An empirical evaluation of simulated gastrointestinal digestion platforms for use in plant breeding, using common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) as a model

This study evaluates simulated digestion models to assess bioaccessible nutrient levels in common bean, finding dynamic models outperform static ones in predicting nutrient release.

QTL Mapping for Pod Quality and Yield Traits in Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

This study identifies QTL for pod quality and yield traits in snap bean using a RIL population, finding 44 QTL across chromosomes with some novel and overlapping with previous studies.

Inbreeding depression leads to reduced fitness in declining populations of wild maize

The study shows that inbreeding depression reduces fitness in wild maize populations, with larger, less disturbed populations showing higher genetic diversity and better fitness traits.

Sequence characterization of T, Bip, and Phbw demonstrates the role of MYB-bHLH-WD40 complexes and temperature in common bean seed color pattern formation

This study identifies mutations in MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex genes and shows temperature affects seed color patterns in common bean.

Loss of pod strings in common bean is associated with gene duplication, retrotransposon insertion, and overexpression of PvIND

The paper identifies structural changes at the PvIND locus, including gene duplication and retrotransposon insertion, as drivers of pod string loss in common bean.

Signatures of Environmental Adaptation During Range Expansion of Wild Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

This study uses landscape genomics to identify genes associated with environmental adaptation in wild common bean across its geographic range.

Genetic control of pod dehiscence in domesticatedcommon bean: Associations with range expansionand local aridity conditions

The paper identifies genetic regions controlling pod dehiscence in common bean, linking a specific mutation to reduced dehiscence and adaptation to arid environments.
