“…The powder of roasted seeds of C. rosea substitutes coffee powder, while leaves contain L-betonicine and roots are used to treat ciguatera poisoning [Bourdy et al, 1992;Bhagya, Sridhar, 2009]. Various pharmacological activities of C. rosea have been documented by R. Vasanthi and V. Balamurugan (2022). Food, forage and fodder importance of Canavalia spp.…”

“…Leaves of maritime-adapted Canavalia spp. possess adequate proximal components (proteins, total lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and energy) along with minerals and bioactive components [Abhisheka et al, 2022;Vasanthi, Balamurugan, 2022]. To expand the usefulness of maritime Canavalia pasture, the current study envisages addressing its bioactive compounds, antioxidant potential and functional properties.…”

This study documents the antioxidant and functional properties of pasture legumes belonging to the genus Canavalia DC., which occur in coastal sand dunes and mangroves in southwest India. The organs of these legumes possess adequate bioactive components such as total phenolics, tannin, flavonoids and vitamin C. These components were higher in methanol than in chloroform extracts. The total antioxidant activity was higher in chloroform extract than in methanol extract, while it was the opposite for reducing power. The ferrous ion-chelating capacity of C. cathartica was higher in chloroform than in methanol extract, while it was reversed for C. rosea. The DPPH radicalscavenging activities were higher in chloroform than in methanol extract. The bulk density was highest in C. cathartica for mangroves with the least gelation capacity. The water absorption capacity was highest in C. cathartica from the coastal sand dunes, while the oilabsorption capacity was highest in C. cathartica from the mangroves. The foam capacity as well as emulsion stability was highest in C. cathartica from the coastal sand dunes, while foam stability and emulsion stability were almost the same in all Canavalia spp. Given the high content of minerals, bioactive components and functional properties, Canavalia spp. can serve as a valuable feed for livestock.

Canavalia rosea is an extremophilic legume that grows in hypersaline and nutrient-deficient ecosystems. The extremophilic nature of C. rosea may be attributed to its ability to establish symbiotic associations with nutrient mineralizing and plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria housed in the nodules. This study examined legume-microbe symbiosis and plant nutrition of C. rosea growing in subtropical coastal zone in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. Canavalia rosea adult plants of the same age from Westbrook, Scottburgh and Durban were collected for plant biomass and plant nutrition and root nodules were used for bacterial extraction and identification. Rhizosphere soils sampled from the three localities were used for bacterial extraction and identification, extracellular enzyme assays and soil characteristics (pH, nutrient concentrations, total cation, and exchange acidity). Westbrook, Scottburgh and Durban soils were nutrient-deficient with varying total cations, acid saturation and a pH range of 7.3–7.6. Soil nutrient mineralizing extracellular enzyme activities varied across study sites. The culturable bacterial strains isolated from the sampled soils belonged to the Pseudomonas, Pantoea and Flavobacterium genera. Canavalia rosea root nodules were nodulated by Pseudomonas guariconensis, Pseudomonas fulva, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas chlororaphis and Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca. Plants growing in Westbrook soils had a significantly higher total plant biomass compared to Scottburgh and Durban plants. Plant P concentration did not vary significantly between sites while plant N and C concentrations varied significantly. Plant-associated and soil bacteria with phosphorus (P) solubilising, nitrogen (N) cycling, and N fixing functions and associated enzymes seem to facilitate the mobilization of nutrients enabling C. rosea to thrive in hypersaline and low-nutrient environments.
