Representatives of the genus Hedera L. have been cultivated in Nikitsky Botanical Gardens over two centuries. The inventory collection has revealed thirty five species, cultivars, and forms, including four relics cultivation – H. helix 'Angularis', 'Rugosa', 'Cavendishii', hibernica 'Scutifolia'. presence three thirty-two cultivars forms belonging to which species varieties reached generative s...

in order to investigate the effects of weeds interference on yield and yield components of different genotypes of common bean, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research station of tabriz university, in 2011. the main plots were eight genotypes of different types of common bean including red bean, (cv. gho...

Eighty-one cultivars from 12 field crop species were assessed for suitability as hosts to the root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus neglectus, in two field trials. Host status was assessed on the basis of either final P. neglectus densities in soil or multiplication rate under different crops. Both techniques gave consistent results for crop and cultivar ranking, and it was therefore concluded tha...

Understanding the mechanisms that regulate xylem transport of calcium (Ca) to snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) pods could allow approaches to increase pod Ca concentration and enhance the nutritional value of edible pods. Using the snap bean cultivars Hystyle and Labrador, which exhibit high and low pod Ca levels, respectively, we wished to determine whether there were differences between the ...

Shoot biomass is considered a relevant component for crop yield, but relationships between biological productivity and grain yield in legume crops are usually difficult to establish. Two field experiments were carried out to investigate the relationships between grain yield, biomass production and N and P accumulation at reproductive stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars. Nine an...

The long tradition of common bean cultivation in Italy has allowed the evolution of many landraces adapted to restricted areas. Nowadays, in response to market demands, old landraces are gradually being replaced by improved cultivars. However, landraces still survive in marginal areas of several Italian regions. Most of them appear severely endangered with risk of extinction due to the advanced...

Plants produce a wide array of nutrients that exert synergistic interaction among whole combinations of nutrients. Therefore comprehensive nutrient profiling is required to evaluate their nutritional/nutraceutical value and health promoting effect. In order to obtain such datasets for mung bean, which is known as a medicinal plant with heat alleviating effect, proteomic and metabolomic analyses...

Several cover crops with potential for use in tropical and subtropical regions were assessed for susceptibility to three common species of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita, and M. javanica. Crops were selected based on potential use as organic amendments in anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) applications. Nematode juvenile (J2) numbers in soil and roots, egg production, a...

Abstract: Since 1932, the Common Bean Breeding Program of Instituto Agronomico (PMGF-IAC) has provided bean cultivars with high yield potential and stability, grain technological quality nutritional value, resistance tolerance to main common diseases, commercial acceptance. This article presents results PMGF-IAC from a study its research, development, innovation (RD&I) trajectory information re...

The involvement of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) concentrations in common bean responses to saline stress was studied in two cultivars iffering in NaCl tolerance. To examine this, salt-sensitive (cv. Coco) and salt-tolerant (cv. Africa) plants in symbiosis with Rhizobium tropici IAT899 strain were grown under controlled conditions and treated with ABA previously to the saline treatment. Plants ...
