WATER ABSORPTION IN BEAN SEEDS (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) DURING PROCESSING

The purpose of this paper was to estimate and to evaluate the hydration curves of three kinds of dry bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), besides adjusting the Peleg’s model to the experimental values under several soaking temperatures. Bean seeds of pinto, black and red kidney varieties were soaked in distilled water in the temperatures of 20, 30, 40 and 50 °C. The constant C1 (Peleg rate c...

Shape analysis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds using image analysis

Morphological features of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds were measured in five bean cultivars (Akhtar, Ks21189, Ks31169, G11867 and khomein) using digital image analysis. The images of seeds were captured using digital camera (Canon G7). The images were analyzed using image processing toolbox of MATLAB ver. 7.6 software. Morphological features including Area, Perimeter, Major and Min...

Abortive Seed Development in Common Bean (phaseolus Vulgaris L.)

INTRODUCTION Embryo defective mutants in Phaseolus vulgaris obtained by Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) induction were studied to determine the structural and molecular basis of seed abortion in this species. In the wild-type, the classical pattern of seed development showed coordinated differentiation of the embryo proper, suspensor, endosperm tissue, and seed coat. On the contrarily, EMS mutant ...
