Common bean breeding for resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses: From classical to MAS breeding (2006, background): “AND 277 and the derived line CAL 143 represent an important breakthrough as the first Andean beans with useful levels of resistance to angular leaf spot (Aggarwal et al., 2004).”
A Phaseolus vulgaris Diversity Panel for Andean Bean Improvement (2015, background): “Some of the major Andean bean breeding successes in Africa include resistance to angular leaf spot (ALS) (caused by Pseudocercospora griseola), rust resistance, increased seed micronutrient concentrations, and tolerance to low soil fertility (Aggarwal et al., 2004; Beebe 2012; Blair et al., 2010; Li”
QTL Analysis of Seed Iron, Zinc, and Phosphorus Levels in an Andean Bean Population (2009, methodology): “…used in this study were both of the Andean gene pool, which makes the fi ndings especially important because Andean beans are extensively grown in southern and eastern Africa, in locations where people consuming the beans are especially at risk for micronutrient defi ciency (Aggarwal et al., 2004).”
