The hyacinth bean is an old domesticated pulse and multi-purpose crop. [37] [38] [39] L. purpureus has been cultivated in India as early as 2500 BC. [40] Due to seed availability of one forage cultivar (cv. Rongai), it is often grown as forage for livestock [41] and as an ornamental plant. [42]

Field bean is a general term for several plants found growing within fields or shrubbery and may refer to: Lablab purpureus (the hyacinth bean) Phaseolus vulgaris (the string bean)
Experiments on Plant Hybridization" (German: Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden) is a seminal paper written in 1865 and published in 1866 [1] [2] by Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian friar considered to be the founder of modern genetics. The paper was the result after years spent studying genetic traits in Pisum sativum, the pea plant.
It is a measure of germination time course and is usually expressed as a percentage, e.g., an 85% germination rate indicates that about 85 out of 100 seeds will probably germinate under proper conditions over the germination period given. Seed germination rate is determined by the seed genetic composition, morphological features and ...
Then the bottles were buried, their necks pointing down to exclude water. The goal of the experiment was to unearth one of the bottles every five years, plant the seeds, and observe the number that would sprout. Later caretakers extended the experiment by opening a bottle once every decade, and later, every two decades.
In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule does not occur until the cotyledons have grown above ground. This is epigeal germination. However, in seeds such as the broad bean, a leaf structure is visible on the plumule in the seed. These seeds develop by ...
