Does Providing Free Trial Packs With Demonstration Plots Increase the Adoption of Agricultural Technologies? Cost Effectiveness Evidence From Tanzania

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effectiveness of the common practice of providing free trial packs alongside demonstration plots managed by local extension agents to promote learning‐by‐doing and increase technology adoption among bean farmers in Tanzania. The experiment randomly assigned some villages to forgo trial packs containing seeds and a seed

Protoplast fusion technology for somatic hybridisation in Phaseolus [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2008
The success of interspecific breeding between Phaseolus vulgaris L. (PV) and the two donor species Phaseolus coccineus L. (PC) or Phaseolus polyanthus Greenm. (PP) requires the utilization of the donor species as female parents.

Sphingolipids in bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris)

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1969
Phytoglycolipid has been isolated for the first time from plant leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris). The purified product (almost identical with the phytoglycolipid isolated from flax seed) was a ceramide attached through phosphate diester linkage to an oligosaccharide, which consisted of the usual trisaccharide unit (inositol, hexuronic acid, hexosamine) to ...

Editing a gibberellin receptor gene improves yield and nitrogen fixation in soybean

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Knockout of the soybean gibberellin receptor gene GmGID1‐2 reduced plant height; strengthened stems; increased the number of branches, nodes, pods, and seeds; and improved yield, seed oil content and nitrogen fixation. ABSTRACT Soybean is an important source of oil, protein, and feed. However, its yield is far below that of major cereal crops.

Photorespiration: metabolic pathways and their role in stress protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Photorespiration results from the oxygenase reaction catalysed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase. In this reaction glycollate-2-phosphate is produced and subsequently metabolized in the photorespiratory pathway to form the Calvin ...

A stage‐dependent seed defense response to explain efficient seed transmission of Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans to common bean

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

Microclimate modification and insect pest exclusion using agronet improve pod yield and quality of french bean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
French bean [Phaseolus vulgaris (L.)] is among the leading export vegetable in Africa, mostly produced by small-scale farmers. Unfavorable environmental conditions and heavy infestations by insect pests are among the major constraints limiting production
