“…Lentil (Lens culinaris) is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world and its production has more than quadrupled since the 1960s reaching a global production of over 5 million tonnes in 2013 (FAOSTAT, 2016). It is well-known as a nutritious grain and forms the basis of many traditional Asian and Middle Eastern recipes (Raghuvanshi and Singh, 2009). In Australia, it is grown as a winter crop under non-irrigated conditions, and therefore frequently subjected to terminal drought conditions.…”

“…L entil is a crop that is consumed for its high levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals (Raghuvanshi and Singh, 2009). Lentil has become an important crop for the northern Great Plains of North America with acreage steadily increasing to meet a growing global demand for this pulse crop.…”

Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis of Seed Quality Characteristics in Lentil using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers

2013

Seed shape, color, and pattern of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) are important quality traits as they determine market class and possible end uses. A recombinant inbred line population was phenotyped for seed dimensions over multiple site-years and classified according to cotyledon and seed coat color and pattern. The objectives were to determine the heritability of seed dimensions, identify genomic regions controlling these dimensions, and map seed coat and cotyledon color genes. A genetic linkage map consisting of 563 single nucleotide polymorphisms, 10 simple sequence repeats, and four seed color loci was developed for quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. Loci for seed coat color and pattern mapped to linkage groups 2 (Ggc), 3 (Tgc), and 6 (Scp) while the cotyledon color locus (Yc) mapped to linkage group 1. The broad sense heritability estimates were high for seed diameter (broad-sense heritability [H 2 ] = 0.92) and seed plumpness (H 2 = 0.94) while seed thickness (H 2 = 0.60) and days to flowering (H 2 = 0.45) were more moderate. There were significant seed dimension QTL on six of the seven linkage groups. The most significant QTL for diameter and plumpness was found at the cotyledon color locus (Yc). The markers identified in this study can be used to help enrich breeding populations for desired seed quality characteristics, thereby increasing efficiency in the lentil breeding program.

“…As a result lentils should not be eaten raw and require a cooking time of 10–30 min, depending on the variety (shorter for small varieties with the husk removed, such as the common red lentil). In addition, the phytate concentration can be reduced by soaking the lentils in warm water overnight 10 12. Based on the above information, we believe that the most probable cause for her condition was inadequate preparation and an incorrect cooking method used for the lentil soup, which was also probably not well-masticated and was swallowed rapidly.…”

“…World lentil production has risen steadily by 412% from 1961–1963 to 2004–2006 9. Lentils are used throughout South Asia, the Mediterranean region, the Middle East and also all over Europe, North and South America 10. Lentils are highly nutritious.…”

An unusual cause of small bowel obstruction in children: lentil soup bezoar

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bezoars are an unusual cause of acute intestinal obstruction in children. Most cases are trichobezoars in adolescent girls who swallow their hair. Lactobezoars are another unusual but occasionally reported cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates. Phytobezoars and food bolus bezoars are the least common types of intestinal obstruction that have been reported in children. Of the few paediatric cases that have been described, the majority involve persimmons. Moreover, all of these cases involve the ingestion of raw fibres or fruit that have not been cooked. We report a case of a girl who presented with acute ileal obstruction because of lentil soup bezoar. Given the wide use of this otherwise nutritional foodstuff, we highlight the danger from its inappropriate preparation to the health of children. This is the first reported case of intestinal obstruction caused by lentils in children and we hope to raise concern among paediatricians regarding this matter.
