Exploring genetic resources through genomic analyses has emerged as a powerful strategy to develop common bean ( L.) cultivars that are both productive and well-adapted to various environments. This study aimed to identify genomic regions linked to morpho-agronomic traits in Mesoamerican and Andean common bean accessions and to elucidate the proteins potentially involved in these traits.

The California Dark Red Kidney (CDRK) bean cultivar is known for its resistance to multiple races of both pathogens. Previous studies have identified the resistance loci on chromosome Pv01.

However, there aren't specific recommendations for the use of inoculation in baby corn crop. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of seed inoculation with , associated with nitrogen fertilization management, on the agronomic performance and chemical quality of baby corn grown in three summer growing seasons (2014/2015; 2015/2016 and 2016/2017).

The present study attempted to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and identify molecular markers that are linked to drought tolerance in the common bean. We evaluated 160 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), derived from the cross between the carioca cultivars IAPAR 81 (drought tolerant) and LP97-28 (susceptible to drought).

Eighteen genotypes were evaluated in four seasons using a randomized block design with four replications. The mean weight of 100 seeds, in three experiments, and the mean number of pods per plant, in one experiment, were the most important characteristics for the genetic divergence, representing more than 46% of the total variation in the first canonic variable.
