Bean, dwarf

An epimeric mixture of sclareol (29) and n-epi-sclareol (33) has been shown to inhibit germination of spores of several rust diseases on tobacco, broad bean, dwarf bean, and wheat plants at 100 ppm (Wain, 1977). 

Green beans (Dwarf French beans) are grown mainly for processing but there is a small retail market for fresh green beans. Green beans are usually classified according to pod width Fine beans (8.0-9.0mm pod width) Medium fine beans (9.0-10.5 mm pod width) and Medium fine/large beans (>10.5 mm pod width).

Presently, the expansion of winged bean production and commercial development is inhibited by the lack of dwarf morphological variants and ecological uncertainties (80). A preliminary note on the development of bush type mutant in India has appeared (81), though scientific details have not been reported yet. 

Tall plants like sweet corn, which initially cast little shade, can be undercropped with lower-growing plants like dwarf string beans, lettuce, or mizuna, or spreading vegetables such as zucchini and pumpkins, to make maximum use of space. Shade-tolerant vegetables like lettuce and spinach can be sown between rows of climbing beans.

The results in Table I show that, in the presence of plant material, the standard GA3 is spread over a considerably wider range than is usual. However, after the sample is further purified by the second run, the mobility of GA3 returns to normal. The same pattern of distribution, with zone III as maximum, is manifest in the natural run, although at considerably lower fluorescent intensities. For both fractions, the presence of GA3 is confirmed by the capryl system. A portion of zone III of the natural extract gave positive response proportional to concentration in the pinto bean seedling assay and in the dwarf maize mutants I and V assay. The relative activity on both mutants was approximately equal, as is required for GA3 (26). The correlation of relatively specific biological growth activity with chromatographic and chemical behavior affirms the presence of a GA3-like substance in kudzu vine.

Coombe showed that the activity of grape extracts was much greater on d-5 dwarf corn than on d-1 (13). Two different compounds have been isolated from bean seeds—bean factor 1 behaved like GA but bean factor II was ten times as active on d-5 as on d-1 (24, 45). Coombe believed that the activity in grapes may be due in part to the presence of bean factor II or other gibberellin-like compounds.

As in the studies with bean plants, it was indicated that a correlation existed between the presence of radioactivity due to Cl4-gibberellin in the growing regions of the leaves of dwarf com and the observed growth response. 

Few published data are available concerning phosfon D and its effects on plants (12,18, 21), but it is included in this report because its effect on the growth of chrysanthemums is similar to that of AMO 1618 and CCC (8). Phosfon D is effective on chrysanthemums at 1(H and 10 3 M by causing a decrease in height of the plant up to 75%. The effect is reversed by gibberellin (8). Snap beans, cucurbits, and tomatoes, which are dwarfed or shortened by the proper level of phosfon D treatment, are often injured when only slightly higher concentrations of the compound are applied (12, 21).

Gibberellins have remarkable effects on many dwarf plants, such as dwarf pea, dwarf corn, and bush beans. When treated with gibberellins, these plants grow to full size. Gibberellins also affect the extent to which a plant develops side branches. 

In principle, all plant species in the habitats exposed to airborne nickel emissions accumulate nickel, and in this respect it was irrelevant whether these were leafy species, fruits, seeds, tubers, or thickened parts of roots (carrots, turnips). Dwarf beans ready for eating proved to be particularly rich in nickel (8 mg kg dry matter), even on normal sites (Anke et al. 1993a,b, 2003, Szentmihaly et al. 1980).
