“…Although its Latin and English names (Phaseolus vulgaris L.; common bean) suggest that it is an ordinary plant species, considering the nutritional properties and genetic structure of the common bean, it can be concluded that, on the contrary, it is an exceptional species that represents a potential crop for future food and nutrient security [10,11]. It originated in Mexico and, through later diversification and spread throughout the Americas and the world, has become the most ecologically adapted species of the genus Phaseolus, quickly becoming popular for its nutritional qualities [12].…”

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a plant with high nutritional value that occupies an important place in human nutrition worldwide. Its yields vary widely and are often below the genetic potential of the species, given the diversity of cropping systems and climatic changes. Common bean landraces are a source of great genetic variability and provide excellent material for the selection and improvement of numerous agronomic traits and the creation of modern cultivars. It is also important to use high quality seed of high-yielding cultivars in production, because in common bean, in addition to yield and resistance to abiotic and biotic stress factors, traits such as nutritional value and digestibility are also the focus of interest. The success of common bean production depends to a large extent on the quality of the seed, the production approach and new breeding programs.

“…Characterization of common beans low in PA ( lpa genotype) has recently attracted much attention. Specifically, stress-tolerance of lpa beans has become an interesting research focus ( Punjabi et al, 2018 ; Raboy, 2020 ; Losa et al, 2022 ). Lowering the phytate content in plants can potentially cause phenotypic changes as well as a loss of the antioxidative function of PA during abiotic stress conditions.…”

Common bean seeds are an excellent source of protein as well as of carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds reducing, when in the diet, the risks of diseases. The presence of bioactive compounds with antinutritional properties (e.g., phytic acid, lectins, raffinosaccharides, protease inhibitors) limits, however, the bean’s nutritional value and its wider use in food preparations. In the last decades, concerted efforts have been, therefore, made to develop new common bean genotypes with reduced antinutritional compounds by exploiting the natural genetic variability of common bean and also applying induced mutagenesis. However, possible negative, or positive, pleiotropic effects due to these modifications, in terms of plant performance in response to stresses or in the resulting technological properties of the developed mutant genotypes, have yet not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of the perspective paper is to first highlight the current advances, which have been already made in mutant bean characterization. A view will be further provided on future research directions to specifically explore further advantages and disadvantages of these bean mutants, their potential use in innovative foods and representing a valuable genetic reservoir of combinations to assess the true functional role of specific seed bioactive components directly in the food matrix.

“…Production challenges associated with agro‐climate conditions cause yield losses of up to 80% under rain‐fed production systems (Beebe et al, 2013; Kazai et al, 2019). In sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where the cultivated area under common bean is currently estimated at 682,000 ha, the annual yield loss incurred due to drought/heat stress is significant and is estimated at 781,000 tonnes (Losa et al, 2022). The average yield of common bean in SSA is a paltry 600 kg ha −1 , compared with 1100 kg ha −1 in Brazil, 1700 kg ha −1 in China and 2000 kg ha −1 in the United States (Losa et al, 2022).…”

In SSA, bean production primarily relies on natural conditions with inadequate precipitation, low input application and devoid of irrigation facilities (Ramirez‐Villegas & Thornton, 2015).…”

Combining ability of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes for root traits across diverse environments

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Root system architecture is important for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) adaptability to diverse environments. Beans employ complex adaptive root mechanisms for coping with multiple stresses in production environments. Understanding genetic control of root traits is central to improvement of common bean for adaptation to marginal environments. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine combining ability of root and agronomic traits and (ii) estimate the heritability and genetic correlation of root and agronomic traits in common bean. Four bean lines with superior root traits were crossed with four locally adapted varieties in a North Carolina II mating scheme to generate 16 crosses. The 16 F 1 s were selfed and advanced to F 2 generation. Eight parents and their F 2 progenies were evaluated in an alpha-Lattice design with two replications. General and specific combing ability mean squares were significant (p ≤ .05) for all traits measured. General predictability ratios ranged from .47 to .68 across locations suggesting that both additive and non-additive gene action modulate root traits and seed yield. Positive and significant (p ≤ .05) phenotypic and genetic correlations revealed significant association between root traits and yield.Moderate to high heritability estimates of between .43 and .67 were realized. Such estimates point to possible deployment of a successful selection programme. Genotype AFR398 displayed significant positive GCA effects among its crosses for both root and agronomic traits hence a potential candidate genotype for inclusion in a bean genetic improvement programme for marginal environments.
