Abortive Seed Development in Common Bean (phaseolus Vulgaris L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 showed disruption in the normal seed development leading to embryo abortion. Most studies are limited to the early stages of embryo development (1). Little is known concerning the maturation process of the embryo or seed development. The present study was therefore undertaken firstly to detail the structural pattern of embryo development and secondly to investigate the structural basis of embryo abortion in common bean.

متن کاملMolecular and phenotypic mapping of genes controlling seed coat pattern and color in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) exhibits a wide variety of seed coat patterns and colors. From a historical perspective, extensive genetic analyses have identified specific genes that control seed coat pattern (T, Z, L, J, Bip, and Ana) and color (P, C, R, J, D, G, B, V, and Rk). Many of these genes exhibit epistatic interactions with other genes, interactions that define the many seed coat...

Common beans {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are consumed by humans in various fonns of food, mostly processed for baked bean. Therefore, seed coat integrity (high quality wholesome bean) of beans is extremely important. Split beans and cracked seed coats of white beans result in substantial problems in processing. Our first study showed variety differences in response to direct combine harvest (Gillar...
