Modeling of suitable geographic areas for Striacosta albicosta in corn and dry bean crops under climate change scenarios. [PDF]
In recent years, the occurrence of the pest Striacosta albicosta has expanded from western to eastern North America. This study identified areas with suitable climatic conditions for the establishment of this pest. Our findings may guide government agencies to prevent the spread of this pest to new areas.

A defective ABC transporter of the MRP family, responsible for the bean lpa1 mutation, affects the regulation of the phytic acid pathway, reduces seed myo-inositol and alters ABA sensitivity [PDF]
We previously identified the lpa1 (low phytic acid) 280-10 line that carries a mutation conferring a 90% reduction in phytic acid (InsP6) content. In contrast to other lpa mutants, lpa1(280-10) does not display negative pleiotropic effects.

Genetic control of isozymes in the primary gene pool Phaseolus lunatus L. [PDF]
Suitable electrophoretic separation methods of 34 isozymes from 17 enzyme systems resolved in Phaseolus lunatus L. (Lima bean) were developed. Data from the migration of the staining zones indicated that three loci control EST, GPI, IDH and MDH ...

Chloroplast Microsatellite Diversity in Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Evolutionary studies that are aimed at defining the processes behind the present level and organization of crop genetic diversity represent the fundamental bases for biodiversity conservation and use. A Mesoamerican origin of the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris was recently suggested through analysis of nucleotide polymorphism at the nuclear level. Here,
