in order to evaluate the intercropping of corn (zea mays l.) and bean cultivars (phaseolus spp.) an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replicaties at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2010. the experimental treatments consisted of sole cropping of corn, white bean, bush bean, red bean, pinto bean and swo...

Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships between genotypes is mainly important for selection of parental genotypes. Moreover, assessing diversity across and within crop varieties is important to improve the description of collections in gene banks and in on-farm conservation practices. In order to evaluation and study of genetic diversity in the bean in normal condition, forty-five bean...

environmental variables, including soil water content (swc), act as constraints on crop growth and productivity. therefore, open air (e0), perforated (e1) and non-perforated (e2) plastic housings were used with well-watered (w0), moderately-watered (w1) and water-stressed (w2) bush bean plants to explore the relationships between water-use efficiency (wue), carbon isotope discrimination (δ) and...

Determining the best combinations of variety choice and planting date may be crucial for farmers in view of optimising bean yields. A study was conducted to assess the agronomic performance of selected dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines when planted sequentially under rain fed conditions in the Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC). Forty two introduced lines and three local checks were used,...

Michaels, T. E., Smith, T. H., Larsen, J., Beattie, A. D. and Pauls, K. P. 2006. OAC Rex common bean. Can. J. Plant Sci. 86: 733–736. OAC Rex is an upright indeterminate bush white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar intended for use in areas with greater than 2800 crop heat units. It has good yield potential in either wide or narrow row production. It is resistant to races 1 and 15 of bean c...

Interest in malonic acid has been largely directed towards its role as a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase. Very little attention has been directed toward the occurrence of malonic acid in plants or toward the metabolismi of malonic acid per se. Bentley ( 1 ) recently showed malonate to be present in some 18 species of legumes, one of which had concentrations as high as 2 mg/g dry...

This thesis describes the development of statistical models to determine the relationships between vegetation indices and bush bean plant nitrogen stress levels thereby help early detection of bush bean nutritional stress. Two approaches, statistical analysis by SAS procedure and genetic algorithm (GA) were employed. Polynomial regression was used to fit data under all possible two-bands combin...

We show that the expression of an indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-modified protein from bean seed, IAP1, is correlated to the developmental period of rapid growth during seed development. Moreover, this protein undergoes rapid degradation during germination. The gene for IAP1, the most abundant protein covalently modified by IAA (iap1, GenBank accession no. ) was isolated and cloned from bush bean (...

The seasonal dynamics of aphid Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on four bean species namely country Lablab purpureus, yard long Vigna sesquipedalis, hyacinth Dolichos lablab and bush Phaseolus vulgaris were studied from September to December 2017 in the experimental field Department Entomology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh. study als...

At least 10 clifferent metabolic pathwvavs leadling to the formation of malonlate have beenl rieported. The enzymes participatiing in these pathways include: AcetylCoA carboxylase (6, 10, 11, 20, 37), transcarboxylase (1, 10, 14, 15, 16, 24), thiokinase and thioesterase (11), barbiturase (12), malonic senmialdehyde dehydrogenase (22, 31, 32), B-alanine transaminase (18), AcylCoA-CO., exchange (...
