Beans ExCo
CIAT and partners have worked for over 40 years to improve bean varieties and farming practices in Latin America and Africa. New varieties have higher iron and zinc content. Beans provide a low-cost protein alternative to meat and help smallholder farmers, especially women. The estimated economic value of new varieties and practices in five African countries from 1986-2015 was $198 million. However, challenges remain in reaching more farmers, balancing food security and markets, and developing varieties resilient to climate change and new pests.
Purification of Urease from Sword Bean for Clinical Use
The document describes the purification of urease from sword bean for potential clinical use. Several issues were encountered with a previous purification method using an affinity matrix. The current study aimed to develop a simpler and lower cost purification process using solvent extraction followed by isoelectric focusing. Various parameters of the extraction process were optimized to address issues like inhibitor presence, activity loss, pH, and microbial growth. The purified urease was shown to retain activity and was stable for several weeks. It was used to prepare a low-cost urea test kit that demonstrated stability of results for over a month.

Graphic Narrative
Vladimir Propp analyzed 100 Russian folk tales and identified common narrative components, which he organized into a theory. He identified 8 character types that frequently appear: the villain, helper, princess/prize, father, donor, hero, false hero, and dispatcher. Propp's analysis found that tales share a common structure involving an equilibrium that is disrupted, a hero's journey to restore equilibrium, and a new conclusion/equilibrium. His work established structuralism in folklore and narrative studies.

Jack and the beanstalk
Jack and his mother were poor, so Jack took their cow to market to sell it. On the way, Jack met an old man who offered magic beans in exchange for the cow. Jack's mother threw the beans out the window, but overnight a beanstalk grew into the clouds. Jack climbed it and discovered a castle belonging to a giant. He stole a hen that laid golden eggs and escaped down the beanstalk. Jack returned and stole a harp that could play by itself. As the giant chased Jack, his mother cut down the beanstalk, causing the giant to fall to his death. Jack and his mother then lived happily and wealthy.
To Build A Fire
A man is travelling alone through the Yukon territory to meet up with some friends at their camp. It is extremely cold, around 75 degrees below zero. As he walks, he breaks through the snow into hidden pools of water twice, soaking his legs each time. This forces him to stop and build fires to dry out his clothes. The deep cold and his wet legs threaten to slow him down and prevent him from reaching his friends before nightfall.

They also help prevent hunger and are inexpensive sources of plant-based protein. The document recommends incorporating legumes into meals and smoothies to take advantage of their nutritional properties.
Legumes crops
This lecture discusses legumes, including their importance as a source of protein and nitrogen fixation. Key points covered include:

Pigeon pea (Cjanus cajon)
Pigeon pea is a legume crop originating from Africa. It is classified into two varieties - Cajanus indicus var.bicolor, which is a late maturing variety with tall bushes, and Cajanus indicus var.flavus, an early maturing variety with small plants. Pigeon pea has a taproot system and trifoliate compound leaves. The pods are 5-10 cm long and contain 4-5 seeds. It grows best in warm tropical and subtropical climates with moist, warm conditions during vegetation and sunny weather during flowering. Pigeon pea can be grown on a wide range of well-drained, loamy soils and is highly susceptible to frost.
Pigeon pea
Pigeon pea is an important crop that originated in India. It is grown for its edible seeds which are high in protein, and its leaves, shoots and fodder which are used for animal feed. The major growing regions are India, East Africa, and the Caribbean. Pigeon pea has a taproot system and trifoliate leaves. Its flowers form in axillary racemes and are self-pollinated. The pods contain 2-5 seeds that vary in size, shape and color. Traditional self-pollination and cross-pollination techniques involve emasculating flowers and manually transferring pollen.

Climatic needs, ideal soil type, and harvesting procedures are also outlined.
Production technology of French bean
French bean, also known as kidney bean or snap bean, is a popular dietary food that is rich in nutrients. It is cultivated in several states in India, with major growing regions being Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and West Bengal. There are four cultivated species of French bean, with the most common being Phaseolus vulgaris. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures between 15-25°C and rainfall of 600-1500 mm annually. Seeds are treated before sowing and manure, fertilizers, and pest/disease management practices are followed for good crop growth and yield. Regular harvesting of young pods ensures continued flowering and yield of 80-140 q/ha
