Plants produce a wide array of nutrients that exert synergistic interaction among whole combinations of nutrients. Therefore comprehensive nutrient profiling is required to evaluate their nutritional/nutraceutical value and health promoting effect. In order to obtain such datasets for mung bean, which is known as a medicinal plant with heat alleviating effect, proteomic and metabolomic analyses...

use of plant growth promoting bacteria (pgpb) and high quality of seed as agricultural inputs play important roles in sustainable crop production. to study the effects of different levels of seed aging and pgpb's application on field emergence, seedling establishment and yield of two red kidney bean cultivars in field conditions, an experiment was carried out as factorial based in a rcbd d...

                In order to determine the best developmental stage of three common bean cultivars (Talash, COS16 and Khomain) at which maximum seed quality is attained under different irrigation regimes (I1-irrigation after 60 mm, I2-irrigation after 80 mm and I3-irrigation after 100 mm evaporation from class A pan), a split plot experiment (using R.C.B. design) with 3 replications was conducte...

in order to select the suitable lines of red bean for chahharmahal & bakhtiari province, this experiment was conducted in lordegan & boldaji regions at 2001-2005. at the first year, single plants of local red bean (from lordegan, ardal, boldaji, dastgerd emamzadeh and gandoman regions) were selected at research farm for phenotypic characters, yield and yield components. at the second year, sele...

Common bean consumption is associated with the prevention of chronic diseases and these effects are partially attributed to their polyphenol content. In this study, bioaccessibility anti-inflammatory activity polyphenols from six Mexican cultivars beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) varying in seed colour, was evaluated. all cultivars, digestion starch protein released significantly more compared soakin...

in order to investigate the effects of row intercropping of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) with borage (borago officinalis l.) on its ecological characteristics such as weed and insect diversity, composition and density and their yield and evaluating of the best strip width, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural rese...

Cowpea (V. unguiculata L. Walp.) is an important tropical grain legume. Asparagus bean (V. unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) is a distinctive subspecies of cowpea, which is considered one of the top ten Asian vegetables. It can be adapted to a wide range of environmental stimuli such as drought and heat. Nevertheless, it is an extremely cold-sensitive tropical species. Improvement of chilling to...

The crop nutrition has a well-defined effect on yield and quality of forage crops. Among various essential macro nutrients, the nitrogen has a key function in improving forage yield and crude protein contents but demand of crop for nitrogen varies with the cultivars. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50 kg ha) on forage yield and qual...

Uromyces phaseoli, the causal agent of bean rust, suppressed shoot and root growth of three bean cultivars, reducing root weight more than shoot weight. The greatest suppression of root weight was on the cultivar that appeared most susceptible by visual ratings of shoot symptoms. Meloidogyne incognita suppressed shoot and root growth of all test cultivars; root weight reductions differed among ...

field experiments were conducted in zanjan, markazi, esfahan, and chaharmahal va bakhtiari provinces to evaluate imazetapyr herbicide efficiency for weed control in common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in 2006. there were four replications at each site and treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design. in zanjan, maximum weed biomass reduction by 91 and 88 percent were achieved ...
