Breeding to Improve Plant Type

  • Chapter
Common Bean Improvement in the Twenty-First Century

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Breeding ((DIPB,volume 7))

Abstract

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most widely cultivated species in a group of more than 60 legume species referred to as pulse crops. All pulse crops have gone through a process of agricultural domestication and adaptation to farming systems. Early crop improvements were made by selecting desirable plant and seed types. Over time, a rich diversity of landraces evolved for most pulses. In the early part of this century, private and public plant breeding programs were established for most of the economically important pulse crops.
