Abstract Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) is one of the most widespread and damaging viruses cultivated legumes in world. In addition to serious yield reduction germplasm decline, BCMV infection also makes more vulnerable other pathogens. Early diagnosis particularly important limiting its spread. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) a novel isothermic technology. The whole reaction can be...

Beginning in 2000, snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crops exhibiting virus-like symptoms on the foliage (leaf distortion, yellow and green mottling, and mosaic) were increasing in frequency on a regional scale across the northern United States and Canada (10,20). These crops also produced fewer pods or pods that were either twisted or necrotic (hence unmarketable). Across the Midwest and north...

Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major crop in the Great Lakes region of the United States. The most significant production occurs in Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Snap bean crops also are produced in the Pacific Northwest, Georgia, Florida, and Ontario, Canada. In 2005, 124,367 ha of snap bean were harvested with a farm gate value of approximately $400 millio...

line g11867 was first introduced in iran together with 206 other white, chitti and red beans lines through ciat, and was tested in different breeding experiments from 1992 to 1999. it was selected as a superior line in all experiments. in 2001 this line was evaluated with other six lines for drought tolerance, and it was found to be more tolerant than cv. daneshkadeh the check cultivar. line g1...

R of the genetic code can be temporarily suspended to make room for a variety of specific tricks that direct synthesis of additional proteins from mRNAs that would not be predicted by their sequences. This ‘‘recoding’’ includes specification of the 21st encoded amino acid, selenocysteine (1, 2). In another form, recoding itself provides a sensing mechanism to regulate expression (3). In other c...

Introduction. The Gladiolus genus belongs to the Iridaceae Juss family. It includes more then 150 species. Most of them are native to Africa and few originated from the Mediterranean area, Asia and South Europe. Cultivars of gladiolus exhibit a great diversity of colour, size, shape, flowering time, and bulbing and dormancy behaviour [2]. Gladiolus is an important ornamental plant grown for com...
