“…Mungbean ( Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is one of the most important legume crops in Asia as an affordable source of protein (25.00–28.02%) that is easy to get (Lucilla et al., 2017; Nair et al., 2012; Perera et al., 2017). This plant grows and produces well in various soil types and altitude below 500 m asl (Wahyudin et al., 2015), tolerant to drought (Ghanbari & Javan, 2015), and potential for cultivation in low light intensity such as intercropping with higher canopy plants (Sundari & Mutmaidah, 2017).…”

Genotype × environment interaction (G×E) of harvest period should be involved to assess the suitability of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) for monoculture or intercropping cultivations. This research was aimed to study the effect of G×E interactions on phenology and synchronous maturity, the change of genetic parameter estimates, and the stability of harvest period in mungbean. The study was conducted in Bogor, Indonesia, from December 2017 to October 2018 in four environments: wet season, monoculture (WS.M) and intercropping (WS.I); dry season, monoculture (DS.M) and intercropping (DS.I). Ten mungbean genotypes were evaluated in monoculture and intercropping with sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivar Numbu using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The phenological traits, namely days to flowering, days to the first harvest, days to 90% harvest, plant height, number of productive branches, seed weight per plant (SWP), and the synchronous maturity traits, namely harvest period, degree indetermination of plant height (DDh1), degree of indetermination of harvest period (DDd2), were observed. The results showed that the G×E interaction effect was highly significant (p < .01) for all phenological and synchronous maturity traits except DDd2. Phenotypic expression of all traits, except SWP and DDh1, were largely controlled by the genetic factor (h 2 bs > 59.83%). Kefa, Kawur, VR480B, Lom2, MLB, Vima 2, VR10, VR60 were stable (b i = 1), VR05 was sensitive (b i = 1.70), and No.129 was insensitive (b i = 0.66) and suitable for monoculture in the dry season. The GGE biplot showed Kefa as a stable genotype with the shortest harvest period. Mungbean selection for synchronous maturity can use harvest period trait in monoculture at dry season.

Seed consumption has increased in recent years because the high nutrient content of seeds. However, the number of outbreaks caused by Salmonella associated with the consumption of low water activity food items has also increased, although these food items do not support microbial growth. The main goal of this study was to quantify microbial indicators and to determine the prevalence and content of Salmonella spp. in chia, amaranth and sesame seeds obtained from Mexican retail outlets. In addition, the behavior of this pathogen on seeds was also evaluated. One hundred samples of each product (chia, amaranth and sesame seeds) were collected from Queretaro City markets. Aerobic plate count (APC), coliforms and Escherichia coli were quantified, and the presence and number of Salmonella were also determined. Chia, amaranth and sesame seeds (1 kg each) were inoculated with a cocktail containing five Salmonella strains (~6 log CFU mL -1 ) and were stored at ambient temperature and populations of Salmonella were quantified. The median APC contents in chia, amaranth, and sesame seeds were 2.1, 2.4, and 3.8 log CFU g -1 , respectively, and the content of coliforms on the seeds ranged from 0.48 to 0.56 log MPN g -1 . E. coli was present at low concentrations in the three types of seeds. Salmonella was detected in chia (31%), amaranth (15%), and sesame (12%) seeds, and the population ranged from 0.48 to 0.56 Log MPN g -1 . Salmonella spp. decreased through 240 days of storage, showing inactivation rates of 0.017, 0.011 and 0.016 log CFU h -1 in chia, amaranth, and sesame seeds, respectively. The high prevalence of Salmonella in the seeds highlights potential risks for consumers, particularly giving that seeds are generally consumed without treatments guaranteeing pathogen inactivation.
