We present here the first complete Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) genomic sequence isolated from virus-infected common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in East Timor, and compare it with six complete BMCNV genomes from the Netherlands, and one each from the United States, Tanzania, and an unspecified country. It most resembled the Netherlands strain NL-8 genome.

The genus Phaseolus (Fabaceae) consists of some 50 species, all of which are distributed in the Americas. Four of these contain cultigens. P. vulgaris (common bean), P. lunatus (lima bean), P. acutifolius (tepary bean), P. coccineus subsp. coccineus (runner bean); and P. coccineus subsp, polyanthus (no English vernacular name). Biochemical markers--phaseolin seed storage protein and isozymes--h...

We have confirmed here that the seeds of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) do not support development of the bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), a pest of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] seeds. Analysis of the testa (seed coat) of the bean suggested that neither thickness nor the levels of compounds such as tannic acid, tannins, or HCN are important for the resistance. On the oth...

Soil solution pH can affect the response of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to mesotrione residues | Laura Pismarović, Ana Milanović-Litre, Kristina Kljak, Boris Lazarević, Maja Šćepanović Agricultural Journals

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an annual grain legume that was domesticated in Mesoamerica (Central America) and the Andes. It is currently grown widely also on other continents including Africa. We surveyed seedborne viruses in new common bean varieties introduced to Nicaragua (Central America) and in landraces and improved varieties grown in Tanzania (eastern Africa). Bean seeds, harvest...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the world’s second most important grain legume after common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Ethiopia considered as a secondary center of genetic diversity for chickpea.

Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. 3, September 2009 219 Great northern common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) ‘Coyne’ (Reg. No. CV-287, PI 655574) was developed by the dry bean breeding program at the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division and released in 2008. It is named in honor of Dermot P. Coyne, who was the bean breeder at the University of Nebraska for about 30 Regi...

The amino acid sequences of garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) trypsin inhibitor II and a related molecular species II' have been examined. The entire sequence of II' has been determined with the exception of five internal residues. The garden bean inhibitors are highly homologous to the Bowman-Birk soybean inhibitor and lima bean trypsin inhibitor IV. The trypsin-reactive site has been located i...

A genome-wide analysis identified the set of small RNAs (sRNAs) from the agronomical important legume Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean), including novel P. vulgaris-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) potentially important for the regulation of the rhizobia-symbiotic process. Generally, novel miRNAs are difficult to identify and study because they are very lowly expressed in a tissue- or cell-specific m...
