Kidney cancer is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant and grow uncontrollably, forming mass or tumor. Before discussing further cancer, it important to briefly know the kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located lower abdomen on left right of spine. primary function excrete water, salt, other unnecessary substances turn them into urine. urine collects renal pelvis (the ...

A study to determine the protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score and protein efficiency ratio of nine different cooked Canadian pulse classes was conducted in support of the establishment of protein quality claims in Canada and the United States. Split green and yellow pea, whole green lentil, split red lentil, Kabuli chickpea, navy bean, pinto bean, light red kidney bean, and black be...

Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans is a seed-borne disease that can signifi cantly reduce yield and seed quality of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Disease resistance is the most effective management strategy, but most common bean cultivars have no CBB resistance. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) shows prom...

When the hemagglutinating action of extracts from ground seeds of different lines or cultivars of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was tested with blood cells from different animals, four different patterns of activity were distinguished. The most common type, called A, agglutinated all blood types tested with the exception of cow blood cells which were rendered susceptible to agglutination by treatm...

Plasma membranes from abscission zones of kidney bean seedlings were isolated on sucrose density gradients using cellulase and KCl-stimulated ATPase as marker enzymes. Following treatment of the seedling explants with 50 microliters per liter ethylene, an increase in the buoyant density of the plasma membrane fraction from 1.165 to 1.175 grams per cubic centimeter was observed. Such a change is...

Plant isoamylase-type starch-debranching enzymes (ISAs) hydrolyze alpha-1,6-linkages in alpha-1,4/alpha-1,6-linked polyglucans. Two ISAs, designated PvISA1/2 and PvISA3, were purified from developing seeds of kidney bean by ammonium sulfate fractionation and several column chromatographic procedures. The enzymes displayed different substrate specificities for polyglucans: PvISA1/2 showed broad ...

responded to those of proteins deduced from the CR6RP1 and -2 cDNAs. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the CRGRPs accumulEted specifically in the lignified walls of metaxylem vessels in the root, stein and leaf and in the lignified cell walls of periyascu]ar fibers in cucumber stems. ImmunostHining was also detected in the walls of metaxylem yessels and in the ceLl walls of adjacent sc...

The fluorescence emission and excitation properties of protochlorophyll in etiolated cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons and primary bean (var. Red Kidney) leaves were characterized at 77 K. Contrary to previous studies, it appears that the short-wavelength protochlorophyll emission band consists of four fluorescent components, instead of only one nonphototransformable protochlorophyll. It...
