This chapter reviews limitations of the classical genetic analysis of resistance based on
allelism tests and the current state of knowledge about resistance to anthracnose in common …

Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.), one of the five domesticated Phaseolus bean crops,
shows a wide range of ecological adaptations along its distribution range from Mexico to …

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important and versatile commodity,
comprising both dry beans and green (snap) beans. It is grown in almost all parts of the …

Together with the knowledge of the population structure, a critical aspect for the planning of
association and/or population genomics studies is the level of linkage disequilibrium (LD) …

The Andean common bean AND 277 has the Co-1 4 and the Phg-1 alleles that confer
resistance to 21 and eight races, respectively, of the anthracnose (ANT) and angular leaf …

Molecular linkage maps are an important tool for gene discovery and cloning, crop
improvement, further genetic studies, studies on diversity and evolutionary history, and cross …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is broadly adapted to environments with moderate
growing temperatures, about 400 mm of precipitation and a growing season of 60–120 days …

A cytogenetic map of common bean was built by in situ hybridization of 35 bacterial artificial
chromosomes (BACs) selected with markers mapping to eight linkage groups, plus two …

Microsatellites and gene-derived markers are still underrepresented in the core molecular
linkage map of common bean compared to other types of markers. In order to increase the …

Anthracnose (ANT) and angular leaf spot (ALS) are devastating diseases of common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Ouro Negro is a highly productive common bean cultivar, which …
