“…Common bean is mostly cultivated by small‐scale farmers in Brazil, usually in marginal soil conditions, where several biotic and abiotic factors frequently decrease crop yield (Beebe, Rao, Blair, & Butare, 2009; Oladzad, Porch, & Rosas, 2019). Among the abiotic stressors, the most limiting factors for plant growth and yield are drought (Androcioli, Zeffa, Alves, Tomaz, & Moda‐Cirino, 2020; Arruda et al., 2019), high temperatures (Chavez‐Arias, Ligarreto‐Moreno, & Restrepo‐Díaz, 2018), aluminum toxicity (Santos Neto et al., 2020), and nutritional deficiencies, mostly caused by phosphorus (P; Tembo, Namebo, Chanda, Kafwa, & Munyinda, 2019) and nitrogen (N; Zeffa et al., 2020). Therefore, it is essential to address the mentioned drawbacks to improve common bean productivity in these regions, mainly by making improved cultivars available with tolerance to abiotic stresses and resource use efficiency (Beebe et al., 2009; Miklas, Kelly, Beebe, & Blair, 2006).…”
