Analysis of DNA polymorphisms allows for the genetic identification and precise discrimination of species with a narrow genetic base such as common bean. The primary objectives of the present study were to molecularly characterize commercial common bean varieties developed at various research institutions using microsatellite markers and to determine the degree of genetic diversity among the be...

recently, biofertilizer application is growing to meet sustainable agriculture goals. the present experiment was designed to evaluate four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 90 and 120 kg n.ha-1) as main plots, two supernitroplus biofertilizer levels) with and without biofertilizer) as sub-plots on yield and yield components of three sesame cultivars (naz, oltan and varamin (as sub-sub-plots in a split-sp...

The common bean is one of the most important legumes in the human diet, but little is known about the endophytic bacteria associated with the leaves of this plant. The objective of this study was to characterize the culturable endophytic bacteria of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves from three different cultivars (Vermelhinho, Talismã, and Ouro Negro) grown under the same field conditions...

in order to evaluate nitrogen fixation ability and nutrients uptake in three cultivars of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) inoculating with some types of inoculants containing different strains of rhizobium leguminosarum; bv. phaseoli an experimental design was conducted in khoramdarah region in 2006 and 2007. in this investigation three types of biological fertilizers including rb117, rb123...

The genus Phaseolus (Fabaceae) consists of some 50 species, all of which are distributed in the Americas. Four of these contain cultigens. P. vulgaris (common bean), P. lunatus (lima bean), P. acutifolius (tepary bean), P. coccineus subsp. coccineus (runner bean); and P. coccineus subsp, polyanthus (no English vernacular name). Biochemical markers--phaseolin seed storage protein and isozymes--h...

We conducted a survey of fungal endophytes in 582 germinated seeds belonging to 11 Colombian cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The survey yielded 394 endophytic isolates belonging to 42 taxa, as identified by sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Aureobasidium pullulans was the dominant endophyte, isolated from 46.7 % of the samples. A...

in order to evaluate the effects of row spacing and seed rate on yield and yield component of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) cultivars, a split plot factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications was conducted at second crop research station of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2008 and 2009. experimental factors were row spacing in three le...

Acevedo, M., Steadman, J. R., and Rosas, J. C. 2013. Uromyces appendiculatus in Honduras: Pathogen diversity and host resistance screening. Plant Dis. 97:652-661. Bean rust, caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus, is a major constraint for common bean production worldwide. Virulence of U. appendiculatus collected from wild and cultivated Phaseolus spp. was examined in 28 locations across ...
