Coffee is the main Ethiopia’s most important agricultural export crop, which providing about 25-30% of foreign exchange earnings. The estimation stability performance cultivars becomes to detect consistently performing and high yielding genotypes. Eleven Arabica coffee genotypes were evaluated in southwestern part Ethiopia across four locations for two consecutive years (2014/15 - 2015/16). obj...

The production and quality of Phaseolusvulgaris (snap bean) have been negatively impacted by leaf crumple disease caused two whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses: cucurbit virus (CuLCrV) sida golden mosaic Florida (SiGMFV), which often appear as a mixed infection in Georgia. Host resistance is the most economical management strategy against viruses. Currently, information not available with respe...

Crop production of the important legume, the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), is often limited by low phosphorus (P) in the soil. The genotypes, BAT477 and DOR364, of the common bean have contrasting responses to P starvation. Plants from the BAT477 P deficiency tolerant genotype showed higher phosphate content and root biomass as compared to the DOR364 plants under P starvation. The PvPHR1 tr...

A core collection of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), representing genetic diversity in the entire Mexican holding, is kept at the INIFAP (Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agricolas y Pecuarias, Mexico) Germplasm Bank. After evaluation, the genetic structure of this collection (200 accessions) was compared with that of landraces from the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas and Ve...

Genetic diversity analysis was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh in 22 diverse genotypes Indian bean for 17 yield attributing traits grouped to five clusters through Mahalanobis’ D2 analysis. Out the 5 clusters, maximum number were accommodated cluster I with 13 genotypes, followed by II V 2 I...

Winged bean, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC., is similar to soybean in yield and nutritional value but more viable in tropical conditions. Here, we strengthen genetic resources for this orphan crop by producing a de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation of two Sri Lankan accessions (denoted herein as CPP34 [PI 491423] and CPP37 [PI 639033]), developing simple sequence repeat (SSR) mar...

The interaction between polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs), produced by plants, and endopolygalacturonases (PGs), produced by fungi, limits the destructive potential of PGs and can trigger plant defense responses. This study aimed to i) investigate variation in the expression of different common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes and its relationship with resistance to white mold...

Next generation sequence data provides valuable information and tools for genetic and genomic research and offers new insights useful for marker development. This data is useful for the design of accurate and user-friendly molecular tools. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a diverse crop in which separate domestication events happened in each gene pool followed by race and market class div...

Four bean genotypes (IPA-1, A-107, A-211, and Calima), representing all possible combinations of resistance and susceptibility to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop) and Meloidogyne incognita, were each inoculated with three population densities of these pathogens. Calima and A-107 were resistant to Fop; A-107 and A-211 were resistant to M. incognita; and IPA-1 was susceptible to both path...
