Download or read book Genetic Resources of Phaseolus Beans written by Paul Gepts and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period following the second world war has witnessed an expanding commitment to incr~ased food production in tropical countries. Public and private initiatives at the national and international levels have led to the creation of programs geared specifically towards the improvement of food crops in tropical conditions. Examples of this increased commitment are the network of international agricultural research centers and numerous bilateral aid projects. As a consequence, crop improvement has become a truly worldwide endeavor, relying on an international network of institutions and collaborators. This holds also for Phaseolus beans. Following the discovery of the Americas, Phaseolus beans became distributed on all six continents. Yet, until not so long ago, most of the research on Phaseolus improvement took place in developed countries. In recognition of the nutritional importance of Phaseolus beans in developing countries, this has changed considerably in the last years, principally perhaps through the activities of the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) and the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR). Consequently, the scope of the research on Phaseolus has broadened considerably and the number of Phaseolus researchers is larger than ever before.

Book Synopsis Genetics and Physiology of Drought Adaptation in Wild and Domesticated Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) of the Mesoamerican Gene Pool by : Jorge Carlos Berny Mier y Teran
Download or read book Genetics and Physiology of Drought Adaptation in Wild and Domesticated Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) of the Mesoamerican Gene Pool written by Jorge Carlos Berny Mier y Teran and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought is the main constraint in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production. Although breeding efforts to increase drought resistance have shown gains in productivity, their full potential remains untapped. Improvements have been limited by the complexity of the trait involved, limited germplasm recombination, and most importantly, the poorly understood genetic basis of tolerance. To gain information about the genetics and mechanism(s) of drought adaptation, I explored the genetic diversity of wild and domesticated Mesoamerican gene pool of the species through genetic analyses in natural, bi-parental, and multi-parental populations. In the first chapter, I evaluated root and shoot traits in a large panel of wild accessions and reference domesticated cultivars, both from the Mesoamerican distribution of common bean, in a greenhouse tube experiment. The domesticated beans were, in general, more vigorous and deeper-rooted than wild beans. Nevertheless, some wild beans were outstanding in their productivity and rooting capacity. A comparison of the measured phenotypic traits with the climatic and soil characteristics of the location of origin of the individual wild bean accessions showed that most traits were significantly associated with mean annual temperature and aridity. The most deeply rooted and productive accessions originated from the driest regions. Each wild accession was genotyped with both a SNP array and a GBS platform; three populations of wild bean accessions were identified, of which the most productive, deeply rooted, and more drought-tolerant population, originating from Central and North-West Mexico and Oaxaca. Through genome-wide association analyses, genomic regions associated with productivity, root depth, and drought adaptation were identified. Some co-located with regions showing signals of selection suggesting that drought stress is a driver of local adaptation in wild common beans.In the second chapter, I investigated the effects of drought stress on the genetic architecture of photosynthate allocation and remobilization in pods, one of the main mechanisms of drought resistance and overall productivity. A bi-parental recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of the Mesoamerican gene pool was evaluated in field conditions under well-watered conditions and terminal and intermittent drought stress in two years. There was a significant effect of the water regime and year on pod harvest index (PHI), a measure of the partition of seed biomass to pod biomass, its components, phenology and grain yield at the phenotypic and QTL level. QTLs for pod harvest index, including a major, stable QTL on chromosome Pv07 was detected. For grain yield, the QTLs were not stable; however, three were detected for the overall mean across environments. There was differential co-localization of the components of PHI, co-localizing mainly with either the pod wall, seed mass, or both. Three of the eight yield QTLs co-localized with PHI QTLs, underlying the importance of photosynthate remobilization in productivity. Epistasis explained a considerable part of the variation, especially for PHI and yield. In the third chapter, to further test the value of wild variation as compared with the domesticated forms, joint linkage mapping of nested populations was carried out in three newly develop domesticated by wild backcrossed recombinant inbred line populations. The populations were developed by crossing three wild accessions representing the extreme range of rainfall of the Mesoamerican wild bean distribution to an elite drought resistant domesticated parent. Grain yield was evaluated under field conditions in two fully irrigated trials in two seasons and a simulated terminal drought in the second season. The highest yielding populations were the populations from the lower part of the rainfall distribution. The populations were genotyped and a consensus map was developed containing 721 SNP markers. Twenty QTLs were found in 13 unique regions on eight chromosomes. At least one wild allele with a significant positive additive effect was found in five of these regions. The additive effects of all the QTLs ranged from -164 to 277 kg ha−1, with some evidence of allelic series. The variation explained by these QTLs ranged from 0.6 to 5.4 % of the total variation. These results underlie the potential of wild variation for bean crop improvement as well the identification of regions for efficient marker-assisted introgression and candidate genes.
Book Synopsis Gene Flow Between Crops and Their Wild Relatives by : Meike S. Andersson
Download or read book Gene Flow Between Crops and Their Wild Relatives written by Meike S. Andersson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewing the relevant scientific and technical literature, this work summarizes the current state-of-the-art knowledge related to gene flow and introgression (the permanent incorporation of genetic information from one set of differentiated populations into another) between genetically modified crops and their wild relatives. They analyze the biological framework for protecting the genetic integrity of indigenous wild relatives of crops in centers of crop origin and diversity, focusing on the issues of emission, dispersal, and deposition of pollen and/or seed; the likelihood and extent of gene flow from crops to wild relatives; and stabilization and the spread of traits in wild species. The material is organized into crop chapters, each of which covers general biological information of the crop; the most important crop wild relatives together with information about their ploidy levels, diverse genomes, centers of origin, and geographic distribution; the crop's potential for hybridization with its wild relatives; pollen flow studies related to pollen dispersal distances and hybridization rates; the current state of the genetic modification technology regarding that crop; and research gaps. The crop chapters discuss banana and plantain; barley; canola and oilseed rape; cassava, manioc, and yucca; chickpea; common bean; cotton; cowpea; finger millet; maize and corn; oat; peanut and groundnut; pearl millet; pigeonpea; potato; rice; sorghum; soybean; sweet potato, batata, and camote; and wheat and bread wheat.

