Research Progress on Genetic Diversity of Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Germplasm Resources in China.

In this paper, we reviewed the classification, genetic diversity and planting and application of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) germplasm resources in China at the present stage were, analyzed the bottleneck of snap bean research in China, and prospected the development trend of snap bean germplasm research in the future. In the opportunity of the completion of the whole genome sequencing of kidney bean and the construction of high-density genetic map, it is necessary to strengthen the application of ISSR, SNP and other molecular methods and high-throughput proteomics to the study on the specific breeding of snap bean.
