Book excerpt: The International Year of Pulses celebrated in 2016 magnified the public focus and consumer perception on human health, environmental aspects, crop production and novel product development benefits of pulses. The gluten-free and plant protein movements have also increased interest in pulse utilization. The common dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) among pulses is the most economically and widest ecologically adapted crop species used for food by large populations. Nowadays, dry beans top the list of pulse crops accounting on average for ~38 and 32% of global pulse growing area and production, respectively. Protein production from kidney beans requires about 18, 12, 10, 10 and 9 times less land, fertilizer, pesticide, water and fuel, respectively compared to producing the same amount of protein from beef.This book focuses on breeding aspects including new cultivars, production and post-harvest practices, and investigations that can lead to the development of high quality grain and functional foods, and nutraceutical products from beans. It also provides an overview of the crop management practices, technology progress and impacts favoring the best possible clean and sustainable crop production. Bean breeding is highlighted form the European perspective including the preservation/conservation of local gene pools. Bean production and quality improvement is a continuous process, particularly in major bean producing and consuming countries. The socioeconomic impact is considerable in countries where beans are traditionally part of the staple daily diet. However, application of novel technologies in improving nitrogen fixation, integrated disease management, and post-harvest storage ensures sustainable bean production and quality. The quality of bean types close to the site of its original domestication provides an outlook on their resilience and potential as a genetic resource and future food products. Current knowledge of bean health benefits, bioactive compounds, bioactive peptides and phenolics are important for development of novel functional foods. Beans can be used in many forms; as a natural coagulant, in metabolic disease prevention and other common bean-based food products, where their current market availability is explored. The multiple attributes of beans including cost, sustainability, commercial availability in varied forms and types ensure its extensive and expanding use in the development of healthy eating habits that can reduce healthcare and societal costs. This book should give plant scientists, nutritionists, health professionals, chemists and industry professionals interested in beans useful and up-to-date information to advance the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume for human consumption and has an important role in cropping systems as a rotational crop. Improving the sustainability in agriculture is necessary for meeting the food demands of a growing global population while lessening the environmental impact of cropping systems. Developing efficient methods of improving host-plant resistance to dry bean anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) and the symbiotic nitrogen fixation ability (SNF) can enhance the sustainability of common bean as a food crop. A QTL study with the black bean cultivar 'TU', known to possess the C. lindemuthianum race 109 resistance gene Co-5, was conducted to develop molecular markers to deploy in the MSU Dry Bean Breeding Program. Resistance to anthracnose was investigated in an F2 population developed from a cross between 'B19504' (a susceptible breeding line) and TU. 25 SNPs were identified between 6.84 and 24.62 Mb on linkage group 07. Improving SNF in common bean requires a method of efficiently evaluating breeding lines for the trait. Predictive models were developed from remote sensing-derived vegetation indices and machine learning algorithms to assess their ability to accurately and reliably estimate percent nitrogen derived from the atmosphere. A Random Forest model developed to predict nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (Ndfa) using yield and remote sensing (RS) data resulted in an average accuracy of r = 0.54. This model is promising in low nitrogen trials as an early selection tool to identify lines with higher SNF ability. Two prediction models for yield as an indirect indicator of SNF were developed using stepwise general linear modeling (StepwiseGLM) and Bayesian regularized artificial neural network (BRNeural Network) were determined to be accurate and reliable (StepwiseGLM r = 0.64; BRNeural Network r = 0.65). These models are promising in low nitrogen trials as an early selection tool to identify lines with higher SNF ability.
Download or read book Genetics and Breeding for Nitrogen Fixation in Common Bean Phaseolus Vulgaris written by W. Q Ribeiro Junior and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial selection for nitrogen fixation was made from 77 genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) adapted to Goias state, Brazil, comparing them with control genotypes with know symbiotic capacity. After several selections, the outstanding genotypes for nitrogen fixation produced 1314 kg/ha (almost three times the Brazilian average), but the treatment with mineral nitrogen was superior, suggesting the necessity of a breeding project for nitrogen fixation. Two genotypes were selected based on their capacity to fix nitrogen, productivity without nitrogen fertilizers, adaptability to Goias state and other agronomic characteristics. The two parents were evaluated in semi-controlled conditions for symbiotic capacity. The genotype WBR2255 showed better symbiotic efficiency, nodule dry weight, weight per nodule, later nodule senescence and greater tolerance to mineral nitrogen in the latter stages of growth than A295.

Download or read book Physiology Quality and Agronomic Performance of Snap Beans Phaseolus Vulgaris L and Spring Wheat Triticum Aestivum L as Affected by Environment and Several Plant Growth Regulators written by Mahlon Malcolm Schallig Hile and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of environment and several plant growth regulators on the physiology, quality, and agronomic performance of snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The potassium salts of naphthenic acid and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, received particular attention. Application of potassium naphthenate solutions to the foliage of 14-day-old wheat seedlings caused significant reductions in height for the first 4 weeks after treatment. Reductions were observed in water-soluble sugars in the shoots and roots. Accompanying increases in water-soluble protein and free amino acids were measured in the shoots. No significant effect on amino acid levels was noted in the roots but increases were observed in soluble protein. The reductions in sugars and increases in proteins and amino acids indicate a shunting of carbon skeletons from carbohydrate to nitrogen metabolism. Under field conditions, 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) and(2-chloroethyl) trimethylammonium chloride (chlormequat) regardless of rate or time of application produced significant reductions in wheat plant height. Ethephon was more effective in height reduction than chlormequat. Potassium cyclohexanecarboxylate and potassium naphthenate in many cases significantly increased the length of the uppermost internodes. Differential wheat cultivar response to growth regulator application was evident with the exception of plant height and associated measurements which were similar between cultivars with a given regulator. Changes in grain nutritional quality components exemplify these differential responses. Vitamin content was generally lowered by potassium naphthenate, and potassium naphthenate and potassium cyclohexanecarboxylate lowered the mineral content of the grain. Individual quality components appeared to be affected independently. No significant increase in snap bean yield resulted from regulator treatments in the field. Protein content was significantly increased in spring-planted snap bean pods by at least one rate of all the regulators studied with the exception of potassium cyclohexancarboxylate which lowered protein. Several growth regulators produced significant increases of B-carotene content in summerplanted snap beans whereas, ascorbic acid was significantly reduced by all applications in the spring but not in the summer planting. Controlled environment experiments where high temperature and low relative humidity were imposed had little effect on pod protein and B-carotene content. In contrast, ascorbic acid content was drastically reduced the first day after exposure to stress conditions. Though plants tended to adjust to their new growing conditions, after 5 days they had not reached levels of ascorbic acid found in unstressed control plants. Treatment with potassium naphthenate tended to lower levels more and retard adjustment to the higher temperatures. Nutritional quality in snap bean pods appeared to be affected more by the prevailing environmental conditions near harvest even though yield varied greatly between cultivars and to a lesser extent between dates of planting. Ascorbic acid content appears to be more sensitive to seasonal fluctuation in environment than B-carotene or protein content, as large variations in ascorbic acid content between planting dates were evident. Subjection of cultivars to growth at 80 and 50% relative humidity resulted in differences in growth habit though no differences were observed in yield or nutrient content. The relative ranking of yield of cultivars in controlled environments differed from that observed in the field though differences in B-carotene and ascorbic acid contents were similar. A comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to the effects of naphthenates on plants is discussed in detail. In addition, an exhaustive summarized review of the effects of naphthenates on biological systems (plants, microorganisms, warm and coldblooded animals) illustrates the wide range of biological actions of this series of naturally occurring petroleum acids.
