Root hair length evaluated
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Root adaptations to soils with low fertility and aluminium toxicity
Background Plants depend on their root systems to acquire the water and nutrients necessary for their survival in nature, and for their yield and nutritional quality in agriculture. Root systems are complex and a variety ...

Developing new bean products in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda through private sector collaborations
One of the initiatives targeted “dry” precooked beans and the other “wet” precooked beans. The “dry” precooked bean is dehydrated after processing but retains the main character of the dry beans (colour, storage under ...
Common Bean Flagship Proposal Final Version
Strategic and applied research to meet the demand of beans in Africa and Latin America: A Common Bean Flagship proposal.
Gene introgression in grain legumes
The wild species of grain legumes are valuable gene pools, particularly for resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. These have largely remained under-utilized due to crossability barriers, but there are some examples ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance ...
Priority regions for research on dryland cereals and legumes
Dryland cereals and legumes are important crops in farming systems across the world. Yet they are frequently neglected among the priorities for international agricultural research and development, often due to lack of ...
Physiological traits associated with drought resistance in Andean and Mesoamerican genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption, and drought stress affects over 60% of dry bean production worldwide. Field and rainout shelter studies were conducted at the ...
