Abstract
The green bean, known also as the green-podded snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is currently the third largest vegetable crop grown for processing in the United States and is also a major vegetable crop in many temperate zone countries of the world. Much credit for the present popularity of the green bean must go to those who have advanced our knowledge of the crop over several decades of research in agricultural disciplines such as plant genetics and crop production methods.
