The purpose of this paper was to estimate and to evaluate the hydration curves of three kinds of dry bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), besides adjusting the Peleg’s model to the experimental values under several soaking temperatures. Bean seeds of pinto, black and red kidney varieties were soaked in distilled water in the temperatures of 20, 30, 40 and 50 °C. The constant C1 (Peleg rate c...

Consumption of Phaseolus vulgaris bean species such as pinto, black, navy or kidney may be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. In particular, conditions that are promoted by increased glycaemic stress (hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia) including diabetes, CVD and cancer seem to be reduced in individuals who eat more of these beans. The present paper discusses the...

bean root rot caused by plant pathogenic fungus, fusarium solani, is considered one of the most important diseases of bean in the world and in iran. because of economic importance of bean and the lack of information on population diversity of the pathogen in zanjan province, a research was conducted to study phenotypic, genotypic and pathogenicity variation of pathogen isolates and to assess pa...

The present study aimed to characterize pinto and cranberry bean landraces of Kashmir valley. A set 30 genotypes including 16 12 type two checks viz., Shalimar Rajmash-1 (SR-1) French Bean-1 (SFB-1) were evaluated for seven qualitative 10 quantitative traits.  There was a substantial variation among accessions (28 2 checks) all the Out 28 landrace accessions, 13 bushy 15 pole type.  P...

Examination of closely related species pairs is suggested for evolutionary comparisons of different degrees of polyphagy, which we did here with three taxa of lepidopteran herbivores, Spodoptera spp (S. littoralis, S. frugiperda maize (C) and rice (R) strains) for a RNAseq analysis of the midguts from the 3rd instar insect larvae for differential metabolic responses after feeding on pinto bean ...

Bean rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, is a devastating disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the Americas and Africa. The historically important Ur-3 gene confers resistance to many races of the highly variable bean rust pathogen that overcome other rust resistance genes. Existing molecular markers tagging Ur-3 for use in marker-assisted selection produce false results. Here, w...

BACKGROUND Many consumers avoid eating beans because they believe legume consumption will cause excessive intestinal gas or flatulence. An increasing body of research and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans supports the benefits of a plant-based diet, and legumes specifically, in the reduction of chronic disease risks. The purpose of the current research was to investigate the perception ...

pinto bean is a susceptible plant to drought stress. however, there is genotype variation for this trait in this plant. in order to investigate the effects of drought stress on physiological traits and grain yield of pinto bean genotypes cultivated in zanjan province, an experiment was conducted as spilt plot based on a completely randomized block design with four replications at zanjan univers...

The effects of prefumigation light regimes on plants indicate that light modifies the response of plants to ozone. Taylor et al. (11) reportecl that ozone injury to Pinto bean was reduced when plants were grown at the higher level of 2 light intensities. Menser et al. (7) foundl that ozone danmage to tobacco plants was diminished by an extendedl 22-hour photoperiod immediately before funmigatio...
