Common bean is an important legume crop having high quality protein, micronutrients,
vitamins and antioxidants, which makes it a “grain of hope” for poor communities. Hence, a …

The role of genetic diversity is crucial for future improvements to meet societal demand for
food security under a climate change scenario. From this perspective, it is thus crucial to …

We have studied the nucleotide diversity of common bean, P haseolus vulgaris, which is
characterized by two independent domestications in two geographically distinct areas …

Essential oils (EO) of several plant species have the potential to combat plant and fungal
diseases. However, the effects of Achillea millefolium EO on the development of common …

Background Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most
important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene …

Abstract A total of 992,682 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was identified as ideal
for Illumina Infinium II BeadChip design after sequencing a diverse set of 17 common bean …

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have become a genetic technology of
choice because of their automation and high precision of allele calls. In this study, our goal …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a class of multifunctional enzymatic antioxidants that
play a significant role in several aspects of plant physiology, including growth, development …

The presence of seed color in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) requires the dominant‐
acting P (pigment) gene, and white seed is a recessive phenotype in all domesticated races …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been isolated from legume nodules,
displaying a potential to enhance nodulation, growth and yield of legume plants when co …
