Abstract excerpt
Seed coat color and patterning are key quality traits in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) that define market classes and strongly influence consumer preference and market value. These traits are controlled by a complex network of major genes (sometimes with epistatic interactions), which complicates the recovery of desired market class phenotypes following inter-market class hybridization. Although many of the...
