Abstract:

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important legume crop that provides a significant source of protein and nutrients to a large part of the world’s population. However the yield and qualities of common bean are often compromised by various diseases caused by pathogens such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. Breeding for disease resistance is a sustainable and cost effective approach to mitigate the impact of these diseases. This review paper aims to discuss the achievements and prospects of common bean breeding for disease resistance, including the identification of resistance source, and future prospects. The importance of incorporating diverse resistance genes and the utilization of modern breeding techniques to enhance disease resistance in common bean varieties highlighted.

Keywords: Common bean, gene pyramiding, genetic diversity, host-pathogen interaction.
