Aims: Rice-based ready-to-eat extruded snack was developed by incorporating the rice flour with kidney bean, fermented surgum and unfermented sorghum flours sole aim of accessing effect addition bean on nutritional quality developed.
 Methodology: Rice-dried composite were supplemented grains optimized using optimal design model response surface methodology; dependent variables proximate m...

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...

Abstract Background Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith), or fall armyworm, is one of major migratory agricultural pests with a wide range hosts. The effect different hosts (maize and kidney bean) on the growth reproduction S. were investigated using age-stage, two-sex life table method. Results results showed that could complete its entire cycle both hosts, albeit significantly development reprodu...

High-resolution techniques for the localization of lectins are described. Concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) are localized using a fluorescent method with (FITC)-labelled immunoglobulins which bind to the lectins in sections of jack and red kidney bean cotyledons. Specificity is defined by the use of specific sugar inhibitors. Both Con A and PHA are found in cytoplasmic sites....

Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving the temporal bone region is uncommon and can resemble malignant neoplasms on imaging due to high cellularity. Although recognizing the presence of sharp margins with beveled-edges can be helpful, tissue sampling is often necessary for confirming the diagnosis. Cytology classically demonstrates kidney-bean shaped nuclei within the Langerhans cells and immu...

Only a few investigations have been reportedl of attempts to reveal the geometry of translocation by radioautography. Biddlulph's radioautograms of kidney bean stems (1, 2) show general localization of activity in the phloem region following foliar applications of p32, S-35, andl Cl40-. Thaine and Wralters (5) reported preliminary work with C14-photosynthate in soybeans. The application of radi...

This study was designed to determine the effects of red and far red irradiation on ATP metabolism in etiolated bean buds (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Red Kidney). Compared to dark controls, red irradiated buds show an initial decline in ATP content at 15 seconds following a 5-minute irradiation. ATP content then rapidly rises to a peak at 1 minute, and then slowly returns to the baseline. The 1-...

Seeds of oat, coconut, soybean, sunflower, rice, millet, kidney bean, buckwheat, wheat, and corn and vegetative tissue of oat, pea, and corn were assayed for free indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), esterified IAA, and peptidyl IAA. Three conclusions were drawn: (a) all plant tissues examined contained most of their IAA as derivatives, either esterified or as a peptide; (b) the cereal grains examined c...

The effect of abscisic acid on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Acala 4-42) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Red Kidney) explants was 2-fold. It increased ethylene production from the explants, which was found to account for some of its ability to accelerate abscission. Absci is acid also increased the activity of cellulase. Increased synthesis of cellulase was not du to an increase in agin...

Abstract The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an important invasive pest that causes serious damage to vegetables in China. Changes digestive enzyme activities (α‐amylase, trypsin, and tryptase) gene expression levels of F. were examined after they transferred kidney bean, a preferred host, or broad less‐preferred host. results showed α‐...
