Abstract excerpt
Nepalese common bean landraces constitute valuable yet underexplored genetic reservoirs for crop improvement. However, integrated morphological and molecular characterization of this germplasm remains limited. This experiment was conducted at 2023 and 2024 to evaluate the morphological and molecular traits of 58 Nepalese common bean landraces collected from 21 districts of the Nepal via an augmented block design....
