to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

Low concentrations of boron were found to affect the bioelectric field potentials of hypocotyls excised from 4-day-old mung bean (Phaseolus aureus cv. Oklahoma 612) seedlings grown in darkness and irradiated with red light. The significance of this effect is discussed in relation to the possible role of boron in some membrane function.

The digestibility of proteins in red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was examined by in vitro pepsin assay. A 20-kDa polypeptide that remained highly stable after heat processing was identified as a basic subunit of legumin. The results of a monobromobimane (mBBr) labeling test implied that this protein contained rigid intramolecular disulfide bonds, which might contribute to pepsin resista...

The present investigation characterized the effect of red kidney bean lectin exposure on gut maturation and function in young piglets. Eleven suckling pigs were given by stomach tube a crude red kidney bean lectin preparation (containing about 25% lectin, 400 mg/kg BW) (lectin-treated pigs) at 10, 11, and 12 d of life, and an additional 16 pigs (control pigs) were given saline instead. On the n...

The experiment was carried out in 1999-2001 at the University of Agriculture in Krakow (Poland) to study the capacity of nine crops (red beet, field pumpkin, chicory, bean, barley, white cabbage, maize, alfalfa, and parsnip) to remove cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from different soil horizons (0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm). The content of exchangeable Cd, Pb, and Zn decreased along with the de...

adjustment of plant density is an important base on light, water and soil nutrients for increasing seed yield. to determine of plant density in new red bean lines (phaseolus vulgaris l.), this experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at lordegan region (chaharmahal and bakhtiari province) in 2004-2005. factors were new red bean lin...
