Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is one of the five most important legume crops from the genus Phaseolus though it is one of the neglected crops in Ethiopia. There is no national breeding program for its improvement. As it is true for all crops, understanding the genetic diversity of Lima bean is useful for its improvement and sustainable use. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate genetic diversity of Lima bean landrace collected in Ethiopia using eight issr markers. A total of 96 landrace were collected from five administrative zones of Ethiopia from which 106 clear bands were detected. About 95 (88.7%) of the bands were polymorphic. The genetic diversity analyses result revealed that landrace collected from West Wellega showed the highest (0.1864) genetic diversity. amova demonstrated highly significant (P=0.00) genetic diversity among and within populations. A considerable proportion (66%) of the total genetic diversity was distributed among populations and 34% within populations. In addition, the calculated Fst value was high (Fst = 0.66), associated with a low gene flow value (Nm=0.27) indicating lower differentiation of the populations, which, in turn, implied no significant exchange of planting materials among farmers in the studied populations and the nature of the crops that Lima bean is 52% self pollinated crop. upgma, structure and PCoA analysis showed very strong grouping among individuals collected from the same zones and geographically distinct zones. Overall, genetic diversity achieved from this study could be used as pioneer information about the existing genetic resource for future Lima bean conservation and improvement strategy in Ethiopia.

<p><strong>Background</strong><em>. </em>Understanding the genetic structure of wild relatives of domesticated species is crucial for its conservation and to elucidate the sites of crop domestication. Lima bean is one of the five domesticated <em>Phaseolus</em> species and Mexico is one of its centers of domestication. Recent studies showed the existence of two wild gene pools (MI and MII) of this species in Mexico and suggested that their genetic divergence occurred in southeast Mexico.</p><p><strong>Question</strong><em>. </em>Did MI and MII groups diverged around the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico?</p><p><strong>Studied species</strong><em>. </em>Lima bean: Neotropical plant species, herbaceous, with an annual/short life cycle and with autogamous tendency.</p><p><strong>Study site and years of study</strong><em>. </em>Seven wild populations were collected in 2012 in the State of Chiapas, México, area underrepresented in previous studies.</p><p><strong>Methods</strong><em>. </em>Genetic diversity and grouping patterns of collected populations and their relationship to MI and MII groups were analyzed at eight microsatellite loci.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>. High genetic structure (<em>F</em><sub>ST</sub>: 0.42 to 0.96) and a high level of genetic diversity (<em>H</em><sub>E </sub>= 0.48) were found. The analyses, and presence of admixed populations in MI and MII, suggested that the genetic divergence of these groups is an ongoing process centered around the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong><em>. </em>Our results support the hypothesis that MI and MII groups diverged around the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; however, sampling should be increased both at population and genomic levels, to determine the precise organization of the genetic diversity of wild <em>P. lunatus</em> from Mexico.</p>

Abstract Brazil is one of the countries with the greatest genetic diversity in lima beans ( Phaseolus lunatus L.), which has been maintained both on farm and in germplasm banks. The knowledge of this diversity in the country is extremely important for developing a strategy for use and conservation. The objective of this study was characterizing landraces lima bean accessions from different regions in Brazil . Twenty two accessions conserved in the Phaseolus Germplasm Bank from UFPI (Piauí-Brazil) were characterized with 37 agro-morphological descriptors and 15 microsatellite markers. In the agro-morphological characterization, the maximum value of genetic divergence was obtained for the pair UFPI-262 and UFPI-252 (D = 88.74). The UPGMA grouping made it possible to form four groups. Tocher's optimization method enabled the formation of 10 groups. Regarding molecular characterization, 10 loci presented polymorphism, and the number of alleles per locus varied from two to seven. The Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) varied from 0.0767 to 0.7240. The loci GATS91 and PVat001 were highly informative and can be indicate for further studies involving the lima bean. The genetic diversity found (He = 0.316) was higher than that reported in the Yucatán Peninsula, a region indicated as a center of diversity for lima bean. Thus, the agro-morphological and molecular characterization were efficient in quantifying the genetic divergence between the studied accessions. The data found in this research provide a valuable resource for geneticists to subsidize breeding programs involving the lima bean.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata ssp unguiculata), yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp sesquipedalis), Bambara groundnut (V.subterranea), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), bush bean (P. vulgaris), jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) and winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) are the important pod vegetable of the legume crop in Indonesia. These crops have a high economic and nutritional value. Its dry seeds are rich in proteins just like soybeans that can support human health and future food supply. The genetic diversity among different pod vegetables is not very well known. The objectives of this research were to determine the genetic relationships among different pod vegetable species based on ISSR markers. 32 accessions were analyzed by 11 ISSR primers. The result showed that the ISSR marker generated 80 DNA band with the polymorphism rate of 100% and the informative primers were PKBT 3 and PKBT 6. The result of cluster analysis and PCA analysis grouped all 32 accessions of the vegetable pod into eight clusters, indicating that the majority of the accession of a given species tend to group. Gower's similarity coefficient among all accessions varied from 0.425 to 0.988, and from 0.444 to 0.700 at the species level. The ISSR markers revealed the close relatedness between V. subterranea - C. ensiformis species, while the greatest distance was found between the P. vulgaris - M. pruriens species. Such a determination of relatedness is useful for a better understanding of the relationships among different pod vegetable species, which are generally considered to be a complex group with high phenotypic variability.   Keywords: clustering, genetic distance, polymorphism, pulses, similarity coefficient

Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is one of the important legume vegetables in Indonesia. However, genetic information for these plants is still minimalized, especially on Timor Island. This study aims to analyze the genetic diversity of lima beans from Timor Island based on ISSR molecular markers. A total of 4 accessions of lima beans were analyzed using 3 ISSR primers to produce 15 polymorphic bands with an average of 68.18% polymorphism. The cluster analysis results use the Unweighted Pair Group Methods using Arithmetic averages (UPGMA) method to create a dendrogram that produces two main clusters. There were plain seed and pattern seed group with a similarity coefficient of 0.52. These results indicated that the genetic variation of the lima beans from Timor Island was high. Moreover, the result provides a sutable method for evaluating the genetic diversity of lima beans using the ISSR marker and important information of future lima bean breeding programs.
