New paper! Here we delve into the domestication of common bean, finding that PvMYB26 reduced pod shattering in a domestication event occurring in Jalisco or Michoacan. Results also hint at a possible third domestication in the species in Ecuador/Peru! #plant #domestication #beans #agriculture #genes
