Mineral Responses of P. Vulgaris L. To Telfairia Mosaic Virus Infection
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Mineral responses of P. vulgaris to Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) infection were investigated. Saponins, alkaloids, tannins and reducing sugars showed significant (P< 0.05) reductions in response to TeMV infection with percentage reductions of 89.3%, 54.5%, 46.3% and 18.3% respectively. Protein showed insignificant increase of 4.3% in inoculated samples. Percentage decreases recorded for fat, fiber and carbohydrate responses to TeMV infection was 28.6%, 20.8% and 14.2% respectively. Values for protein and moisture were not significant. Reductions in the contents of mineral elements were also significant with percentage reduction values for Na (95.3%), Mg (40.6%), K (32.2%), P (14.6%), Fe (13.6%) and Cu (11.9%). Values for Zn and Ca were not significant. The virus caused 56.9% reduction in phytate and increases of 22.8% (HCN) and 11.3% (total oxalate) in inoculated samples. The responses of vitamins to TeMV infection revealed reductions in all the vitamins investigated. Responses of amino acids to the virus depicted insignificant increases in inoculated compared to healthy. The results of this study reveal that minerals of P. vulgaris L. responded differently to TeMV infection. Some exhibited significant reductions in the nutritional quality of the legume while others showed marginal increases in inoculated samples in response to TeMV infection.
