QTL analyses for tolerance to abiotic stresses in a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) population
This study seeks to understand the genetics of stress tolerance, and to improve adaptation of common bean to adverse environments, by evaluating 95 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) under different abiotic stress conditions in 15 trials across four locations in Colombia.
