Eight coals used as carriers in legume inoculants promoted the survival of Rhizobium phaseoli on pinto bean seeds. Although peat was more protective, most coal-based inoculants provided >10 viable rhizobia per seed after 4 weeks.

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and plant density on yield, yield components and morphological characters of pinto bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) c.o.s16 cultivar, a field experiment was conducted in split plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of yasouj university during 2010. experimental treatments were pinto be...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and the relationships between studied characteristics with seed storage proteins, 60 genotypes with three colors (white, red and pinto bean) were studied using an augmented design with three blocks and four varieties as controls. the majority of studied traits were significantly different between large and small s...

The relative affinities ufeondensed tannins purilied from sorghum, pinto bean, quebracho and wattle for six dissimilar protins have been determined by a competitive binding assay. The results indicate that tannin/protein interactions may be specific for different tanains as well as for different proteins. The highly specific interactions suggest that the differences in affinity are functionally...

The social and economic burden caused by chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer is enormous. To reduce the impact of these diseases, we must find ways to reduce their prevalence. Epidemiological studies have found links between the incidence of cancer and consumption of dry edible bean {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the human diet. Correa (1981) examined data from 41 ...

Introduction Phenolic compounds are important phytonutrients that are ubiquitously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. These compounds are associated with the sensory and nutritional quality of fresh and processed plant foods. Several varieties of dry beans {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varying in seed shape, size, and color are consumed throughout the world primarily as an important source of ...
