A review of the occurrence and diversity of the sphragis in butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) [PDF]
Males of many butterfly species secrete long-lasting mating plugs to prevent their mates from copulating with other males, thus ensuring their sperm will fertilize all future eggs laid. Certain species have further developed a greatly enlarged, often spectacular, externalized plug, termed a sphragis.

A revision of Geoffroea(Leguminoscw–Papilionoideae)
Geoffroea (Leguminosae–Papilionoideae) has traditionally comprised three species. In this revision the number of species is reduced to two because G. striata (Willd.) Morong is considered indistinct from G. spinosa Jacq. and is placed in synonymy. No significant morphological variation is found between the five isolated areas of distribution of G ...

Nutritional analyses for proteins and amino acids in beans (Phaseolus sp.) [PDF]
The chemical index is a good estimator of seed protein quality of Phaseolus beans. In order to estimate this value, a protein hydrolysis and amino acid quantification are realised. The problems inherent to these techniques are presented.

The Genome of the Lima Bean Variety Baiyu Bean Highlights Its Evolutionary Characteristics
The reference genome of the baiyu bean was conducted, which has a contig N50 length of 47.55 Mb. Through comparative genomic analysis of legume species, gene families that have expanded and contracted in the baiyu bean, species‐specific genes, and genes under adaptive evolution have been identified.

Rescue of early heart-shaped embryos and plant regeneration of Phaseolus polyanthus Greenm. and Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
In order to improve plant recovery from early heart-shaped Phaseolus embryos, several refinements were made to the embryo rescue technique developed previously in our laboratory. Using Phaseolus polyanthus Greenm. and Phaseolus vulgaris L.
