Abstract

The common bean is the most relevant grain legume for direct human consumption. The current bean germplasm collections show a wide variation of phenotypes, although in many developed countries where landraces are being replaced by elite cultivars the genetic erosion is progressively affecting the species. This crop has expanded through all the continents during the past centuries, and bean germplasm out of its regions of origin is more complex than was previously thought and contains additional diversity that remains to be explored for its breeding value. The integration of genomic data into gene bank documentation systems and its combination with agronomic, genetic, phenotypic and ecological data will open a new era for the valorization of this grain legume.
