Abstract
Common bean is the most important grain legume crop for food consumption worldwide and has a role in sustainable agriculture as a main source of proteins and nutrients. This book provides insights into some of the key achievements made in the study of common bean, as well as a timely overview of topics that are pertinent for future developments in legume genomics. At the conclusion of this volume, it is as important to take a look back so as to put a forward view in proper perspective.
