[Variation in fruit and seed size from 38 wild populations of Phaseolus lunatus (Fabaceae) from Central Valley, Costa Rica].

Abstract excerpt

We studied the morfological diversity in fruits and seeds in 38 wild populations of Phaseolus lunatus var. lunatus (lima beans) in the central valley of Costa Rica. In order to do so, measured the length and width of the fruits and the length, width and thickness of seeds. We also calculated the ratio between these traits and determined the weight of 100 seeds. In general, we found significant variation between...
