THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COLOR AND RELATIVE CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT IN SNAP BEAN LEAVES AND PODS

摘要

The common bean is one of the most important vegetable and grain legume crops consumed globally. Leaf and pod color are important phenotypic traits affecting quality and productivity. Chlorophyll is the main factor affecting plant color, and plays animportant role in human health, such as odor control, cancer prevention, blood detoxification, and immune system support. To determine the factors affecting the genetic architecture of leaf and pod color, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is underway using the snap bean association panel (SnAP) of 382 accessions.
