Study of vegetable beans collection in climatic conditions and selection of promising sources for breeding

Abstract

During the span of 2018 to 2021, a comprehensive investigation was conducted encompassing the morphobiological and economically significant attributes of 20 distinct samples of vegetable beans. These samples were meticulously gathered through collaborative expeditionary ventures spanning the landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. The interdisciplinary efforts of scientists hailing from the Scientific Research Institute of Plant Genetic Resources and the Rural Development Administration of the Republic of Korea (RDA) culminated in an in-depth analysis of these plant varieties. The outcome of this thorough exploration yielded noteworthy results, highlighting the identification and isolation of four early maturing and five high-yielding samples of vegetable beans. The amalgamation of expertise, fieldwork, and scientific scrutiny brought forth the delineation of these promising bean varieties with traits poised to contribute significantly to agricultural productivity and resilience across the studied regions. The collaborative nature of this endeavor underscores the significance of international cooperation in advancing agricultural innovation and enhancing the cultivation of vital crops.
