The Goal? Integrating the resulting phenotypic data with existing genotyping information (under WP4) to advance genomic selection approaches for improving the organoleptic quality of common beans🌿 #BELIS #legumes #breeding #innovation #sustainability #Bean #Research

The #UNL team 🇵🇹 has successfully wrapped up the first year of common bean field trials! They collected diverse samples under uniform environmental conditions to prepare for future flavour phenotyping after seed cooking.
