Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume with high nutritional value. In Nicaragua, certified healthy seeds of local bean varieties are not available, and seedborne fungi have gained little attention. Here, were surveyed seedborne pathogenic fungi in an important local bean cultivar, 'INTA Rojo'. Beans grown in the four main production areas in Nicaragua (Boaco, Carazo, Estelí...

Herbs that have curative properties been used for a very long time in the practise of traditional medicine. The French bean, scientifically known as Phaseolus vulgaris Linn, is an excellent choice meal that's high both carbohydrates and protein. This plant has variety different components, including sugars, proteins, saponins, tannins, phenolic acid. Linn. also Anti-obesity anti-urolithiatic pr...

in order to investigate the effects of row intercropping of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with borage (borago officinalis l.) on its ecological characteristics such as weed and insect diversity, composition and density and their yield and evaluating of the best strip width, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural rese...

Complex toxic effects of Cd2+, Zn2+, and acid rain on growth of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) were studied in a pot experiment by measurement of fresh weights of the plants, determination of surperoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and lipid peroxidation (MDA) in the plant organs, and observation of injury symptoms. The experimental results demonstrated that all treatments of Cd2+, Z...

Variation for segregation ratios and recombination rates was analyzed in crosses involving 13 common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes from different gene pools and races. The segregation of RFLP, isozyme, and phaseolin markers belonging mostly to linkage groups D5 and D7 was analyzed in 11 F2 populations derived from Middle American x Andean, and Andean x Andean crosses. An average level ...

The regulatory sequences of many genes encoding seed storage proteins have been used to drive seed-specific expression of a variety of proteins in transgenic plants. Because the levels at which these transgene-derived proteins accumulate are generally quite low, we investigated the utility of the arcelin-5 regulatory sequences in obtaining high seed-specific expression in transgenic plants. Arc...
