Abstract excerpt
Reduction in pod shattering represents a key component of the domestication syndrome in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and makes this domesticate dependent upon the farmer for seed dispersal. Attempts to elucidate the genetic control of this process have led to the identification of a major gene (St) linked to the presence/absence of pod suture fibers affecting pod shattering. Although St has been placed on the...
