Summary: Biofortification is an approach to increase micronutrient concentrations in edible parts of plants, with various breeding methods available. Peas, recognized for their nutritional value, have untapped micronutrient potential that needs to be considered in development, ensuring nutrient retention post processing and cooking for improved agricultural productivity.

Summary: The genome sequences of several legume species have been compared with non-legume species regarding the inventory of nitrogen transporters and assimilatory enzymes. Pea and Medicago truncatula have fewer members of the NRT2 nitrate transporter family, possibly due to their decreased dependence on soil nitrate acquisition. Pea also has a lower capacity for nitrate accumulation in the vacuole and lower tissue and phloem nitrate levels compared to non-legumes.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of geographical origins on the microbial communities associated with pea seeds from storage locations in different countries. The results showed that although the pea seed microbiota shared a dominant core microbiota at the genus level, seeds exhibited a species-specific microbial signature with variable abundances according to origin. Origin was identified as the main driver of the composition of the pea seed microbiota.

Summary: The study demonstrated that pea peels extract could alleviate doxorubicin-induced oxidative myocardial injury in male mice by enhancing endogenous antioxidants, reducing inflammation, and regulating apoptosis pathways. The presence of flavonoid glycosides in pea peels may contribute to its cardioprotective effects, making it a potential candidate for therapeutic use.

Summary: The study found that pea plants adjust to progressive soil drought by accumulating osmolytes and osmoprotectants, and transferring some of them (proline, sucrose, myoinositol) to the shoot tip, thereby protecting the youngest tissues from damage caused by water deficit.

Summary: This study successfully isolated and characterized three glycoprotein structures from peas, with PGP2 demonstrating the highest hypoglycemic activity by inhibiting glucose uptake in the small intestine and enzyme activities. Even after simulated gastrointestinal digestion, PGP2 maintained strong hypoglycemic effects, indicating its potential as a functional food or medicine for treating diabetes mellitus.

Summary: This study investigated two CHLI genes in pea and found that PsCHLI1 is the key subunit for Mg-chelatase activity. The peptide fragments of PsCHLI1 are essential for maintaining the activity of Mg-chelatase, which could be manipulated to improve photosynthetic efficiency.

Summary: Microplastics released into soil alongside existing pollutants may have adverse effects on plants, particularly in soils contaminated with heavy metals. This study found that long-term exposure to microplastics had chronic effects on the reproductive and nutritional status of pea crops, with the additional presence of copper exacerbating the damage to the crops. These changes in crop quality and nutrient content could impact human health through the food chain.

Summary: The study compared pea proteins obtained by dry and wet separation methods, revealing that dry-separated proteins maintained their native structure while wet-separated proteins had higher purity but significant denaturation. Each type of protein had different functional properties, with dry-separated proteins leading to a soft texture in meat analogues and wet-separated proteins displaying better emulsification and foaming properties.

Summary: The study found that the growth stage and variety of pea plants influence nitrogen uptake from various sources. The rate of nitrogen uptake varies at different stages, and the sources of nitrogen also change throughout the growth cycle.

Summary: This study demonstrates the impact of drought stress on the phloem sap content of Pisum sativum plants, and how these changes are connected to the plant's strategies to cope with water deficit. Results indicate that under drought stress, pea plants undergo metabolic changes in the phloem sap content to adapt to environmental conditions.

Summary: Grain legumes, such as peas, have desirable properties for agriculture, but their cultivation on a large scale faces challenges due to susceptibility to diseases, including powdery mildew. This review examines current methods of controlling powdery mildew, including fungicides and biological agents, with a focus on the plant genetic mechanisms of resistance. The study highlights the naturally occurring resistance in garden peas and discusses the potential for introducing this resistance into other important legume crops.

Summary: The allelic states of symbiotic genes in garden peas are found to be associated with growth parameters under single and double inoculation conditions. Plant habitus significantly influences growth, yield, and symbiotic interactions. Different effects of double inoculation on normal and dwarf plants were observed in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus content in seeds, with specific symbiotic genes showing associations with seed number, weight, and pod characteristics.

Summary: The MIB1 gene in mungbean, which encodes a MATE/DTX family protein, was found to be involved in the control of plant architecture establishment. Overexpression of MIB1 partially rescued the shortened pod phenotype in Arabidopsis, and transcriptomic analysis revealed altered expression levels of genes related to phytohormone pathways and developmental regulation in the mib1 mutants, indicating the crucial role of MIB1 in mungbean.

Summary: The study developed a whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH) method for Torenia fournieri ovules, allowing for quick visualization of gene expression patterns. Compared with the classical RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) technique, the WISH method is reliable and less prone to distortion, making it suitable for observing specific signals within cells.
