Speculation still surrounds some of the aromatic hydroxylation processes which are believed to operate in higher plants. Griffith and Conn have thus shown, contrary perhaps to expectation, that partially purified phenolase preparation from Vicia faba do not catalyse the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dopa and they concluded that phenolase does not appear to play a role in L-dopa synthesis. 

Faba bean, Vicia faba cultured hydroponically with nutrient solutions containing 100 mg Cu/L for 24 days shoots analyzed before (day 4) and after (day 24) 20-day infestation by the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae. Controls were raised Aphid infestation caused a significant reduction in copper content of shoots from 51 mg Cu/kg DW to 17 mg/kg copper in control was 25 mg/kg DW prior to aphid infestation and 14 mg/kg after 20-day infestation 3...

The whipping expansion was determined by 4 minutes whip of a solution having 3% protein ( ). Figure 4 shows whipping expansion versus DH for ultrafiltered and acid-precipitated soy proteins modified by Alcalase. Similar results have also been found for ultrafiltered and acid-precipitated proteins from faba beans (Vicia faba) (Sejr Olsen, unpublished results). 

Phenoxazinone production was as well observed in incubation media of Secale cereale, but not in such of Vicia faba and Triticum aestivum [180]. The compounds can be detected as well in incubation media of several dicotyledonous species [187], Since surface sterilization of oat caryopses with NaOCl did not prevent phenoxazinone production, it is possible that the responsible microorganism(s) are located within the caryopses. Phenoxazinone itself has an inhibitory effect on oat radicle elongation, probably caused by intercalation of the phenoxazinone ring system to DNA, as it is known from the phenoxazinone ring system of the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D, an antibiotic produced by Strepto-myces species.

Application of [2- C]IAA to the cotyledon of etiolated 5-day-old broad been (Vicia faba L. cv Chukyo) seedlings resulted in accumulation of radioactive substances in the root primordia and in the stele of the basal part of the roots [24, 25]. Two metabolites being more polar than lAA-Asp accounted for 70-80% of total radioactivity in the root after 24-h treatment, and they were not extracted with ether in acid pH. After hydrolysis with 2 M HCl or 7 M NaOH, their radioactive moieties were extracted with ether, but they did not coincide with lAA. We purified the two substances from Vicia roots and identified them as 3-(0-)S-glucosyl)-2-indolone-3-acetylaspartic acid (Glc-DIA-Asp) and 3-hydroxy-2-indolone-3-acetylaspartic acid (DIA-Asp) [26, 27]. The DIA moiety is converted into 2-quinolone-4-carboxylic acid (QCA) by acid hydrolysis and the UV spectrum of QCA is quite different from that of DIA, which is in contrast with the conversion of OxIAA into l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinolone-4-carboxylic acid without accompanying large spectral change.
