Abstract

Wild populations of common bean pertainingto the Andean gene pool are distributedfrom southern Peru to northern Argentina.The objectives of this study were todetermine the genetic structure of Andeanlandraces from northern Argentina, as oneof the potential domestication sites of theAndean domesticated gene pool, and toestablish a correspondence between Andeanprimitive landraces and wild populationsthat might have served as the source ofdomesticated bean. Forty-four landraces and21 wild populations representing thediversity of common bean in northernArgentina were included in this study. Results indicated that Andean gene pool inArgentina has a large genetic base on thebasis of morphological and adaptivevariability and biochemical analysis. Theexistence of introgressed populations withsympatric wild forms was evidenced.
