Rangarajan et al. employ the functional–structural model SimRoot to explore how interactions among architectural phenes in common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris (Fabaceae) determine the acquisition of phosphate and nitrate...
Studying the relationships between major crops and the secondary genepools of related species that are more resistant to climate challenges, Mina-Vargas et al. employ nuclear and chloroplast genetic markers to carry out...
A study of common bean genotypes, with variable degrees of N2-fixation tolerance to water stress, finds variable accumulation of ureides in their leaves.
BRWN is associated with increased phosphorus acquisition and this may have value for selection of genotypes with better performance in low-phosphorus soils.
One of the traits that appeared during domestication of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is determinacy, in which stems end with a terminal inflorescence. Kwak et al. examine sequence variation in PvTFL1y, the gene that...
