Vermicompost and water stress effects on dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): productive parameters and water relations

Comparative Water Relations of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus acutifolius Gray.

Leaf area expansion, dry weight, and water relations of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and P. acutifolius Gray were compared during a drying cycle in the greenhouse to understand the characteristics which contribute to the superior drought tolerance of P. acutifolius. Stomates of P. acutifolius closed at a much higher water potential than those of P. vulgaris, delaying dehydration of leaf tissue. P. acu...

Polyphenol-Rich Dry Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and Their Health Benefits

Polyphenols are plant metabolites with potent anti-oxidant properties, which help to reduce the effects of oxidative stress-induced dreaded diseases. The evidence demonstrated that dietary polyphenols are of emerging increasing scientific interest due to their role in the prevention of degenerative diseases in humans. Possible health beneficial effects of polyphenols are based on the human cons...

Metabolomic analysis of the effects of edible dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) on tissue lipid metabolism and carcinogenesis in rats.

Metabolite profiling using liquid chromatography-time-of-flight MS was undertaken to identify candidate metabolic processes that account for dry bean effects on disease risk with a specific focus on the development of breast cancer. Normal mammary gland and mammary carcinomas from previously reported experiments were evaluated. Principal component analysis (PCA) of mass spectral data revealed t...
