Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance contributes to improving the process of generating bean genotypes adapted to the...
