Runner beans

Pelargonin-3-biosides are of widespread occurrence, e.g. in the nasturtium, scarlet runner bean, gloxinia. See anthocyanins. 

Cyanidin, peonidin, and pelargonidin were detected in free forms in the Tolosa bean variety. This was the first report regarding the presence of aglycones in natural form in vegetable samples. On the basis of the data obtained by HPLC-MS and chemical tests, 3-methyldelphinidin and 3-methylcyanidin were identified in scarlet red runner beans and in kidney beans. ... 

Below, bottom) Supports for climbers This is one of the simplest structures to make, from trimmed poles lashed together with twine. Pushed securely into the ground, it will be used to support runner beans. 

Harvesting inevitably leaves gaps in an edible landscape. Solve this problem by using varieties that can be picked over a long period, such as kale or loose-leaf lettuces. In addition, select crops that still look good after the edible part has been harvested, such as green beans, runner beans, or zucchini. 

Charming climbers A tripod or obelisk covered with climbing beans makes a striking focal point for a border, or can be grown in a large tub. The scarlet flowers of these runner beans open over many weeks if the beans are regularly picked. 

The vegetable crops of this family are grown primarily for their fleshy pods and/or seeds. Peas and fava beans are hardy, cool-season crops, growing best below 60°F (15°C). String beans and runner beans are frost-tender and need warmer conditions (although runner beans cannot stand dry soil). Young fava bean pods and shoot tips can be eaten, but the seeds are the main crop. Traditionally, peas are shelled from their pods, but snow peas and sugarsnap pods are eaten whole. 

Crops needing lots of water, such as runner beans, can have pails of water poured around their roots. 

Susceptible plants A wide range, including runner bean, black and red currant, apple, chrysanthemum, dahlia, fuchsia, and rose. 

Disorder especially affecting fruit, zucchini, and runner beans. 

Susceptible plants A wide range of plants under cover. In a hot dry season, may also attack outdoor plants, especially strawberry, peach, grape vine, cucumber, French and runner beans, eggplant, fuchsia, and busy Lizzy. 

The level of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides has been shown to decrease during the germination of seeds of various species (see also, Ref. 12), notably, barley,618 broad bean,22 coffee,630 com,631 cotton,20,8318 lupin,632 pea,833,834 Pinus sp.,635,638 rice,637 runner bean,822 soy-... 

Immature seed was examined because Phinney, West, Ritzel, and Neely (16) and Radley (17) had shown it to be the richest source. Runner bean was chosen because it was grown locally. 

Gibberellin A6. Thirty milligrams were isolated from 24 kg. of seed— i.e., about 1 mg. per kg. Gibberellin A6 has also been isolated in trace amounts from the sap of runner bean pod. 

Figure 5 shows the four gibberellins we have isolated from runner bean seed.

Finally, a group of lectins having a complex, sugar specificity that has yet to be established includes agglutinins from the red kidney-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris),218 the spindle tree(Evonymus europaea L.),217 the scarlet runner-bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.),218 Vicia graminea,219,220 and the meadow mushroom (Agaricus bisporus).221... 

The seeds cf many other species cf legumes are also eaten. These inclnde the chick pea Cicer arietinum, lentil Lens escidenta, common pea Pisuni sativuni, broad or faba bean Viciafaba, cow pea Vigna sinensis, common bean P. vulgaris, mung bean Pkaseolus aureus, Lima bean P. lunatus, and scarlet runner bean P. mult lorus. The entire pod of the carob Ceratonia sili-qua can be eaten and is similar to a candy because cf the naturally large concentratim of si ar that it contains. 

A range of methods have been described in the literature, and we shall consider them in the following order (1) the methods developed at the Food Research Institute-Norwich (FRIN), to isolate cell walls from a range of vegetables and fruits (runner beans, potatoes, cabbage and apples), cereals (oats, wheat and rye) and cereal products (wheat bran and rye biscuits), and lignified tissues (parchment layers of runner bean pods) (2) the special techniques, which may include wet sieving steps, used for the isolation of cell walls from potatoes, wheat endosperm, and wheat and barley aleurone layers (3) alternative methods for the isolation of cell walls from starch and protein-rich products (rice) and (4) methods used for the isolation of cell walls from suspension-cultured tissues. 

Comments. The method described is applicable to starch- and protein-rich tissues. For starch-poor tissues much less aqueous DMSO is required. For protein-poor tissues the PAW treatment may be omitted, but it should be borne in mind that in such cases the adsorbed detergent, some pigments, and small amounts of residual proteins would be removed by the subsequent aqueous DMSO treatment. The yield of CWM depends on the type of tissue from 100 g fresh parenchymatous (or immature) tissues the yields of dry CWM are as follows potatoes (1.0—1.2 g), runner beans... 

Phenol/aceticth acid/water. PAW desorbs residual intracellular proteins, some starch, adsorbed deoxycholate, lipids, and pigments from the SDC-residue. The amount of cell wall polysaccharides solubilized is approximately 1% of the dry weight of the purified CWM for potatoes, runner beans, wheat bran, and oats. 

To solubilize the hemicelluloses, we prefer a two- or three-stage extraction of the depectinated residue because some fractionation of the hemicelluloses could be effected. Thus with CWM from immature cabbage leaves, and parenchymatous tissues of apples and runner beans, 1 M KOH solubilized the bulk of the polysaccharide-protein or polysac-charide-protein-polyphenol complexes, some of which precipitated on neutralization. The stronger alkali, on the other hand, solubilized the bulk of the strongly hydrogen-bonded xyloglucans and glucomannans.
