Analyses of African common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm using a SNP fingerprinting platform: diversity, quality control and molecular breeding
This article describes a new SNP genotyping platform that has been set up that allows breeders without their own genotyping infrastructure to outsource such services to improve the efficiency and quality of seed handling activities, breeding, and seed dissemination through molecular tools.
Iron and zinc grain concentrations diversity and agronomic performance of common bean germplasm collected from East Africa
This study evaluated 304 common bean lines sourced from the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and its partners through the Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) for agronomic traits, disease response, yield, FESEED, and ZNSEED.
