Beyond Nitrogen Fixation: Multifunctional Roles of Common Bean in Organic Agroecosystems and Ecosystem-Oriented Breeding Strategies

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is among the world’s most widely consumed grain legumes and a foundational species for organic and low-input agriculture, yet its agroecological value extends far beyond nitrogen fixation and nutritional provisioning. This review reframes P. vulgaris as a breeding target defined by e...

Crop wild relatives of legumes: evolutionary resources for climate-responsive pre-breeding

Legume crops are increasingly exposed to a combination of abiotic stresses - including drought, heat, salinity and flooding - alongside mounting biotic pressures from pathogens and insect pests. Historical domestication and modern breeding practices have substantially narrowed the genetic base of cultivated legumes, co...
