WATER ABSORPTION IN BEAN SEEDS (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) DURING PROCESSING

The purpose of this paper was to estimate and to evaluate the hydration curves of three kinds of dry bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), besides adjusting the Peleg’s model to the experimental values under several soaking temperatures. Bean seeds of pinto, black and red kidney varieties were soaked in distilled water in the temperatures of 20, 30, 40 and 50 °C. The constant C1 (Peleg rate c...

Diversification and Population Structure in Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Wild accessions of crops and landraces are valuable genetic resources for plant breeding and for conserving alleles and gene combinations in planta. The primary genepool of cultivated common beans includes wild accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris. These are of the same species as the domesticates and therefore are easily crossable with cultivated accessions. Molecular marker assessment of wild bea...

Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Developing Seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Free and bound abscisic acid (ABA) in the pod, seed coat, and embryo were determined separately throughout seed development of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. ;Taylor's Horticultural.' An internal standard method of gas-liquid chromatography was used for ABA quantification. In the embryo, two peaks of free ABA occurred at days 22 (1.18 micrograms per gram or 5.5 micromolar) and 28 (1.74 micrograms pe...

List of Genes - Phaseolus vulgaris L

l-Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase Activity During Germination of Phaseolus vulgaris.

l-Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity develops in excised bean axes after approximately 5 hours of incubation and reaches a maximum level after 14 hours of incubation. Light does not affect the development of activity, but puromycin, cycloheximide, actinomycin D, and 5-fluorouracil inhibit.During this period of incubation both d- and l-p-fluorophenylalanine stimulate fresh weight increas...
