Breeding for Enhanced Nutrition in Common Bean

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Breeding for Enhanced Nutrition and Bio-Active Compounds in Food Legumes

Abstract

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is the most important food legume for direct human consumption, provides significant quantities of protein and energy, and is a source of vitamins and minerals including Fe and Zn. In addition to these nutritional components, common beans are rich in a variety of several phytochemicals with potential health benefits such as polyphenolic compounds, fiber, lectins, and trypsin inhibitors. Mineral deficiencies in human populations are one of the greatest health concerns given that half the current population of the world is affected by some sort of mineral deficiency. Thus, the major staples that have been targeted for mineral biofortification breeding at the international scale include mainly the seed crops of rice, wheat, maize, and common bean along with related cereals and legumes in certain more intensive national research programs that are part of the overall HarvestPlus biofortification program. Therefore, the scope of this chapter is to review the role of some bioactive compounds present in common beans, biochemistry of the biofortification traits, and their analytical methods. The main goals of mineral biofortification have been to increase the concentration of iron or zinc in certain major cereals and legumes. In humans, iron is essential for preventing anemia and for the proper functioning of many metabolic processes, whereas zinc is essential for adequate growth and for resistance to gastroenteric and respiratory infections, especially in children. This book chapter outlines the advantages and needs of mineral biofortification in common bean, starting with the steps of breeding for traits such as germplasm screening, inheritance, biochemical analytical methods, molecular approaches, and future challenges and finishing with product development in the form of new biofortified varieties.
