The relationship of respiration and growth of seed, pericarp tissue and whole fruit of snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was studied. The whole fruit exhibited an apparent climacteric type of respiration pattern. This pattern resulted from an increase in CO(2) production by the enlarging seed followed by a rapid decrease in CO(2) evolution by the pericarp tissue, and the pattern was not associ...

Beans are vegetables that widely cultivated in Indonesia. The growth of beans is determined by internal and external factors. factor affects the availability nutrients. Vermicompost an organic fertilizer can be used to increase growth. Research has been carried out on Analysis Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Growth Due Treatment Different Types Mulch. This study aims determine: (1) effect type mulch ...

A trypsin inhibitor was isolated from beans of Phaseolus vulgaris, cultivar. Kintoki, and the specific activity increased 200 times as high as that of the crude extract. It was homogeneous on several electrophoreses and the molecular weight was about 13,000. The amino acid composition was characterized by high ratios of cystine, aspartic acid, and serine. It inhibited trypsin in a molar ratio o...

An extract from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was fractionated with respect to RNA synthesis-stimulating activity. The activity of the fractions was tested in chicken-spleen lymphocytes cultured in serum-free medium and in plasmolyzed E. coli cells. Lymphocyte-stimulating activity was found in a fraction called F III. This fraction contained protein and orcinol-positive carbohydrate. Th...

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 ...

The aim of the present study was to measure the effect of graded inclusion of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) on plasma and liver lipids in hypercholesterolaemic pigs fed on a Western-type diet. Twenty-four Large White x Landrace pigs of about 30 kg body weight were made hypercholesterolaemic by feeding a semi-purified diet, high in saturated fat and supplemented with 10 g cholesterol/kg, for ...

Global climate change, causing large parts of the world to become drier with longer drought periods, severely affects production common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The bean is worldwide most produced and consumed food grain legume in human diet. In beans, adapted moderate climates, exposure drought/heat stress not only results significant reduction yield but also nutritional value. This revi...

The pathophysiology of major ocular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Bantu is not well understood. Several studies have been conducted to determine the basic reasons of visual deficiencies (VD) (blindness, visual impairment, and ocular eye diseases) in T2DM among Bantu from Central Africa. The quality of dietary intake was assessed in patients along with other ophthalmolog...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume with high nutritional value. In Nicaragua, certified healthy seeds of local bean varieties are not available, and seedborne fungi have gained little attention. Here, were surveyed seedborne pathogenic fungi in an important local bean cultivar, 'INTA Rojo'. Beans grown in the four main production areas in Nicaragua (Boaco, Carazo, Estelí...

A system was evaluated for growing plants at reproducible levels of water stress. Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were grown in vermiculite, transferred to a semipermeable membrane system that encased the root-vermiculite mass, and then placed into nutrient solutions to which various amounts of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20M were added to control solution water potential. The membrane (Spectrapor ...
