To satisfy farmer and consumer preferences, breeding efforts to increase yield potential in common bean must take into account the interrelated effects of growth habit, seed size, maturity, and gene pool on yield expression in segregating populations. To examine the relationships among these trai...

The genetics of resistance to bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) was studied in an 8×8 complete diallel cross of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. The 28F1 hybrids, their reciprocals, and eight parents were artificially inoculated with BGMV under glasshouse conditions. Data were recorded and analyz...

Bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris check for this species in other resources L.) production in Africa is constrained by edaphic stresses. A pan-African effort, Bean Improvement for Low Fertility in Africa (BILFA), was initiated in 1990 to screen beans for tolerance to several edaphic stresses. In the fir...

Although cassava is a major food crop, its scientific breeding began only recently compared with other crops. Significant progress has been achieved, particularly in Asia where cassava is used mainly for industrial processes and no major biotic constraints affect its productivity. Cassava breedin...

Hybridization of synthetic allotetraploids of S. pinnatisectum with S. etuberosum (4x-EP) with S. acaule (2n = 4x = 48) resulted in two individuals that were highly fertile, in contrast to all other progenies. The unique individuals are hexaploids, 2n = 72, while the other progenies are tetraploi...

Tropical soils are particularly vulnerable to fertility losses due to their low capacity to retain organic matter and mineral nutrients. This urges the development of new agricultural practices to manage mineral nutrients and organic matter in a more sustainable way while relying less on fertiliz...

To assure proper evaluation of all materials to be distributed internationally, the CIAT Bean Program designed a sequential process of germplasm evaluation and distribution known as the VEF-EP-IBYAN scheme. VEF (for the Spanish acronym of Bean Team Nursery) was an observational nursery; EP (Spani...

In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most performing practice, this should be accompanied by other measures. The use of genetically enhanced plants with impro...
