(Germar) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a major pest of common bean ( L.; Fabales: Fabaceae), and adults can defoliate plants during the whole crop cycle. This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance to in 16 common bean genotypes (14 landraces and 2 cultivars), through three different experiments. In the laboratory, choice and no-choice feeding tests were performed to evaluate the percentage of leaf consumption. In the greenhouse, plant height, numbers of leaves, percentage of injured leaves, percentage of injury per leaf, weight of seeds, and survival were evaluated. Furthermore, trichome density, levels of peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and protein content in common bean leaves were assessed. In the laboratory, the genotypes Chumbinho Branco, Dobalde, Manteigado, IPR Tuiuiú, and 90D Mouro were the least consumed by . In the greenhouse, the genotypes Dobalde, Manteigado, and IPR Tuiuiú expressed tolerance to the pest, which was associated with a higher plant height and/or unchanged POD and SOD levels and protein content following insect feeding, and no reduction in seed production. The landrace 90D Mouro exhibited antixenosis and tolerance to , observed as a lower leaf injury, higher trichome density, lower protein contents, higher SOD level and no reduction in seed weight. Overall, we have shown that antixenosis and tolerance can help overcome damages resulting from feeding, with emphasis on four common bean genotypes that may be useful in plant breeding programs aimed at controlling in common bean crops.

The beta-rhizobial strain Paraburkholderia phymatum STM815 is noteworthy for its wide host range in nodulating legumes, primarily mimosoids (over 50 different species) but also some papilionoids. It cannot, however, nodulate soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.

The traditional machine learning methods such as decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) have low classification performance. This paper proposes an algorithm for the dry bean dataset and obesity levels dataset that can balance the minority class and the majority class and has a clustering function to improve the traditional machine learning classification accuracy and various performance indicators such as precision, recall, f1-score, and area under curve (AUC) for imbalanced data. The key idea is to use the advantages of borderline-synthetic minority oversampling technique (BLSMOTE) to generate new samples using samples on the boundary of minority class samples to reduce the impact of noise on model building, and the advantages of K-means clustering to divide data into different groups according to similarities or common features.

β-lactams have been the most successful antibiotics, but the rise of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria threatens their effectiveness. Serine β-lactamases (SBLs), among the most common causes of resistance, are classified as A, C, and D, with numerous variants complicating structural and substrate spectrum comparisons. This study compares representative SBLs of these classes, focusing on the substrate-binding pocket (SBP).

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a natural tetramer comprising PHA-E and PHA-L subunits that preferentially bind to red and white blood cells, respectively, constitutes a significant antinutritional and allergenic factor in common bean seeds. The accurate measurement of PHA content is a prerequisite for ensuring food safety inspections and facilitating genetic improvements in common bean cultivars with reduced PHA levels. Currently, mainstream methods for PHA quantification involve hemagglutination assays and immunodetection, but these methods often require fresh animal blood and lack specificity and accuracy.

There is an enormous demand to develop new sources of proteins, mainly to supply the growing plant-based food market worldwide, with the push for more sustainable and healthier products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the composition and the nutritional properties of commercial soybean, pea, and fava bean protein ingredients and compare them with an in-house ingredient (flour and protein concentrate), obtained from the main Brazilian cultivar of common bean (, Pinto bean). The protein content of the common bean concentrate (79.
