“…More recently, different GWAS studies have been conducted for the identification of genomic regions associated with different traits, including agronomic performance (Kamfwa et al, 2015a;Moghaddam et al, 2016), cooking time , drought tolerance (Hoyos-Villegas et al, 2017), symbiotic N 2 fixation (Kamfwa et al, 2015b) (Morini et al, 2016;Zuiderveen et al, 2016;Choudhary et al, 2018) in the common bean, but limited attention has been paid to bruchid resistance. Bean bruchid (Zabrotes subfasciatus) resistance was mapped on a gene cluster on linkage group B4 for an arcelin, phytohemagglutinin, and a-amylase inhibitor (APA) locus in biparental populations (Osborn et al, 1986;Blair et al, 2010bBlair et al, , 2010c.…”
