Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) is one of the most economically important members of the Fabaceae family and a crop of high nutritional value. Seed and leaf morphological traits are key determinants of yield, shaped by genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we characterized a diversity panel of 434 P. vulgaris accessions for morphological and colorimetric traits. Using genome-wide association studies...
