Article Abstract
The effects of germination on pea composition have been established. However, the effects of germination on the nutritional profile of different pea varieties have not been extensively reported. Therefore, five varieties (Passion, Greenwood, Durwood, Agassiz, and Treasure) of peas were germinated for up to six days, and their nutrient profiles, protein digestibility, in vitro protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (IV-PDCAAS), and antioxidant activity (DPPH) were determined. In addition, B vitamins were determined for the first time in most of the varieties evaluated. Germination enhanced protein digestibility across all varieties, whereas IV-PDCAAS tended to decrease with increasing germination day. The impact of germination on starch content varied, with decreasing percentages found in some varieties and increased percentages found in others. Soluble fiber increased and insoluble fiber decreased with increasing germination days. Thiamine and niacin tended to increase with increasing germination day, while pyridoxine and folate decreased. The radical scavenging activity of the germinated peas increased with increasing germination days. Overall, germination tended to improve the nutritional composition of peas, with only a few exceptions. Furthermore, the interaction effects between variety and germination day support the importance of knowing both variety and length of germination when creating germinated pea products.

Treatment of seeds with cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) is in its proof-of-concept phase with regard to its effect on germination and plant growth. To increase the germination of hardseeded red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), seeds are usually scarified, which is time-consuming and labour-intensive.

Flumioxazin-based herbicides are frequently used in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds attributed to their high efficacy, rapid action, and residual soil activity, making these compounds a preferred choice over other herbicides in pre-emergence weed control. Due to their beneficial properties, use of these herbicides has significantly increased in recent years, raising concerns regarding potential environmental risks. This study aimed to examine the effects of a commercial flumioxazin-based formulation on different plant models.

Introducing underutilized legumes as plant-based protein sources to daily meals is an approach to address the increasing demand for alternative proteins. However, legumes often exhibit off-flavors and aromas, causing negative consumer perceptions. Lupins are an underutilized legume that is becoming popular as a plant protein source due to their high protein, fiber, and low starch contents.

Plant seeds have evolved diverse dormancy types and regulatory mechanisms to adapt to environmental conditions and seasonal changes. As a commonly used rootstock for cultivated pears, faces challenges in seedling production and large-scale cultivation due to limited understanding of seed dormancy mechanisms. In this study, we report that seeds exhibit non-deep physiological dormancy, with seed coats playing a pivotal regulatory role.
