Races of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, Fabaceae)
Total seed protein variability in a sample of 163 entries of year-bean (Phaseolus polyanthus), including wild, feral and cultivated forms of the whole range of distribution in Latin America was studied using 1-dimensional SDS/PAGE and 2-dimensional IEF-SDS/PAGE. Ten different patterns were observ...

Observations on the domestication of Phaseolus lunatus L
Some historical aspects and 2 possible reasons for the domestication of Phaseolus vulgaris and P. lunatus are considered, namely, that (1) bean domestication occurred at least 8000 yr ago in the southern Peruvian Andes, as a food plant, or that (2) beans were domesticated for different reasons an...
