This study identifies adaptive gene loss in common bean populations during range expansion and domestication, showing gene loss as a key adaptive trait.

The paper traces the evolutionary history of European common beans, showing Andean origins and adaptive introgression shaping their genomic diversity.

The paper identifies PvMYB26 as a candidate gene for pod indehiscence in common bean, linking its fine regulation to the absence of a functional abscission layer.
