Aluminum resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) involves induction and maintenance of citrate exudation from root apices by Rangel Becerra, Andrés Felipe, Rao, Idupulapati M., Braun, HP, Horst, Walter J.

“…Initially, in both genotypes the short‐term (4 h) Al‐injury period was characterized by the absence of citrate efflux independent of the citrate content of the root apices, and reduction of cytosolic turnover of citrate conferred by a reduced Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate–isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42) activity. …”

Observations on the geographic distribution, ecology and conservation status of several phaseolus bean species in Costa Rica by Araya Villalobos, Rodolfo, González Ugalde, W.G., Camacho Chacon, F, Sánchez Trejos, Maria P., Debouck, Daniel G.

“…As most of the diversity in landraces has been explored, focus is now on the exploration of wild forms of the primary gene pool and wild species of the secondary gene pool. A germplasm collection was carried out in the field and resulted in the collection of 29 wild populations for six Phaseolus species; it complemented field work done in 1987. …”

Spatial aluminium sensitivity of root apices of two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes with contrasting aluminium resistance by Rangel Becerra, Andrés Felipe, Rao, Idupulapati M., Horst, Walter J.

“…M Al) to different zones of the root apex using agarose blocks corroborated the importance of the transition zone (TZ, 1 2?mm) as a main target of Al. However, Al applied to the elongation zone (EZ) also contributed to the overall inhibition of root elongation. …”

Use of rainfall indices to analyze the effects of phosphate rocks on millet in the Sahel by Yamoah, C.F., Bationo, B. André, Shapiro, Barry I., Saidou, K

“…However, typical farmers in the Sahel barely use P rates above 20 kg ha-1 in view of the high cost of imported fertilizers. A low application rate of the local PR, 10 kg P ha-1, increased millet yield between 44 and 67%. …”
