Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Rapid genetic gain was achieved for cooking time in common bean based on multivariate genomic analysis, but forward predictive ability was low and phenotyping remains essential to secure genetic gain. Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a major source of protein and energy in sub-Saharan Africa, but their long cooking time (CKT) imposes social, economic, environmental and health burdens. This...
