Effect of water stress on protein and amino acids percentage in seeds of some legume crops [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Four legume crops (Lupin, chickpea, Faba bean and Lintel) were used to study the effect of irrigation water levels on protein, essential amino acids, and non-essential amino acids percentage in seeds of these crops. This investigation was carried out to study the effect of water stress i.e. irrigation at 40 %, 60 % and 80% depletion from available soil moisture. The highest values at essential amino acids percentage (Thrionine, Lucine, isolucine, Valine, Phenylalanine, Histidine and Lycine) in Lupin and Lintel increased at 40% depletion, while it was increased in chickpea and faba bean at 60% and 80% depletion respectively.
