The low digestibility of grain legumes, particularly beans, is highlighted and its regulating factors (tannins, seed coat fiber, protease inhibitors, protein structure of the protein to digest, interactions between proteins and other cotyledon nutrients, etc.) are explained with the aid of a line...
All commercially grown bean var. in Central America of small shiny red grain type are susceptible to one or more strains of BCMV. An attempt was made to recombine the important var. characteristics of var. such as Honduras 46, Rojo Zamorano, Nahuizalco, Rojo de Seda, and Desarrural, in addition t...

The main priority of efforts in genetic improvement of beans is to increase the production in areas where it is currently cultivated. The environment in those areas has unfavorable climatic conditions for the crop and instead, favorable for the disease- insect complex attacking it. Through the co...

The progress and partial results are given of the research on the variability of protein and met. contents in beans. Crosses were made between 3 PI lines and Bush Blue Lake 240 (BBL 240), using the latter as female parent. The resulting generations were grown in Wisconsin, USA (1972) in a complet...

A number of improved varieties have been developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), combining diverse plant type with resistance or tolerance to several diseases, insect pests, and parasitic weeds and possessing other good agronomic traits. Trials were established wi...

Guinea yams (Dioscorea cayenensis-rotundata complex; D. rotundata Poir. and D. cayenensis Lam.) have been described as resulting from a process of domestication of wild yams of the section Enantiophyllum by African farmers. Although currently practised by few farmers, the process of yam domestica...

Results of a study on bean cultivation in El Salvador are given. Aspects analyzed were as follows: consumption structure (apparent, per capita, and rural-urban; preferences, consumption and cooking ways, and nutritive value); area, production, and yields (at national and regional levels, by cropp...
