A genome-wide analysis of differentiation between wild and domesticated Phaseolus vulgaris from Mesoamerica
Lack of introgression or divergent selection may be responsible for the maintenance of phenotypic differences between sympatric populations of crops and their wild progenitors. To distinguish between these hyp...

Chloroplast DNA as an evolutionary marker in thePhaseolus vulgaris complex
We have analyzed the changes occurring in the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of taxa belonging to thePhaseolus vulgaris complex to help clarify relationships among species of this complex. Two restriction maps for 11 re...

The Wild Relative of Phaseolus Vulgaris in Middle America
The wild relatives of crop plants constitute the raw material from which present day cultivars have been derived. A better knowledge of these wild relatives should provide us with a better understanding of the...
