Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of 215 common bean accessions, revealing wide variability in morpho-agronomic and biochemical traits. Genetic parameters showed high to intermediate heritability for most traits, and Ward's hierarchical clustering analysis grouped the accessions into six clusters. AFLP analysis also indicated significant differences among the accessions, with no correlation between genetic markers and morpho-agronomic data, highlighting the importance of both datasets in understanding accession differences.

Summary: This study found that plant immunity can alter the bacterial proteome to reduce pathogenicity and induce bacterial self-toxicity during an immune response, which can inhibit the spread of pathogens. Immunity also decreases the levels of certain detoxification enzymes in bacteria, leading to more severe inhibition of bacterial growth.

Summary: Italy is rich in uncharacterized common bean landraces. This study evaluated the composition and profiles of 'Cerato' and 'Curniciello' dry beans cultivated in Caserta, Southern Italy, and compared them with other local dry beans. 'Cerato' beans had lower levels of proteins, lipids, and amino acids compared to 'Curniciello' beans. Fatty acid analysis showed that linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and oleic acid were the most abundant in both beans. The inhibitory activities of enzymes related to protein and carbohydrate intake were also investigated. AFLP analysis provided useful information for authentication and traceability. Overall, this study contributes to the preservation of local culinary traditions and Italian biodiversity.

Summary: Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans (Xcf) and Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. phaseoli (Xpp) are the causal agents of common bacterial blight of bean (CBB), favored by seed transmission, and targeting mainly the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and other legumes. They are classified in the Bacteria kingdom, Proteobacteria phylum, Gammaproteobacteria class, Lysobacterales order, Lysobacteraceae family, and Xanthomonas genus. Management strategies include integrated approaches to control the disease, such as seed testing and using resistant plant genotypes.

Summary: Anthrancose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, is a damaging seed-transmitted disease of dry beans. A real-time qPCR assay was developed to detect the pathogen in seedlings. Field trials showed that increasing infection severity in seeds leads to decreased emergence and yield, as well as increased foliar symptoms and pathogen detection.

Summary: This study utilized 1H NMR metabolomics profiling to analyze different cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris seeds and leaves, finding a similar metabolomics fingerprint with a variety of metabolites, higher concentrations of free amino acids in seeds, and more abundant organic acids in leaves. FN seeds and FPe leaves were highlighted for best nutritional properties, with high protein, flavonoids, amino acids, and nucleosides content.

Summary: This study investigated the diversity and population structure of 427 breeding lines, varieties, or landraces of common beans. Significant differences were found among the genotypes in traits such as days to flowering and physiological maturity, yield, seed iron and zinc, and cooking time. The genotypes showed high genetic diversity and have potential for use in plant breeding. Improvement in iron and zinc content, cooking time, and yield performance is possible in certain market classes such as red and small white beans.

Summary: In this study, genomic regions associated with Fop resistance in common beans were identified using genome-wide association studies. Specific SNP markers on certain chromosomes were found to be associated with different aspects of resistance to two monosporic strains of Fop. Putative candidate genes related to disease resistance were also identified, indicating the potential for future genomic selection tools in managing Fusarium wilt in beans.

Summary: This study evaluates the leaching effects of saline water on the chemical characteristics of a Red Eutrophic Acrisol. The results indicate that a leaching fraction of 25% increases nutrient concentration in the soil solution and affects the levels of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and boron in bean leaves. Other elements and soil characteristics were not significantly influenced by the leaching fractions.

Summary: The study revealed that more than 15 viruses pose a threat to common bean production in Tanzania, with wild plants potentially carrying viruses from 25 genera. The greatest virus diversity was found in the eastern and northern zones, while only a few viruses were detected in wild plants in the southern highlands zone.

Summary: Aphelenchoides besseyi, the causal agent of soybean green stem and foliar retention syndrome, has been reported parasitizing cotton in Brazil. In common bean, it causes symptoms like amachamiento and false angular spots, which are crucial for developing management strategies to prevent losses in bean crops in infested areas. This study provides the first report of the pathogenicity and symptoms caused by A. besseyi in common bean in Brazil.

Summary: Common bean is grown in diverse pedoclimatic conditions with variations in management practices and cultivars. Simulation models can be a useful tool for optimizing irrigation management. This study used the CSM-CROPGRO-Dry bean model to determine the optimal irrigation levels for different sowing dates and cultivars. The results showed that regulated water deficit irrigation can be implemented without significantly reducing bean yields if early sowing is done within the winter season. The model also highlighted the importance of avoiding sowing dates that coincide with periods of low solar radiation for achieving higher yields.
