Prebreeding in Common Bean and Use of Genetic Diversity from Wild Germplasm
2007-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most widely consumed grain legume in the world. This cultigen was domesticated from wild P. vulgaris, an indeterminate viny plant, distributed from Mexico to Argentina in midaltitude neotropical and subtropical regions. To colonize such diverse ecological niches, the species possesses many adaptation traits and a wealth of genetic diversity. However, breeding programs are...
