New USask research has potential to make fava beans a new favourite from farm to fork

In research just published in the journal Nature Plants, an international team of researchers including USask plant scientists have identified a key step in how the plant also known as the faba bean or broad bean produces the compounds vicine and convicine. In four per cent of the world’s population who carry a specific gene, digesting fava beans can trigger the blood disorder, known as favism. “Fava bean has been a neglected crop because of the favism issue,” said Dr. Albert Vandenberg (PhD), USask plant breeder and geneticist, and co-author of the research. “Now, we can reduce 99 per cent of the vicine and convicine, and using sequencing and genomics, we should be able to zero in, to shut it down, 100 per cent.”

Stereocomplex PLA for composites

Stereocomplex PLA for composites 1st June 2021 Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP), based in Potsdam, Germany, have received funding to develop new reinforcing PLA fibres for composites. The challenge is that conventional PLA has a relatively low temperature resistance and technical fibres can be produced most economically using the melt spinning process. The Fraunhofer IAP team has developed more thermally stable stereocomplex PLA (sc-PLA), in which the PLA molecules form a special crystal structure. This allows the production of fibres which have a melting point that is 40-50°C higher than conventional PLA fibres. The researchers are now working with fibre producer Trevia to optimise a melt spinning process for sc-PLA filament yarns.
