Background
Gender-related constraints reflect gender inequalities in access to resources and development opportunities. Access to productive assets is a major issue in the gender empowerment discourse. Despite the significant roles women play in agriculture and food security in many developing c...

Drought Resistance of Common Bean Water Spending and Water: Saving Plant Ideotypes
This initiative was aimed at demonstrating that the public‐private partnerships in the bean seed value chain can make a difference to avail bean seed of improved varieties to farmers. The common beans is an import food crop covering an estimated area of 260,000 ha in Malawi in 2010. However the r...
The common bean is a tropical facultative short day legume that is now grown in tropical and temperate zones. This observation underscores how domestication and modern breeding can change the adaptive phenology of a species. A key adaptive trait is the optimal timing of the transition from the ve...

A Predictive Model for Time-to-Flowering in the Common Bean Based on QTL and Environmental Variables
Angular leaf spot (ALS) is one of the most devastating diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and causes serious yield losses worldwide. ALS resistance is reportedly pathotype-specific, but little is known about the efficacy of resistance loci against different pathotypes. Here, we repor...

Haplotypes at the Phg-2 Locus Are Determining Pathotype-Specificity of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean
Crop yield requires leaf area to intercept solar radiation and to undertake photosynthesis, both of which depend on nitrogen (N) accumulation. Further, the amount of accumulated plant N at the beginning of seed fill serves as the reservoir for N required in synthesizing the proteins in developing...

Multi local trials were carried out during the 2014-2015 cropping season simultaneously in three sites: Kasenga, Katanga and Fungurume located in the provinces of Upper Katanga and Lualaba. Five genotypes of bio-fortified climbing common bean: NUC 479, CWARENTINO, NAMULENGA, M 211, CODMLV059 were...

As part of the management of weeds common bean crop (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), a study of the effects of two methods of weed control on grain yield of 3 varieties of common bean was conducted at the research station INERA Kipopo. The experimental design was a split-plot design with 3 replications a...

Among Plant Genetic Resources for Agriculture, landraces are excellent genetic materials for developing new varieties. Due to their genetic diversity, these populations have maintained potentially useful alleles for increasing valuable traits in crops. A diet mostly relying on pulses as source of...
