Background: Faba bean seeds are nutrient-dense, serving as a vital plant-based protein source for food and vegetables. However, the metabolic accumulation and transcriptional regulatory networks during seed development remain poorly understood.
Germination offers advantages to improve legume protein digestibility as it disintegrates seed structure and hydrolyzes proteins and anti-nutrients. Seed permeability (related to polyphenol content of seed coats) is an important factor affecting the duration of seed germination and its impact in pro...
Fava beans (Vicia faba) have demonstrated potential to replace traditional animal-based protein sources. The quantity and quality of protein found in fava beans makes them a potential candidate for sustainable protein alternative. However, the understanding of their proteomic profile remains limited...
Background The gut microbiota plays a significant role in modulating the growth and function of host muscle, and microbiota transplantation experiments provide compelling evidence of its capacity to improve muscle quality. Feeding faba beans improves the muscle quality of Yellow River carp. ...
