Abstract Malnutrition in children will affect their growth, causing a decrease study skills and immunity. Considering the issues, overcoming nutritional issues of babies toddlers by giving food supplements is mandatory. Innovations making basically from fish aim to increase number nutritions such as protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants which contribute development body organ functio...

Seeds of the Pinto cultivar of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, are deficient in phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a lectin normally composed of two different polypeptides (PHA-E and PHA-L). In Pinto seeds, there is no PHA-E and only small amounts of PHA-L. The gene coding for the Pinto PHA-E, Pdlec1, is a pseudogene as a result of a single base pair deletion in codon 11, causing a frameshift and p...

Folate (vitamin B9) deficiency causes several health problems globally. However, folate biofortification of major staple crops is one alternative that can be used to improve vitamin intakes in populations at risk. We increased the folate levels in common bean by engineering the pteridine branch required for their biosynthesis. GTP cyclohydrolase I from Arabidopsis (AtGchI) was stably introduced...

to determine the effect of sowing dates (22 oct., 5 nov., 21 nov. and 5 dec.) on the green pod and dry seed yield of faba bean (vicia faba), field experiments were conducted using rcb design with four replications for three cropping seasons (1995-1998) at hashem abad research station in golestan province. result, of combined analysis of variance showed that 22 oct. and 21 nov. produced higher g...

Transgenic field peas (pisum sativum) expressing the alpha-amylase inhibitor (AAI) protein normally found in common beans (Tendergreen bean) are completely protected from infestation with pea weevils tested in the laboratory, greenhouse and field over several generations, and at many sites for efficacy against the insect pests. Previously, transgenic AAI pea feeding in mice was shown to influen...

A study to determine the protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score and protein efficiency ratio of nine different cooked Canadian pulse classes was conducted in support of the establishment of protein quality claims in Canada and the United States. Split green and yellow pea, whole green lentil, split red lentil, Kabuli chickpea, navy bean, pinto bean, light red kidney bean, and black be...

Broadcast plantings of nonhost cultivars (alfalfa, barley, bean, onion, potato, and wheat) in soil in redwood boxes (4.2 x 30 x 14 cm) infested with Heterodera schachtii reduced the initial nematode populations (P = 0.05). The reduction was greater with sugarbeets, a host, than with all other cropping treatments except onion, bean, and fallow (P = 0.05). After 80 days, when the root growth of a...

63 Bean rust is a devastating disease of common bean in the Americas and Africa. The historically 64 important Ur-3 gene confers resistance to many races of the highly variable bean rust pathogen 65 that overcome all known rust resistance genes. Existing molecular markers tagging Ur-3 for use 66 in marker assisted selection produce false results. We described here the fine mapping of Ur-3 67 fo...
