Abstract
In the Misión Biológica de Galicia, Spanish National Research Council (MBG-CSIC) there is a germplasm collection of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) that includes wild and cultivated accessions. In the case of the cultivated populations from the Andean Region, some of them are considered “primitive” since they are unimproved landraces. The aim of this study was to describe some characteristics of the wild and primitive populations and their area of origin.
