Bean Clause Samples

Bean. The bean collection maintained by CIAT comprises almost 36,000 accessions, of which approximately 90% are Phaseolus vulgaris. The collection also has significant numbers of accessions of P. coccineus, P. lunatus and P. polyanthus as well as smaller numbers of accessions of many other wild Phaseolus species. Overall, the cost of maintaining accessions of wild species is not significantly greater than that of accessions of cultivated species. Fifty percent of the collection is held in long-term storage, and regeneration is ongoing to bring the rest of the collection into long-term conservation (see Section 4).
