Scott Jackson, Jeremy Schmutz, Phillip McClean and colleagues report the genome sequence of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) resequenced wild individuals landraces from Mesoamerican Andean gene pools, showing that underwent two independent domestications. Common vulgaris L.) is most important grain legume for human consumption has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability fix atmospheric nitrogen. We assembled 473 Mb 587-Mb genetically anchored 98% this 11 chromosome-scale...
Abstract The importance of legumes in sustainable cropping systems has been studied extensively. Among legumes, common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a rich world resource biodiversity with two centers domestication (Andes and Central America) over 10 major market classes cultivated globally. Common recognized as nutrient‐dense, healthy food source due to their high protein, dietary fiber, minerals content also being resistant slowly digestible starch, which elicits lower glycemic...
A total of 992,682 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was identified as ideal for Illumina Infinium II BeadChip design after sequencing a diverse set 17 common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) varieties with the aid next-generation technology. From these, two BeadChips each >5000 SNPs were designed. The BARCBean6K_1 selected purpose optimizing polymorphism among market classes and, when possible, targeted to sequence scaffolds in Phaseolus 14× genome assembly lengths >10 kb. BARCBean6K_2...
Common bean ( L.) breeding programs aim to improve both agronomic and seed characteristics traits. However, the genetic architecture of many traits that affect common production are not completely understood. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an experimental approach identify genomic regions where important candidate genes located. A panel 280 modern genotypes from race Mesoamerica, referred as Middle American Diversity Panel (MDP), were grown in four US locations, a GWAS using...
Next generation sequence data provides valuable information and tools for genetic genomic research offers new insights useful marker development. This is the design of accurate user-friendly molecular tools. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) a diverse crop in which separate domestication events happened each gene pool followed by race market class diversification that has resulted different morphological characteristics commercial class. led to essentially independent breeding programs...
Abstract Background Physical seed dormancy is an important trait in legume domestication. Although beneficial wild ecosystems, it generally considered to be undesirable crops due reduction yield and / or quality. The physiological mechanism underlying genetic factor(s) of largely unknown several species. Here we employed integrative approach understand the mechanisms controlling physical common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Results Using innovative CT scan imaging system, were able track...
Climate change models predict temporal and spatial shifts in precipitation resulting more frequent incidents of flooding, particularly regions with poor soil drainage. In these flooding conditions, crop losses are inevitable due to exposure plants hypoxia the spread root rot diseases. Improving tolerance bean cultivars is crucial minimize losses. this experiment, we evaluated phenotypic responses 277 genotypes from Andean Diversity Panel at germination seedling stages. A randomized complete...
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) reproduces on the roots of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and can cause reductions in plant growth seed yield. The molecular changes caused by SCN infection are unknown. Identification genetic factors associated with resistance could help development improved varieties high resistance. Gene expression profiling was conducted infected HG type 0 using next generation RNA sequencing technology. Two pinto genotypes, PI533561 GTS-900,...
Rhizoctonia solani Kühn (teleomorph Thanatephorus cucumeris) is an important root rot pathogen of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). To uncover genetic factors associated with resistance to the pathogen, Andean (ADP; n = 273) and Middle American (MDP; 279) diversity panels, which represent much known in cultivated bean, were screened greenhouse using R. anastomosis group 2-2. Repeatability assay was confirmed by response five control genotypes. The phenotypic data for both panels normally...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy ridge regression best linear unbiased prediction model across different traits, parent population sizes, and breeding strategies when estimating values in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Genomic selection implemented make selections within a cycle compared five (single seed descent, mass selection, pedigree method, modified bulk breeding) following 10 cycles. trained on simulated recombinant inbreds genotyped for 1010 single nucleotide...
Abstract The Middle American rust resistance gene Ur-11 present in common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) confers to all but one known race of the pathogen Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger. Even though progress has been made understanding host–pathogen interactions between and U. , causal alleles majority loci, including Ur-11, remain unknown. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted identify genomic regions associated with 31–22, which is avirulent virulent other genes. GWAS...
Abstract ‘ND Rosalind’ (Reg. no. CV‐364, PI 705585) is a new pink bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar developed by the Dry Edible Bean Breeding Program at North Dakota State University and released Agricultural Experiment Station. ND Rosalind was using modified pedigree breeding method to F 4:5 generation followed pure line selection for disease, agronomic, quality traits. Between 2017 2023, tested across more than 11 environments in Dakota, where seed yield significantly higher other...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important source of dietary protein and minerals worldwide. Genes conditioning variability for mineral contents are not clearly understood. Our ultimate goal to identify genes genetic variation Zn Fe content. To establish mapping populations this objective, we tested content 29 common genotypes. Chemical analyses revealed significant seed among the Genetic diversity was evaluated with 49 primer pairs, which 23 were simple sequence repeats (SSR), 16...
Flooding is a devastating abiotic stress that endangers crop production in the 21th century. Because of severe susceptibility common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to flooding, an understanding genetic architecture and physiological responses this will set stage for further improvement. However, challenging phenotyping methods hinder large-scale study flooding tolerance other economically important crops. A greenhouse protocol was developed evaluate conditions at early stages. The...
An ideotype breeding strategy to improve an economically important trait is achievable if subcomponent phenotypes most associated with the are targeted for selection. The success of this in modern history can be highlighted dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), where enhancement production was facilitated last 25 yr by replacing Type III prostrate growth habit II upright habit. This leads disease avoidance and enables cost‐effective management practices. To better understand trajectory bean,...
Dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds are a major protein, carbohydrate, and mineral source in the human diet of peoples multiple regions world. Seed biofortification is an ongoing objective to improve this important food source. The research was assess seed concentration five macroelements eight microelements large panel n = 277) modern race Durango Mesoamerica genotypes determine if variability existed that could be exploited for targeted biofortification. Varieties derive from these...
Multienvironment trials (METs) are widely used to assess the performance of promising crop germplasm. Though seldom designed elucidate genetic mechanisms, MET data sets often much larger than could be duplicated for research and, given proper interpretation, may offer valuable insights into genetics adaptation across time and space. The Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery (CDBN) is a common bean (
