Lathyrus latifolius has winged hairless stems, and alternating blue green compound leaves consisting of a single pair of leaflets and a winged petiole about 2 inches (51 mm) long. The leaflets are narrowly ovate or oblong-ovate, smooth along the margins, hairless and up to 3 in (76 mm) long and 1 in (25 mm) across. There is a branched tendril ...
The leaves are reduced to simple (unbranched) tendrils and what look like leaves are actually stipules, which are ovate-hastate in shape and up to 50 mm long. The flowers are usually solitary and yellow (often streaked with violet), 10–13 mm in length, and held on long (up to 50 mm) stalks branching from the leaf axils.
Destarching occurs in a plant when a part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". [1] [2] It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments concerning photosynthesis. This is done by leaving the plant(s) in a dark place for 3 days.
The plant generally looks like bunched leaves arising from branched stems, which form a crown on the soil surface. Bambara is considered as a fast-growing crop. The growth cycle is between (min-max) 90–170 days [11] and under optimal conditions the cycle is about 120–150 days to pod maturity. [21] Flowers appear 40–60 days after planting ...
Pure starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of two types of molecules: the linear and helical amylose and the branched amylopectin. Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight. [4]
The Fabaceae (/ f ə ˈ b eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) or Leguminosae, [6] commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, are a large and agriculturally important family of flowering plants. It includes trees , shrubs , and perennial or annual herbaceous plants , which are easily recognized by their fruit ( legume ) and their compound, stipulate ...
Tapioca starch. Tapioca (/ ˌ t æ p i ˈ oʊ k ə /; Portuguese: [tapiˈɔkɐ]) is a starch extracted from the tubers of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta, also known as manioc), a species native to the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, [1] but which has now spread throughout parts of the World such as West Africa and Southeast Asia.
Lathyrus pratensis or meadow vetchling, [1] yellow pea, [2] meadow pea [3] and meadow pea-vine, is a perennial legume that grows to 1.2 m in height. The hermaphrodite flowers are pollinated by bees. As a perennial, this plant reproduces itself over many years, spreading out from the point it was introduced, especially in damp grassy areas. This ...
