Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a staple and nutritious leguminous food crop for all income categories in Africa. Efforts to improve its yield performance and nutritional components, especially Iron and zinc have resulted in the release of several varieties in the sub-Saharan African region. The objective of this study was to assess genetic ...

Now that multi-tiered plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs) have demonstrated sufficient proof of concept for leafy green and microgreen production; the next challenge is to determine the optimal environment conditions and horticultural management practices required to produce nutrient-dense plant-based protein (PBP) crops within these a...

Magnesium (Mg) is the fourth most abundant element in the human body and plays the role of cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions. In plants, Mg is involved in various key physiological and biochemical processes like growth, development, photophosphorylation, chlorophyll formation, protein synthesis, and resistance to biotic and abiotic str...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has two major origins of domestication, Andean and Mesoamerican, which contribute to the high diversity of growth type, pod and seed characteristics. The climbing growth habit is associated with increased days to flowering (DF), seed iron concentration (SdFe), nitrogen fixation, and yield. However, breeding effor...

Microencapsulation can improve protection for compounds that degrade easily, such as β-carotene that is present in large amounts in buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa). Encapsulating matrices are mainly composed of proteins and polysaccharides, which are often combined to improve their performance as a protective barrier. Beans, such as dark red kidney ...

Background: Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth that participates in a series of biological processes. Thus, P deficiency limits crop growth and yield. Although Stylosanthes guianensis (stylo) is an important tropical legume that displays adaptation to low phosphate (Pi) availability, its adaptive mechanisms remain largely...

Plant signaling & behavior
Not much information is available to substantiate the possible role of γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling in mitigating water-deficit stress in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants under semiarid conditions. Present work aims to investigate the role of exogenous GABA (foliar application; 0.5, 1 and 2 mM) in amelioration of drought stress and...

Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) are important pathogens of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a crop vital for food security in sub-Saharan Africa. These viruses are vectored by aphids non-persistently, with virions bound loosely to stylet receptors. These viruses also manip...
