Genome-Wide Linkage and Association Mapping of Halo Blight Resistance in Common Bean to Race 6 of the Globally Important Bacterial Pathogen.

pv. () Race 6 is a globally prevalent and broadly virulent bacterial pathogen with devastating impact causing halo blight of common bean ( L.).

Meta-QTL for resistance to white mold in common bean.

White mold, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is a major disease that limits common bean production and quality worldwide. The host-pathogen interaction is complex, with partial resistance in the host inherited as a quantitative trait with low to moderate heritability.

Genetic dissection of Al tolerance QTLs in the maize genome by high density SNP scan.

Background: Aluminum (Al) toxicity is an important limitation to food security in tropical and subtropical regions. High Al saturation on acid soils limits root development, reducing water and nutrient uptake. In addition to naturally occurring acid soils, agricultural practices may decrease soil pH, leading to yield losses due to Al toxicity.
