| first use of microsatellite markers in a large collection of cultivated and wild accessions of tepary bean (phaseolus acutifolius a. gray). | tepary bean (phaseolus acutifolius a. gray) is a dry-land crop species that originated in the deserts of mexico and the south-western united states and therefore is proposed as a source of drought and salt tolerance for related species and for production in marginal rainfall areas. few genetic tools have been developed or tested for tepary bean but microsatellites from common bean are an obvious choice for diversity analysis in the crop. the first goal of this study was to validate a set of gene ... | 2012 | 22678667 |
