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.
Haplotypes at the Phg-2 Locus Are Determining Pathotype-Specificity of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean
This article reports on ALS resistance evaluations of 316 bean lines under greenhouse and field conditions at multiple sites in Colombia and Uganda.
Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction (GGE) biplot analysis of large white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes across environments in Ethiopia
This article presents the results of a study on the effect of Genotype × Environment Interaction (GEI) and evaluates the adaptability and stability of 16 large white common bean genotypes.
Role of fixing nitrogen in common bean growth under water deficit conditions
This article describes a study that measured adaptive traits in N‐fixing bean lines and non-nodulating lines to explore the association of nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation with the expression of traits that confer better adaptation to drought conditions.
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.
Diallel Analysis of Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) Disease Resistance in Groundnut
This article describes a study conducted on diallel populations from six parents to assess the mode of inheritance of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance traits.
Mitigating Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut through a Combination of Genetic Resistance and Post-Harvest Management Practices
This article provides an overview on the complex molecular regulatory events associated with aflatoxin resistance mechanisms in groundnut.
A recipe for success? Learning from the rapid adoption of improved chickpea varieties in Ethiopia
A study of the remarkably fast spread of improved chickpea varieties in Ethiopia, where adoption rose from 30% to 80% within seven years. It details how an attractive technology suitable for rural households in a conducive environment enabled adoption.
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.
