Despite the morphological diversity observed in the Andean intra-gene pool, the low genetic polymorphism existing in this common bean germplasm hinders the development of genetic linkage maps [ 31, 33, 51, 52].
The present work provides useful information in the establishment of large seed size germplasm that could have a great deal of interest among breeders and may offer some possibilities to exploit existing variation within and between common bean races.
Combined with existing transcriptomic and genomic sequences available for common bean, this dataset will be very useful for functional genomics research in common bean.
Virus diseases of common bean have been extensively studied both by breeders to identify natural resistance genes in existing germplasms and by pathologists to understand the molecular bases of plant-virus interactions.
Mexico is the cradle of the common bean.
Besides, it depends on common bean genotypes.
The seeds of common bean var.
Bean fly is a significant pest of common bean in semi-arid areas of East Africa.
Golden mosaic of common bean is caused by the Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV).
