Pinto bean consumption reduces biomarkers for heart disease risk.

OBJECTIVE To determine effects of daily intake of 1/2 cup pinto beans, black-eyed peas or carrots (placebo) on risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in free-living, mildly insulin resistant adults over an 8 week period. METHODS Randomized, crossover 3x3 block design. Sixteen participants (7 men, 9 women) received each treatment for eight-weeks with two-week ...

Registration of Common Bacterial Blight Resistant Pinto Bean Germplasm Line ABCP-8

Acid-soluble nucleotides of pinto bean leaves at different stages of development.

Acid-soluble nucleotides of unifoliate leaves of Pinto bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were determined at young, mature, and senescent stages of development. At least 25 components could be distinguished on the basis of inorganic phosphorus determinations and 37 or more fractions on the basis of (32)P labeling, with adenosine di- and triphosphates accounting for 60% of the total moles of nu...

Inhibition of the k-stimulated ATPase of the plasmalemma of pinto bean leaves by ozone.

Three varieties of Phaseolus vulgaris which differ in their sensitivity to ozone were examined for changes in some physiological and structural plasma membrane characteristics. Plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from control and ozone-treated (0.2 to 0.5 microliters per liter ozone for 5 hours) leaf tissue, and the (K(+) + Mg(2+))-ATPase activity determined and compared. No major changes we...

Backcross breeding for improved resistance to common bacterial blight in pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris

Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli reduces common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield and quality worldwide. Genetic resistance provides effective disease control; however, a high level of resistance is difficult to attain and does not exist in pinto bean, the most important dry bean market class in North America. Our objective was to determine if a backc...
