Overview
- Offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on the genomics of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and related crop species in the genus Phaseolus
- Provides insights into the importance of the genomic information, both nuclear and organelle
- Unravels the intriguing evolutionary process associated with the two independent domestications of the common bean and with the processes of the other species of the genus
- Includes a complete review of the qualitative and quantitative data on several sets of genes of particular interest for breeding
- Gives examples of how genomic information can be used in the basic and applied study of particular sets of genes or repeated sequences
- Highlights the importance of the common bean as a model species for legume research, as well as of genomic information for ongoing research on the species
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
