Seven legume extracts containing phytoestrogens were analyzed for estrogenic activity. Methanol extracts were prepared from soybean (Glycine max L.), green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), alfalfa sprout (Medicago sativa L.), mung bean sprout (Vigna radiata L.), kudzu root (Pueraria lobata L.), and red clover blossom and red clover sprout (Trifolium pratense L.). Extracts of kudzu root and red clo...

Protein isolate was prepared from red kidney beans and its functional properties were evaluated at different pH levels to access its suitability for food applications. Carbohydrates, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and ash contents of red kidney bean seeds were found to be 53.02±1.14%, 25.78±0.77%, 6.82±0.31%, 1.92±0.15% and 4.34±0.20%, respectively. Magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium ...

or ethylenediamune tetrancetate (Type I). Dark grown Euglena and Chlorella have aldolases inhibited by p-ohloromercuribenzoa.te and ethylenediamine tetraacetate but stimulated by K4 (Type II). The red alga, Chondrus, and the golden-brown alga, Ochromonas, appear to possess both types. Bean, pea, and spinach seeds and the leaves and cotyledons of etiolated bean seedlin4s oontain a p-diloromercur...

an isolate of fusarium moniliforme, a pathogen of winter wild oat (avena ludoviciana), was obtained from tehran province, iran, in 1994. a host range test performed on wheat, barley, maize, rye, millet, crested wheatgrass, faba bean, red bean, green bean, sunflower, soybean, oilseed rape, cotton, safflower, cucumber, water melon, berseem clover, and sainfoin, resulted in no symptom induction by...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important and widely cultivated Legume in the world. The two-spotted spider mite (TTSM), is one of the most important agricultural pests. This research provided some evidence of the applicability of CuO nano particles and nano capsule for controlling TTSM. To evaluate the effect of copper nano-capsules on the populations of TSSM from red be...

Proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions of raw and processed red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) flour were investigated on dry weight bases with a view to finding alternative and cheaper sources of protein to solve the problem of malnutrition due to inadequate protein in nutrition which is a prevalent problem in developing world, especially in Nigeria. Processing methods (cooking, b...

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...

to investigate the effect of sowing density and growth habit on yield, yield components and weed community of red bean an experiment was conducted at research farm of zanjan university, during 2009. the experiment carried out using factorial-split plot design in completely randomized block arrangement with three replications. the main plots, included three red bean cultivars (goli, sayyad and d...

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-...
