Abstract excerpt
Common bean (P. vulgaris) and lima bean (P. lunatus) are the most important crop species from the genus Phaseolus. Both species have the same chromosome number (2n = 22) and previous cytogenetic mapping of BAC clones suggested conserved synteny. Nevertheless, karyotype differences were observed, suggesting structural rearrangements. In this study, comparative cytogenetic maps for chromosomes 3, 4 and 7 were built...
