Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landraces and varieties grown by farmers in the tropics are a major source of genes and genetic diversity for bean improvement. These materials are, however, threatened by genetic erosion. In this study, we sought to understand the current state of genetic diversity of common bean in Uganda, using the available collection consisting of 284 bean accessions. A field experiment was conducted at the National Crops Resources Research Institute in Namulonge, Uganda. The level of morphological variation estimated with the Shannon Weaver diversity index (H), ranged from 0.47 to 0.58, with an overall mean of 0.56±0.19, an indicator of moderate genetic diversity. Principal component analysis (PCA) clustered the ...
