The effect of ascorbigen and 1′-methylascorbigen on the disease resistance of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.,. cv. Debreceni Tarka) to the fungal pathogen Uromyces phaseoli Pers. is reported. Contrary to ascorbigen, pretreatment of bean plants with 1′-methylascorbigen, as in the case of other endogenous N-, O- and S-methyl compounds, induced the double immune response leading to the biochemical immunization of plants. The effectiveness of protection depended on the dosage of the applied 1′-methylascorbigen and on the time interval between the chemical pretreatment and inoculation. Results of our greenhouse experiments revealed, in accordance with previous results, that the presence of the N-methyl group in the 1′-methylascorbigen molecule is the precondition of the effect, and formaldehyde formed from this N-methyl group and its reaction products (e.g. singlet oxygen, ozone) can have a determining role in the manifestation of the effect.

A solution containing 0.5 p.p.m. of atrazine, simazine, igran, or GS-14254 with 0.2% triton-B 1956 was applied to the foliage of 11-day-old seedlings of bush beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. cultivar Tender-green, growing on vermiculite in a controlled environment. The activities of nitrate reductase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, α-amylase, starch phosphorylase, and adenosine triphosphatase were determined 5,10, and 20 days after treatment. In general, the activity of each of the five enzymes was stimulated by the treatment. The results suggest that protein increase following the application of.s-triazines to bean plants may stem in part from an enhanced rate of amino acid formation resulting from the induced increment in nitrate reductase and transaminase activity. The application of these chemicals also creates a metabolic condition favorable for greater use of carbohydrates needed for nitrate reduction and protein synthesis, and as a source of organic acid synthesis.

EM (effective microorganisms) is a biofertilizer consisting of a mixed culture of potentially beneficial microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of EM treatment on leaf in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence of photosystem II (PSII), yield, and macronutrient content of bean plants grown on different substrates (nutrient rich substrate vs. nutrient poor sandy soil) in controlled environmental conditions (pot experiment in greenhouse). EM-treated plants maintained optimum leaf photosynthetic efficiency two weeks longer than the control plants, and increased yield independent of substrate. The levels of seed nutritionally-relevant molecules (proteins, lipids, and starch) were only slightly modified, apart from the protein content, which increased in plants grown in sandy soil. Although EM can be considered a promising and environmentally friendly technology for sustainable agriculture, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of EM, as well as its efficacy under open field conditions.

This mini-review points to the usefulness of the pea–Fusarium solani interaction in researching the biochemical and molecular aspects of the nonhost resistance components of peas. This interaction has been researched to evaluate the resistance roles of the phytoalexin, pisatin, the cuticle barrier, and the activation of the nonhost resistance response. Concurrently, evaluations of associated signaling processes and the tools possessed by the pathogen to contend with host obstacles were included. The properties of some pathogenesis-related genes of pea and their regulation and contribution to resistance are discussed. A proposed action of two biotic elicitors on both chromatin conformation and the architectural transcription factor, HMG A, is presented and includes time lines of events within the host immune response.

Leaf growth and chlorophyll level in GA<sub>3</sub>-treated bean, and leaf growth and transpiration intensity in ABA-treated bean plants were studied at two potassium concentrations in the medium (1 and 3 mM KNO<sub>3</sub>). The plants were grown on Hoagland's solution and growth regulators were applied to the shoot growth apexes. Both GA<sub>3</sub> and K<sup>+</sup> ions were found to stimulate growth of primary leaves and increase their potassium amount. GA<sub>3</sub> contrary to K<sup>+</sup> slightly decreased the potassium content in leaves Both factors reduced the chlorophyll content but did not affect the total chlorophyll amount in these organs Interaction between GA<sub>3</sub> and K<sup>+</sup> ions was of additive nature. The effect of ABA and K<sup>+</sup> ions on growth of both kinds of leaves and on the amount and content of potassium in them were antagonistic. The inhibitory effect of the hormone was stronger at higher potassium concentration in the medium. Either factor reduced transpiration intensity in leaves, however, the inhibitory effect of the growth regulator was stronger at lower potassium concentration. The potassium level modified both the physiological effect of the regulators and the sensitivity of bean particularly to ABA.

The results obtained in pot and field experiments have shown that <i>Helminthosporium sorokinianum</i> is able to infect bean plants. The cotyledons and roots of shoots during the first three weeks of growth are attacked the most frequently. Dark brown spots occur on the above-mentined organs. The infection of roots and cotyledonsof shoots is responsible for gangrene both before and after germination. Infected plants which remain alive only show symptoms of infection in the root system. The infection of roots by <i>H. sorokinianum</i> in older plants is detromental to growth and causes a decrease in the vield obtained from bean plants.
