First report of leaf spot caused by in mung beans ( (L.) R. Wilczek) in South Korea.

Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) is a legume with high nutritional and economic value that is cultivated widely across Asia (Kang et al.

Metabolic profiling and expression analysis of key genetic factors in the biosynthetic pathways of antioxidant metabolites in mungbean sprouts.

Mungbeans ( L.), a major legume crop in Asia, contain higher amounts of functional substances than other legumes, such as catechin, chlorogenic acid, and vitexin. Germination can improve the nutritional value of legume seeds.

Metabolomic and transcriptomic changes in mungbean ( (L.) R. Wilczek) sprouts under salinity stress.

Mungbean () sprouts are consumed globally as a healthy food with high nutritional values, having antioxidant and anticancer capacity. Under mild salinity stress, plants accumulate more secondary metabolites to alleviate oxidative stress. In this study, metabolomic and transcriptomic changes in mungbean sprouts were identified using a reference cultivar, sunhwa, to understand the regulatory mechanisms of secondary metabolites in response to salinity stress.

Effects of Applying Different Resonance Amplitude on the Performance of the Impedance-Based Health Monitoring Technique Subjected to Damage.

Smart materials such as piezoelectric transducers can be used for monitoring the health of building structures. In this study, a structural health monitoring technique known as the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method is investigated. Although the EMI method has the advantage of using a single piezoelectric patch that acts both as the actuator and as the sensor, there are still many issues to be addressed.

Analysis of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) release in anaerobic sludge holding tank and its effects on membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor (MBR).

Amongst sludge reduction strategies, the anaerobic side-stream sludge holding tank (SHT) is of particular interest because it has shown significant sludge reduction efficiency. However, due to the anaerobic and starving environment of the SHT, the release of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) may be stimulated, and it may hamper the application of the SHT to the membrane bioreactor. In order to investigate the effect of sludge storage on EPS release, sludge samples from a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor coupled with SHT was incubated in a series of bench-scale SHT reactors for different periods of time (0-24 h).

Comparison of green tea extract and epigallocatechin gallate on blood pressure and contractile responses of vascular smooth muscle of rats.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on arteral blood pressure and contractile responses of isolated aortic strips of the normotensive rats and to establish the mechanism of action. The phenylephrine (10(-8) approximately 10(-5) M)-induced contractile responses were greatly inhibited in the presence of GTE (0.3 approximately 1.
