New genomic regions in dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) associated with stem diameter, plant height, and other plant architecture traits
Growth habit is one of the most important domestication traits in dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In the U.S. for example, Type II indeterminate upright plant varieties have allowed farmers to switch from historic two-pass harvest to one-pass direct harvest. Previous work suggested a stem diameter of 5.6 mm as thresh...
