MORALES-SOTO, Arianna  and  LAMZ-PIEDRA, Alexis. Genetic improvement methods in the cultivation of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) against the Bean Yellow Golden Mosaic Virus (BGYMV). cultrop [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.4  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1819-4087.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important crops in Latin America, within the legumes due to the high content of nutrients it has, its production has been limited by the presence of multiple diseases, highlighting among them Bean Yellow Gold Mosaic Virus (BGYMV). Genetic improvement has allowed the efficient use of available genetic material, incorporating new resistance genes to this disease in our country, in order to generate cultivars with high genetic resistance. Molecular marker technology has revolutionized these programs, serving as a fundamental tool in the identification and selection of these genes for crop improvement.

Keywords : beans; molecular markers; virus resistance.
