein isolates (PPI) obtained by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation. The results showed that the thermal stability of PPI changed with pH variation at low ionic strength, while this dependence decreased with the increase of ionic strength. At low ionic strength, gelation capacity of PPI was lower at pH 2.1 and pH 3.9, while at pH 6.3 and pH 8.3, gels showed better water holding capacity.

Summary: Planting Cajanus cajan can help achieve ecological restoration of coal gangue by altering the microbial composition and function in the soil. Dominant microflora in the soil significantly changed after planting cajan, with bacteria from different phyla and classes becoming dominant. Additionally, there were significant differences in bacterial composition in different layers of soils planted with cajan.

Summary: A comparative analysis of herbivory responsive miRNAs between susceptible C. cajan and resistant C. scarabaeoides revealed the involvement of miRNAs in plant defense response against pests. The study identified a large number of conserved and novel miRNAs and found that these miRNAs target genes involved in defense and acquired resistance pathways. Additionally, the expression patterns of eight miRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR.

Summary: Drought stress during reproductive stages leads to low yield in pigeon pea in semi-arid regions. Assessing genetic diversity and stress tolerance-related traits is crucial for selecting parent lines and improving the crop. This study evaluated different pigeon pea genotypes under irrigated and drought stress conditions, revealing high genetic diversity in morpho-physiological traits with photosynthesis and water use efficiency as useful indicators of drought tolerance. Genotyping using SSR markers identified diverse genotypic groups based on stress tolerance and maturity duration, and revealed 109 unique alleles with an average of 2.09 alleles per marker. This study provides insights for selecting parental lines in the genetic enhancement program for pigeon pea.

Summary: New stilbenoids with inhibitory activity against yeast a-glucosidase were isolated from Cajanus cajan leaves. The structures and activities of these compounds were determined, and the structure-activity relationships were summarized. These findings contribute to the understanding of the pharmacological effects of Cajanus cajan and the development of related drugs.

Summary: This study isolated and characterized sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from coal mines and evaluated their effects on plant growth and sulfur uptake in pigeonpea. Thirteen bacterial isolates were obtained, and seven of them showed the ability to reduce the pH of thiosulfate broth and promote plant growth. These strains colonized the plant roots and formed biofilm on the root surface. Inoculation of these strains significantly enhanced seed germination and vigor indices and increased the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur in plant shoots. The expression of phosphate, potassium, and sulfur transporter genes also increased upon inoculation.

Summary: In this study, soil samples were collected from different locations near petrol and diesel filling stations for the isolation of photosynthetic bacteria under anaerobic conditions. Three strains of bacteria (R. palustris SMR 001, R. palustris NR MPPR, R. faecalis N Raju MPPR) were successfully isolated and characterized. The bacterial morphology was examined using a scanning electron microscope, and the phylogenetic relationship was determined through gene sequence analysis. The isolated bacteria were found to produce various amino acids and their derivatives, with carnosine being the most abundant.
