Mounting levels of insecticide resistance within Australian Helicoverpa spp. populations have resulted in the adoption of non-chemical IPM control practices such as trap cropping with chickpea, Cicer arietinum (L.). However, a new leaf blight disease affecting chickpea in Australia has the potential to limit its use as a trap crop. Therefore this paper evaluates the potential of a variety of wi...

Legumes are an alternative to animal foods due their high protein content. Like other legumes, Vicia faba (faba bean) has However, bean breeding with classical methods is challenging inbreeding depression, self-incompatibility, and abortive embryo formation. The inadequacy of the problems in fertilization biology plant limits production new varieties. Therefore, importance using vitro haploidiz...

Allium cepa, Guard Cell Protoplasts, Malate, Vicia faba Isolated and purified guard cell protoplasts of starch-containing ( Vicia faba) and starch-lacking (Allium cepa) stomata were used to study the metabolism of malate and Clanions as correlated with the K +-induced swelling of protoplasts. The correlation between swelling and malate synthesis in starch-containing and the inhibition of this c...

Guard cells, epidermal cells, palisade parenchyma cells, and spongy parenchyma cells of Vicia faba L. leaflet were analyzed for inorganic phosphate and phosphorus. On a molar basis, cells in the epidermal layer contained about 15-fold more inorganic phosphate than mesophyll cells did. Although a metabolic role for this asymmetric distribution cannot be defined unequivocally, we note that high e...

in order to evaluate the density, population and insect fauna diversity and agronomical yield in intercropping faba bean (vicia faba l.) andcoriander (coriandrum sativum l.), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the farm located in nagadeh, west azerbaijan province, iran during growing season in 2012-2013. treatments included 75...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/faba bean (Vicia faba L.) intercropping shows significant overyielding and high nitrogen (N)-use efficiency, but the dynamics of plant interactions have rarely been estimated. The objective of the present study was to investigate the temporal dynamics of competitive N acquisition between intercropped wheat and faba bean with the logistic model. Wheat and faba bean w...

REVIOUS experiments have shown that quantitatively the response P of chromosomes of Vicia faba in pachytene to X-rays is approximately the same as that of the same species at the onset of the somatic prophase (MARSHAK 1939a). CREIGHTON (1941) using methods similar to those employed in the Vicia studies found that meiotic chromosomes are only a sixth as sensitive as the mitotic chromosomes in Ch...

Detached broad bean (Vicia faba L.) leaflets were water stressed; within 15 minutes, guard-cell abscisic acid (ABA) concentration increased ninefold. This result eliminates the apparent discrepancy raised by reports of no correlation between initial water-stress effects on stomata and leaf ABA concentration. Six hours after stress relief, guard-cell ABA concentration was near the prestress valu...
