• Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Drought Tolerance in Common Bean (2014, background): “However, in these parts of the world, common bean is grown by small farmers and is generally cultivated on marginal lands prone to abiotic and biotic stresses (Beebe, 2012).”
• 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”
• A review of breeding objectives, genomic resources, and marker-assisted methods in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (2019, background): “Sources of drought resistance have been found in the Durango race and in tepary bean (Beebe 2012; Rao et al. 2013; Asfaw and Blair 2014; Mukeshimana et al. 2014).”
• CAN TEPARY BEAN BE A MODEL FOR IMPROVEMENT OF DROUGHT RESISTANCE IN COMMON BEAN (2013, methodology): “) is the most important grain legume for human consumption as it provides an important source of protein (~22%), vitamins (folate), and minerals (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn) for human diets, especially in developing countries (Beebe, 2012).”
• Common beans, biodiversity, and multiple stresses: challenges of drought resistance in tropical soils (2014, background): “Virtually all wild ancestors of crops display lower HI than their domesticated counterparts (Evans 1993), but this tendency is especially marked in wild common bean because of the very competitive environment from which it derived (Beebe 2012).”
