“…Like other legumes, guar is used in the national economy. M. Shakir et al (2020) indicated that guar cake, similar to soybean meal, is a separate additive to animal food due to its high crude protein content of about 480 g/kg dry matter.…”

For effective introduction of guar into production, it is necessary to use varieties adapted to the Southern Steppe of Ukraine, the creation of which is impossible without well-researched collection material, which is relevant and important. Guar is in high demand globally in the food and oil industries, and most importantly, thanks to its ability to symbiotically fix nitrogen, it improves soil quality in a cost-effective and natural way. However, it is a completely new culture for Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene pool of guar plants and identify the best ones with economically valuable traits. The study used field, laboratory, and statistical methods. The results of the study conducted in 2020-2022 helped to identify the best introduced guar samples in terms of tolerance to hot temperatures and the arid climate of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine. The most adapted to this zone are IU07466 Haldi bhati and IU074658 Pusa Naubahar. They formed the maximum yields: IU07466 Haldi bhati – 262.5 g/m2 , IU074658 Pusa Naubahar – 329.0 g/m2 , which is more than 135% compared to the standard. The above-mentioned samples were characterised by a vegetation period of 133.5 days and 129.5 days, respectively, which, on average, over two years of research, exceeded the duration of the “germination – maturation” period of the standard variety IU074657 Ankur by 4.5-8.5 days. The correlation and regression analysis of the data obtained from the study of the introduced samples of the guar gene pool suggested a direct correlation between the weight of seeds per square metre and the number of beans and seeds per plant. The correlation coefficient is 0.997-0.986, respectively. It is recommended to use the identified sources of valuable traits for further effective implementation in the breeding and research programmes of scientific institutions to create self-pollinated lines, synthetic populations, varieties adapted to the extreme conditions of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine

“…Keeping in view the pharmacological potential of cluster bean, the BR-99 is the locally available cultivar of cluster bean with maximum grain yield potential that is, 1900 kg ha −1 , and also provides 30 t ha −1 fodder yield in Pakistan (lqbal Saleem et al, 2002; Khan et al, 2018; Shakir et al, 2020), however, with very less phytochemical exploitation knowledge. The current study aimed with detail exploration of the phytochemical and biological potential of locally recognized with high yield and wide range of adaptation cluster bean (BR-99) cultivar.…”

“…Additionally, the methanolic extract was found helpful in the therapeutic cure of anti-Parkinson's activity and motor dysfunction, owing to its anti-oxidants potential (Kaur and Saxena, 2021). The significant (99.99%) anti-viral potential of this plant was reported by Kaushik et al, 2020 tested against dengue-2-virus. Keeping in view the pharmacological potential of cluster bean, the BR-99 is the locally available cultivar of cluster bean with maximum grain yield potential that is, 1900 kg ha À1 , and also provides 30 t ha À1 fodder yield in Pakistan (lqbal Saleem et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2018;Shakir et al, 2020), however, with very less phytochemical exploitation knowledge.

The current study aimed to explore active metabolites of locally recognized and high yielding cultivar cluster bean (BR-99) with a wide range of adaptability having antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic potential. Six solvents were used (crude methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and aqueous) with escalating polarity for colorimetric determination of antioxidants such as total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Moreover, an antidiabetic and anticancer study was conducted by α-amylase inhibition and MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay. Biological investigations were carried out against the most commonly found infectious microbial strains. The significant results (P ≤ .001) of each activity were seen among six tested solvent extracts. The ethyl acetate and methanol extract have more antioxidant potential with the highest TPC (16.38 ± .13 mg GAE/g) and TFC (8.15 ± .24 mg CE/g), respectively. Similarly, methanol extract presented the highest free radical scavenging activity (46.31 ± .91%), followed by ethyl acetate, butanol, chloroform, aqueous, and n-hexane extract. However, the maximum α-amylase inhibition (62.54 ± 1.47%) and anticancer activity against human lung cancer cells were congregated (78.31 ± 1.46%) in butanol and chloroform, respectively. A positive correlation was seen between TPC with TFC ( R2= .8356), FRSA ( R2= .8381), and anti-diabetic activity ( R2= .8082), which highlights the phenolic contents as strong anti-oxidant agents especially flavonoids. Each extract of cluster bean (BR-99) showed significant antimicrobial activities for all tested bacterial strains except B. cereus and E. coli. The profound results of maximum antibacterial activity were witnessed by chloroform extract while ethyl acetate extracts showed great antifungal potential against all tested fungal strains. The HPLC quantitative analysis results of cluster bean (BR-99) revealed the presence of active phytochemicals such as gallic acid, HB acid, vanillic acid, kaempferol, sinapic acid, ferulic acid, salicylic acid, coumarins, quercetin, rutin, p-coumaric acid, and catechin, and the variation in both phytochemical and biological spectrums envisioned the cluster bean (BR-99) used in future as a cheap, safer, and potent source of bioactive drugs.

Choline chloride (CC) application enhanced the tolerance of cluster bean ( Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) against salinity stress. The aim of the study was to determine the protective role of CC on plant growth, photosynthesis, and biochemical indicators of oxidative stress. The seeds of BR-99 (tolerant) and BR-2017 (sensitive) were surface sterilized and sown in plastic pots containing river sandy soil. The design of the experiments was completely randomized with 4 replicates per treatment. Three weeks after germination, salinity (150 mM) was imposed. Then plants were sprayed with different concentrations of CC (3, 5, and 10 mM), while normal plants were sprayed with distilled water. Salinity decreased growth attributes, relative water contents, photosynthetic attributes, total soluble proteins, total free amino acids, phenolic, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, proline, and glycine betaine and increased the levels of oxidative stress indicators. However, the application of CC (particularly 5 mM) improved growth attributes, photosynthetic pigments, and activities of antioxidant compounds by reducing the levels of H2O2, malondialdehyde in salt-stressed plants in both cluster bean varieties. BR-99 variety showed more tolerance to salinity stress than that of BR-2017 in the form of greater oxidative defense and osmotic adjustment and clear from greater plant dry masses. Thus, our results showed that the application of CC (5 mM) is an efficient strategy for field use in the areas, where salt stress soils limit agriculture production.
