Identification of common bean genotypes with dual leaf and pod resistance to common bacterial blight disease in Uganda
This study seeks to identify common bean lines with combined leaf and pod resistance to Common Bacterial Blight (CBB) for introgression into locally adapted but susceptible Ugandan genotypes.
A Simple and Efficient Method for Extracting S. Rolfsii DNA For PCR Based Diversity Studies
This study describes a protocol for extracting high quality DNA from common bean using a DNA extraction buffer that contains sodium dodecyl sulphate and proteinase K to inactivate proteins and high salt concentration to precipitate the exopolysaccharides.
