RESPONSES OF LEAVES OF PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L. TO SIMULATED ACIDIC RAIN

CHANGES IN LIPID COMPOSITION OF Phaseolus vulgaris LEAVES AFTER SIMULATING ACID RAIN TREATMENT

In the present study we have examined the influence of single spraying with simulated acid rain (pH 1.8) on the content of main lipid classes and their fatty acid composition in the thylakoid membranes of bean plants. Acid stress caused considerable changes in the investigated parameters. A decline in the content of linolenic acid, a highly unsatureted fatty acid which is an indicator of lipid ...

List of Genes - Phaseolus vulgaris L

Carbon Partitioning among Leaves, Fruits, and Seeds during Development of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Development of vegetative and floral buds was found to be a key factor in establishing the way carbon is distributed among growing leaves and fruits in Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants. Leaves emerged principally during a period 14 to 32 days after planting while flowers were produced during a 10- to 12-day period near the end of leaf emergence. Timing of anthesis established the sigmoidal time cou...

Studies of l-Cysteine Biosynthetic Enzymes in Phaseolus vulgaris L.

In higher plants the biosynthesis of l-cysteine from l-serine, acetylCoA, and sulfide requires serine transacetylase and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase. The distribution of these enzymes in kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Red Kidney) seedlings was determined. Between one-third and two-thirds of the serine transacetylase activity was associated with mitochondria, whereas all of the O-acetyl...

Differences in antioxidant, morphological and biochemical responses to drought stress in different cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Drought stress is the most common environmental stress that can significantly influence crop productivity. In this study, morphological and biochemical properties of 17 genotypes of common bean were evaluated under different levels of drought stress and the most sensitive and tolerant genotypes were identified using multivariate analysis. The results indicated that morphological and biochemical...
