Bean Breeding

As of July, CIAT's Library is exhibiting books, thesis, reports and other documents on "Beans Breeding”. The exhibition includes: selection, hybridization, crossbreeding, resistance to environmental stress and to insect pests and diseases, marker-assisted selection, genetic resources, among others. Some of the publications are listed below:
