Inheritance of seed iron and zinc concentrations in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (2009, background): “…the grain legume of greatest volume for direct human consumption in the world and is an important staple crop for small farmers and the urban poor in Latin America and Eastern and Southern Africa with about 8.5 million metric tons produced annually in the developing world (Broughton et al. 2003).”
The Use of Proline in Screening for Tolerance to Drought and Salinity in Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Genotypes (2020, background): “In fact, globally, only a small percentage, around 7%, of the cropland planted with common bean receives adequate rainfall [11], and in some areas, drought causes yield losses of up to 80% [22] Like practically all cultivated plants, the bean is a glycophyte, sensitive to soil salinity even at elect”
Common bean as a potential crop for future food security: an overview of past, current and future contributions in genomics, transcriptomics, transgenics and proteomics (2021, background): “For this purpose, diverse parents have been selected exhibiting enough phenotypic variations for agronomic traits, disease resistance, antioxidants, and cooking properties, and also have shown higher polymorphism levels [11, 42].”
Farmers' insect pest management practices and pesticidal plant use in the protection of stored maize and beans in Southern Africa (2010, background): “Beans are the major source of dietary protein across Africa (Broughton et al. 2003) and they provide an additional source of income, especially for women farmers who produce the crop in Malawi (Chirwa 2002).”
Achievements and Challenges in Legume Breeding for Pest and Disease Resistance (2015, background): “Despite these efforts, in most cases the recovery rate of transgenic lines is still low and about 1% depending on the transformation method and the legume species (Broughton et al., 2003; Chandra and Pental, 2003).”
Analysis of Seed Zinc and Other Minerals in a Recombinant Inbred Population of Navy Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (2007, background): “ommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is cultivated throughout the world as the most important grain legume grown for direct human consumption and an important source of dietary proteins, vitamins, and minerals ( Broughton et al., 2003 ).”
Achievements and limitations of contemporary common bean breeding using conventional and molecular approaches (2009, background): “Broughton et al. (2003) reported that efforts to transform common beans have had only limited success.”
Phylogeny of the Genus Phaseolus (Leguminosae): A Recent Diversification in an Ancient Landscape (2006, neutral): “Because of its economic importance, the genus has been the focus of much agronomic, molecular genetic, and systematic study (e.g., Broughton et al. 2003; González-Mejı́a et al. 2005).”
Effect of Rhizobium–Azospirillum coinoculation on nitrogen fixation and yield of two contrasting Phaseolus vulgaris L. genotypes cultivated across different environments in Cuba (2008, background): “Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important legume for direct human consumption worldwide (Broughton et al. 2003).”
Integration of genomics approach with traditional breeding towards improving abiotic stress adaptation: drought and aluminum toxicity as case studies (2004, background): “CIAT began working in the 1970s toward developing more drought tolerant varieties of common bean by screening advanced lines selected for other traits (Broughton et al., 2003).”
