Elucidation of the rust resistance genetic control in Portuguese common bean through a genime-wide association study

Trabajo presentado en el 15th Congress of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union (Plant health sistaining Mediterranean ecosystems), celebrado en Córdoba (España) del 20 al 23 de junio de 2017.Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the most important grain legumes for human consumption worldwide, with recognized nutritional and environmental benefits. However, its vulnerability to several diseases leads to significant yield losses and limited cultivation in Europe.This research was supported by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) through the grant SFRH/BD/92160/2013, IF/01337/2014 FCT Investigator contract, the project Exploiting bean genetics for food quality and attractiveness innovation (PTDC/AGRTEC/3555/2012), the Research unit GREEN-it “Bioresources for Sustainability” (UID/Multi/04551/2013), and by COST Actions FA1208 and FA1306.Peer reviewe
