“…Peanut is an economically important oil seed crop (El‐Akhal et al., ; Meena, Meena, & Yadav, ) and its seeds are rich sources of dietary essential fatty acids including oleic and linoleic acids (Toomer, ). Essential fatty acids, for instance, polyunsaturated omega‐3 and omega‐6 fatty acids, are synthesized by plants (Qi et al., ), and are present in legume crops and soybean in significant quantities (Messina, ).…”

Peanut is a multipurpose oil-seed legume, which offer benefits in many ways. Apart from the peanut plant's beneficial effects on soil quality, peanut seeds are nutritious and medicinally and economically important. In this review, insights into peanut origin and its domestication are provided. Peanut is rich in bioactive components, including phenolics, flavonoids, polyphenols, and resveratrol. In addition, the involvement of peanut in biological nitrogen fixation is highly significant. Recent reports regarding peanut responses and N 2 fixation ability in response to abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, heat stress, and iron deficiency on calcareous soils, have been incorporated. As a biotechnological note, recent advances in the development of transgenic peanut plants are also highlighted. In this context, regulation of transcriptional factors and gene transfer for the development of stress-tolerant peanut genotypes are of prime importance. Above all, this review signifies the importance of peanut cultivation and human consumption in view of the scenario of changing world climate in order to maintain food security.

“…This explains why the edible leaves and seed of legumes (or pulses) are a very high source of dietary protein. Of the cultivated legumes used as food, seed protein is as high as 40% in soybean (Zarkadas et al, 2007), 33% in cowpea (Ddamulira and Santos, 2015), 20-25% in common bean (Broµghton et al, 2003), 20.6% in Bambara groundnut (Mazahib et al, 2013), 21.3% in Kersting's bean (Ayenan and Ezin, 2016), 27-29% in pigeonpea (Saxena et al, 1987), 21-31% in mungbean (Yi-shen et al, 2018), 21.8-25.8% in chickpea (Xu et al, 2016) and 20-30% in groundnut (Toomer, 2018). Additionally, cowpea also contain 34.9% of protein in edible leaves (Enyiukwu et al, 2018).…”

Cowpea is the most important seed legume in Africa. Its leaves and seed are consumed to meet the dietary requirements of protein and micronutrient in rural African communities. In this study, leaf protein of 32 cowpea genotypes was 23-40% at Taung (South Africa), 28-40% at Wa and 24-35% at Manga (Ghana). Seed protein level was also up to 40% in landrace Bengpla and more than 30% in nine other genotypes planted at Taung. Trace elements in cowpea leaves showed markedly high concentrations of Fe (2,011 in cowpea seed differed among genotypes, and ranged from 45.1 to 67.0 µg.g −1 for Fe, 33.9 to 69.2 µg.g −1 for Zn, 10.1 to 17.4 µg.g −1 for Mn, 14.7 to 21.4 µg.g −1 for B, and 5.2 to 8.1 µg.g −1 for Cu. Genotypes Apagbaala, Fahari, Iron Gray, and Line 2020, respectively, exhibited 34.2-, 34.0-, 22.5-, and 18.3-fold higher Fe concentration in leaves than seed, and 3.5-, 2.0-, 2.0-, and 3.5-fold greater Zn in leaves than seed (in that order). The genotypes that accumulated significantly high levels of protein and trace elements in cowpea leaves and seed, were generally high N 2 -fixers, thus suggesting a link between N 2 fixation and cowpea's ability to synthesize protein and accumulate nutrient elements in leaves and seed. Therefore, identifying cowpea genotypes that can enhance protein accumulation and micronutrient density in edible leaves and seed through breeding has the potential to overcome protein-calorie malnutrition and trace element deficiency in rural Africa.

“…A review presenting all the STB compounds identified in peanuts is provided by Sales & Resurreccion, . Another recent review (Toomer, ) summarizes the evidence of potentially relevant phytochemicals in peanuts ( Arachis hypogaea ). Taken together, the available data suggest that peanuts are not only a source of energy in the form of carbohydrates and lipids but also of phytochemicals with health‐enhancing potential: phytosterols, isoflavonoids, STBs, and so on.…”

This paper reviews the potential of stilbenoids as nutraceuticals. Stilbenoid compounds in wine are considered key factors in health-promoting benefits. Resveratrol and resveratrol-related compounds are found in a large diversity of vegetal products. The stilbene composition varies from wine to wine and from one season to another. Therefore, the article also reviews how food science and technology and wine industry may help in providing wines and/or food supplements with efficacious concentrations of stilbenes. The review also presents results from clinical trials and those derived from genomic/transcriptomic studies. The most studied stilbenoid, resveratrol, is a very safe compound. On the other hand, the potential benefits of stilbene intake are multiple and are apparently due to downregulation more than upregulation of gene expression. The field may take advantage from identifying the mechanism of action(s) and from providing useful data to show evidence for specific health benefits in a given tissue or for combating a given disease.
