Improvement of protein and amino acid contents in seeds of food legumes. A case study in Phaseolus [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 1999 Food legumes are considered as the major source of dietary proteins among the plant species. Protein and amino acid contents were evaluated in a wide sample of both wild and cultivated genotypes of Phaseolus species, with a view to investigate ...

Chloroplast Microsatellite Diversity in Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 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,

Contribution des ressources phytogénétiques à la sélection variétale de légumineuses alimentaires tropicales [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2001 Contribution of plant genetic resources to varietal selection of tropical food legumes. Thanks to their high content of proteins in the dry seeds and to their ability to fix symbiotically the air nitrogen, the food legumes are a key component of the ...

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...
