TL;DR: The Andean domesticated race Nueva Granada had the highest FST value and widest geographic distribution compared to other domesticated races, suggesting a very recent origin or a selection event, presumably associated with a determinate growth habit, which predominates in this race.

TL;DR: Most Mesoamerican domesticated accessions clustered in a single group, suggesting a single domestication, and the most closely related wild beans to the domesticated clade originated from a restricted region in the Rio Lerma–Rio Grande de Santiago basin in west-central Mexico, distinct from the Balsas basin.

TL;DR: Although each of the determinacy haplotypes probably does not represent distinct domestication events, they are consistent with the multiple (seven) domestication pattern in the genus Phaseolus.

TL;DR: This study attempted to identify Phaseolus vulgaris homologues of 12 Arabidopsis genes that are involved in meristem identity determination and the photoperiod-dependent and autonomous flowering pathways and identified 7 of which could be mapped onto the common bean-linkage map using the BAT93 x Jalo EEP 558 and Midas x G12873 recombinant inbred populations.

TL;DR: The conflict analysis demonstrated that ILS, hybridization, and allopolyploidy could explain the widespread nuclear gene tree discordance and a historical biogeographic analysis integrating living and fossil data supported a widespread East Asian-western North American origin of Malus s.l.