Book Synopsis Broadening the Genetic Base of Grain Legumes by : Mohar Singh
Download or read book Broadening the Genetic Base of Grain Legumes written by Mohar Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grain legumes play significant and diverse role in the farming systems and provide nutrition security to the largely vegetarian and relatively poorer people around the world. These are ideal crops for achieving three simultaneous developmental goals viz. reducing poverty, improving human health and nutrition and enhancing ecosystem resilience. Globally, grain legumes are the second most important crop group next only to cereals but a large proportion of area of it is under rainfed-low input systems as compared to cereals contributing to lower yields. The other important factor responsible for reduced yield in grain legumes is the narrow genetic base of the present day pulse varieties. In order to break the yield barriers of these cultivars, new sources of genes/ alleles need to be identified and suitably incorporated into the adapted background. The information on various aspects of grain legume improvement although has been considerable in the recent past, these information are highly scattered and not available at one place. The present book consists of comprehensive and latest crop-wise information on important grain legumes of the world including their distribution, gene pool, systematics, status of genetic and genomic resources, production constraints, traits of importance, crop improvement methodologies - both conventional as well as contemporary and future strategies to be adopted for comprehensive grain legume improvement in various agro-ecological target areas of the globe. The chapters have been contributed by eminent crop experts from across the world engaged in research in their respective crops for the past several years thus providing a rare insight into the crop specific constraints and prospects drawing from their rich overall experience. The book therefore will be a useful source of information to the grain legume researchers, students, policy planners and developmental experts alike.

This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) is the most important pulse crop in the world. It is an important source of calories, proteins, dietary fibers, minerals, and vitamins for millions of people in both developing and developed countries worldwide. It complements cereals and other carbohydrate-rich foods in providing near-perfect nutrition to people of all ages. Moreover, a regular intake ofbeans helps lower cholesterol and cancer risks. Despite the fact that per capita consumption of common bean in some developed countries (e. g. , the U. S. A. ) has been increasing over the last several years, in general, the average global per capita consumption is declining because production is unable to keep up with the population growth. Moreover, increasing demand for pesticide-free food products, concern for natural resources conservation, and the need to reduce production costs offer daunting challenges to the twenty-first century policy makers, bean growers, and researchers alike. High yielding, high quality bean cultivars that require less water, fertilizers, pesticides, and manual labor combined with integrated management of abiotic and biotic stresses will have to be developed. Eminent bean researchers were invited to contemplate these issues, prepare a state-of-the-art account on most relevant topics, and offer their insight into research directions into the twenty-first century. Four excellent books have been published covering various aspects ofthe common bean since 1980. These books are: I) Bean Production Problems nd in the Tropics (l SI ed. 1980, 2 ed. 1989), H. F. Schwartz & M. A.

Download or read book Dry Beans and Pulses written by Muhammad Siddiq and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common beans and pulses are diverse food resources of high nutritional value (protein, energy, fiber and vitamins and minerals) with broad social acceptance. These legume crops demonstrate global adaptability, genotypic and phenotypic diversity, and multiple means of preparation and dietary use. Beans and pulses are produced in regions as diverse as Latin America, Africa, Asia, and North America, and on a scale similar to some other crops, such as wheat, corn, rice and soybeans. Numerous factors influence utilization, including bean type and cultivar selection, cropping environment and systems, storage conditions and handling infrastructure, processing and final product preparation. Nutrient content and bio-availability are dramatically influenced by these conditions. In recent years, beans and pulses have been cited for imparting specific positive health potentiating responses, such as hypocholesteremic response, mitigation of diabetes and colonic cancer, and weight control. Enhanced dry bean utilization focused on improved dietary health is an opportunity within both subsistent and developed populations. This book provides a contemporary source of information that brings together current knowledge and practices in the value chain of beans/pulses production, processing, and nutrition. It provides in-depth coverage of a wide variety of pertinent topics including: breeding, postharvest technologies, composition, processing technologies, food safety, quality, nutrition, and significance in human health. An experienced team of over 25 contributors from North America, Asia, and Africa has written 15 chapters, divided into three sections: Overview, production and postharvest technologies of beans and pulses Composition, value-added processing and quality Culinology, nutrition, and significance in human health Contributors come from a field of diverse disciplines, including crop sciences, food science and technology, food biochemistry, food engineering, nutritional sciences, and culinology. Dry Beans and Pulses Production, Processing and Nutrition is an essential resource for scientists, processors and nutritionists, whatever the work setting.
