ABSTRACT
AIM To study the chemical constituents from Vigna umbellata Ohwi et Ohashi.METHODS The ethyl acetate fraction of 80％ ethanol extract from V.umbellata was isolated and purified by silica,Sephadex LH-20 and ODS column,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by spectral data and physicochemical properties.RESULTS Twelve compounds were isolated and elucidated as (+) catechin (1),(-) epicatechin (2),3-furanmethanol-β-D-glucopyranoside (3),myricetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4),quercetin7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5),(+) catechin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6),(+) catechin-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7),quercetin-3 '-O-α-L-rhamnoside (8),(±) dihydroquercetin (9),quercetin (10),ethyl gallate (11),propanediol (12).CONCLUSION All the compounds are isolated from V.umbellata for the first time,and compounds 4,8,9,11,12 are first obtained from genus Vigna.
ABSTRACT
Arcelin, the antimetabolic protein from wild pulses is a known natural insecticidal molecule. Wild pulses with high arcelin content could serve as potential source to increase the levels of insect resistance in cultivated pulse crops. In this study, arcelin (Arl) gene expression was screened in seven stored product insect pest resistant wild pulse varieties using real time RT-qPCR. Arcelin gene specific real time PCR primers were synthesized from arcelin mRNA sequence of the wild pulse variety, Lablab purpureus. The results revealed different levels of arcelin gene expression in the tested varieties. Canavalia virosa registered significantly high content indicating its suitability for utilization of arcelin gene in developing stored product insect pest resistance with other cultivated pulses.

Foram conduzidos três ensaios em município de Minas Gerais, com inverno ameno, para estudar a viabilidade do cultivo do feijão-arroz no outono-inverno. Os ensaios foram instalados em Leopoldina, nestas datas: 3 de maio de 1996, 18 de abril de 1997 e 11 de maio de 1998. Foram usados 12 genótipos de feijão-arroz; uma cultivar de feijão-comum foi usada para comparação. Foi empregado o delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com 4 repetições. As plantas foram irrigadas por aspersão, e o controle de pragas com inseticida foi feito quando necessário. Os ciclos de vida do feijão-arroz variaram de 99 a 111 dias (da emergência à colheita), enquanto os do feijão-comum variaram em torno de 90 dias. Não foi observada doença na folhagem do feijão-arroz. As produtividades médias variaram de 1164 (11 de maio) a 2261 kg ha-1 (18 de abril). O feijão-arroz foi tão produtivo quanto o feijão-comum. Conclui-se que é viável o cultivo do feijão-arroz [Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi] no outono-inverno em regiões de inverno ameno.
Three trials were carried out in a municipality of the state of Minas Gerais of mild winter to study the viability of rice bean cultivation in fall-winter season. Trials were installed in Leopoldina on the following dates: May 3, 1996; April 18, 1997; and May 11, 1998. Twelve genotypes of rice bean were used; one cultivar of common bean was also included for comparison. A randomized complete-block design with 4 replications was used. Plants were sprinkler irrigated and insecticide was applied when necessary. Rice bean life cycles varied from 99 to 111 days (from emergence to harvest), while common bean life cycles varied around 90 days. No foliar disease was observed on rice bean plants. Yields ranged from 1164 (May 11) to 2261 kg ha-1 (April 18). Rice bean yielded as much as common bean. One concluded that the cultivation of rice bean [Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi] in fall-winter in regions of mild winter is viable.
