Four different types of arcelin, a protein that plays an important role in resistance to bruchids such as Zabrotes subfasciatus, were identified in wild accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris. Isogenic lines with cultivated black- (Porrillo 70) and white- (Sanilac) seeded parents were obtained by norma...

Transferring genes for arcelin protein from wild to cultivated beans: Implications for bruchid resistance
A literature review is presented of the different concepts related to biological N fixation (BNF) in beans as well as the procedures to establish breeding programs leading to increase BNF. The N requirements of bean plants are determined as well as the sources from which it can be obtained; the b...

Bean arcelin: A seed storage protein associated with insect resistance in common bean [abstract]
Field experiments were performed in Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru as part of an FAO/IAEA Co-ordinated Research Programme to investigate the nitrogen fixing potential of cultivars and breeding lines of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Each experiment included app...
