Climate change and the antinutrient–antioxidant puzzle in common bean seeds
Abstract Non‐proteinaceous and proteinaceous antinutrients in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds can negatively affect human nutrition by reducing mineral bioavailability and impairing protein digestibility during digestion, respectively. However, many of these compounds also possess strong antioxidant properties that can help protect the plant ...

ABSTRACT The value of purchased seed is a product of its underlying genetic information. However, farmers purchasing seed face a classic information asymmetry problem, as varietal identity is not directly observable. In this article we investigate the effectiveness of two certification systems in addressing this issue in the context of Uganda: the ...
