Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for intermittent drought tolerance in BRB 191 × SEQ 1027 Andean Intragene cross recombinant inbred line population of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
This article presents the results of a study to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying drought tolerance in common bean.
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.
Market-led options to scale up legume seeds in developing countries: Experiences from the Tropical Legumes Project
A report of experiences in developing seed delivery under the Tropical Legumes projects, which fostered public–private joint testing of market‐led seed systems, skills and knowledge enhancement, and de‐risking of private sector initiatives.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers
A review of a decade of significant research and development work on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of common bean in Africa: A review of tropical legume project
A review of work by CIAT and its national partners in Africa to overcome production constraints of common bean and address food and nutrition needs and market demands through development of multitrait bean varieties.
Prevalence and incidence of four common bean root rots in Uganda
This study attempts to ascertain the current prevalence and incidence of common bean root rot diseases in Ugandan common bean agroecologies.
Agronomic qualities of genetic pyramids of common bean developed for multiple-disease-resistance
This study assesses the agronomic qualities of advanced genetic pyramids developed from a four-way cross for multiple disease resistance in common bean.
