Abstract

Phaseolus vulgaris (L.), commonly known as bean or common bean, is considered a promiscuous legume host since it forms nodules with diverse rhizobial species and symbiovars. Most of the common bean nodulating rhizobia are mainly afliated to the genus Rhizobium, though strains belonging to Ensifer, Pararhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Burkholderia have also been reported. This is the frst report on the characterization of bean-nodulating rhizobia at the species and symbiovar level in Greece. The goals of this research were to isolate and characterize rhizobia nodulating local common bean genotypes grown in fve diferent edaphoclimatic regions of Greece with no rhizobial inoculation history. The genetic diversity of the rhizobial isolates was assessed by BOX-PCR and the phylogenetic afliation was assessed by multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of housekeeping and symbiosis-related genes. A total of ffty fast-growing rhizobial strains were isolated and representative isolates with distinct BOX-PCR fngerpriniting patterns were subjected to phylogenetic analysis. The strains were closely related to R. anhuiense, R. azibense, R. hidalgonense, R. sophoriradicis, and to a putative new genospecies which is provisionally named as Rhizobium sp. I. Most strains belonged to symbiovar phaseoli carrying the α-, γ-a and γ-b alleles of nodC gene, while some of them belonged to symbiovar gallicum. To the best of our knowledge, it is the frst time that strains assigned to R. sophoriradicis and harbored the γ-b allele were found in European soils. All strains were able to re-nodulate their original host, indicating that they are true microsymbionts of common bean

Abstract

Storage of onions is a multifaceted issue, which involves many preharvest and postharvest factors. One of the major factors that affect onion storage is the selection of the proper cultivar, since there are significant differences in storability between the cultivars and not all of them are suitable for storage. Proper preharvest and postharvest conditions are essential for storability of onion bulbs, whereas they also affect marketability (weight losses, texture and color depth of bulbs) and quality (chemical composition, nutritional value, antioxidant activity). Irrigation and fertilization are essential preharvest factors that substantially affect storability, whereas curing methods and storage conditions (temperature, relative humidity, controlled atmospheres) and processing treatments are postharvest factors. This review article examines the effect of long-term storage on the main quality features of onions, such as the incidence of sprouting and root growth, water losses, and changes in chemical composition (mineral composition, sugar content, nutritional value) and antioxidant activity (phenolic and flavonoid contents, DPPH [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl] scavenging activity).

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of grafting of watermelon hybrids 'Obla F1' and 'Vanessa F1' on to Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita moschata rootstock TZ 148 and Lagenaria sp. rootstock 'Dias F1', on the volatiles and yield of fruit and the plant growth. Fruit volatiles analysis showed the presence of two aldehydes, namely (E)-2-nonenal and (E,Z)-2,6-nonadien-1-al, with (E)-2-nonenal being present at higher concentrations in grafted than in un-grafted plants. Grafted plants had also higher growth rate, total yield, and fruit number than un-grafted plants, whereas the percent dry matter of leaves and shoots was higher in ungrafted plants. No differences were observed for mean fruit weight, fruit shape, and rind thickness. Fruit from grafted plants had more compact flesh and less acid fruit juice than fruit from ungrafted plants. Fruit volatile components differed between ungrafted and grafted plants. With regards to sugar content, no significant differences between grafted and ungrafted plants were observed, except in the case of 'Obla F1 ' hybrids. Sodium concentration of plant tissues and fruit was higher in 'Obla F1 ' ungrafted plants, as well as carotenoid, lycopene, and vitamin C content in fruit, but only in the second year. In conclusion, rootstock-scion combination implemented in the present study affected plant growth and fruit yield and quality, rendering the choice of rootstocks and scions of major importance in order to achieve the highest yield and quality of watermelon fruit.

Abstract

The 2nd Mediterranean Legume Innovation Network (M-LIN) workshop with the title, “Realising the ecological-health approach: consumers’ transition to legume-based diets” was held on the 9th of July 2019 in Porto, Portugal, hosted by Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) and EUREST. The meeting brought together stakeholders interested in the topic of sustainable diets and to interact with members of the TRUE project. For this 2nd M-LIN the main objective was to involve a more representative number of health professionals and dietitians in the discussion, given their close relationship with the consumers and the importance of their knowledge in consumer advisory on diets and lifestyle. Assuming an ecological-health approach, the specific aims of this M-LIN were to understand: the main constraints in legumes inclusion in general diets, with special focus on children; legume policies hindering or enabling legumes consumption; health effects and nutritional status modulation by legumes; new product development and legume-based innovations.
