Genome-Wide Association Study and Genomic Prediction of Fusarium Wilt Resistance in Common Bean Core Collection Open
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a globally cultivated leguminous crop. Fusarium wilt (FW), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop), is a significant disease leading to substantial yield loss in common beans. Disease-r…
Genetic variation in a tepary bean ( <i>Phaseolus acutifolius</i> A. Gray) diversity panel reveals loci associated with biotic stress resistance Open
Tepary bean ( Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray), indigenous to the arid climates of northern Mexico and the Southwest United States, diverged from common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), approximately 2 million years ago and exhibits a wide ran…
Dry Bean: A Protein-Rich Superfood With Carbohydrate Characteristics That Can Close the Dietary Fiber Gap Open
Consumer food choices are often focused on protein intake, but the chosen sources are frequently either animal-based protein that has high fat content or plant-based protein that is low in other nutrients. In either case, these protein sou…

Genome-Wide Association Study and Genomic Prediction for Bacterial Wilt Resistance in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Core Collection Open
Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) is one of the major legume crops cultivated worldwide. Bacterial wilt (BW) of common bean ( Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens ), being a seed-borne disease, has been a challenge in common b…

Genotype by Location Effects on Yield and Seed Nutrient Composition of Common Bean Open
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important staple food crop in households worldwide. Genotype and location influence phenotypic nutrient composition. However, there are limited data on the magnitude of this variation for common be…
Improving the Health Benefits of Snap Bean: Genome-Wide Association Studies of Total Phenolic Content Open
Snap beans are a significant source of micronutrients in the human diet. Among the micronutrients present in snap beans are phenolic compounds with known beneficial effects on human health, potentially via their metabolism by the gut-assoc…
Common bean varieties demonstrate differential physiological and metabolic responses to the pathogenic fungus<i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> Open
Plant physiology and metabolism are important components of a plant response to microbial pathogens. Physiological resistance of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has been established, but …
Genetic Architecture of Dietary Fiber and Oligosaccharide Content in a Middle American Panel of Edible Dry Bean Open
Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most consumed edible grain legume worldwide and contains a wide range of nutrients for human health including dietary fiber. Diets high in beans are associated with lower rates of chronic disease…
Beneficial Effects of Common Bean on Adiposity and Lipid Metabolism Open
In developed countries which are at the epicenter of the obesity pandemic, pulse crop consumption is well below recommended levels. In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 randomized controlled clinical trials, pulse consumpt…

YIELD GAINS IN DRY BEANS IN THE U.S. Open
INTRODUCTION Yield Gains can be estimated by comparing On-Farm yields vs. Potential yield (a.k.a., realized yield) or measured in common trials. The difference between On-Farm yield and Potential yield is known as the Yield Gap. Plant bree…
Dietary Fiber Analysis of Four Pulses Using AOAC 2011.25: Implications for Human Health Open
Chickpeas, common beans, dry peas, and lentils are pulse crops that have been a cornerstone of the human diet since the inception of agriculture. However, the displacement of pulses from the diet by low fiber protein alternatives has resul…
Genome‐Wide Association Study Identifies Candidate Loci Underlying Agronomic Traits in a Middle American Diversity Panel of Common Bean Open
Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding programs aim to improve both agronomic and seed characteristics traits. However, the genetic architecture of the many traits that affect common bean production are not completely understood. Ge…
Total Phenolic Content and Associated Phenotypic Traits in a Diverse Collection of Snap Bean Cultivars Open
Phytochemicals such as phenolic compounds in snap bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) have potential human health benefits. The objectives of this research were to determine the variation in total phenolic content (TPC) measured as gallic acid equ…
