In situ conservation of the wild relative of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris var. aborigineus) at the south of its neotropical distribution: environmental characterization of a population in central Argentina

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a food of worldwide vital importance. Like any crop, the conservation of its wild relatives is essential to maintain the genetic variability needed for plant breeding. In situ conservation of such population has the additional benefit of generating new vari...
