Breeding Bean
Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of the family "fabaceae"
(alternately "leguminosae") used for human food or animal feed.
The whole young pods of bean plants, if picked before the pods ripen and dry, are very tender
and may be eaten cooked or raw. Thus the term "green beans" means "green" in the sense of
unripe (many are in fact not green in color). In some cases, the beans inside the pods of "green
beans" are too small to comprise a significant part of the cooked fruit.
Bean Phaseolus vulgaris Chromosome number 22
Terminology
The term "bean" originally referred to the seed of the broad bean, but was later epanded to
include members of the genus "phaseolus," such as the common beanand the runner bean, and
the related genus "!igna." The term is now applied generally to many other related plants such
as soybeans,peas,lentils, chickpeas(garbanos),vetches, and lupins.
"Bean" can be used as a synonym of "pulse," an edible legume, though the term "pulses" is
usually reserved for leguminous crops harvested for their dry grain, and usually ecludes cropsused mainly for oil etraction (such as soybeans and peanuts) or those used eclusively for
sowingpurposes (such as cloverand alfalfa). #eguminous crops harvested green for food, such
as snap peas,snow peas, and so on, are classified as vegetable crops.
In $nglish usage, the word "bean" is also sometimes used to refer to the seeds or pods of plants
that are not in the family leguminosae, but which bear a superficial resemblance to true beans%%
for eample coffee beans, castor beansand cocoa beans(which resemble bean seeds), and vanilla
beans(which resemble the pods).
Beans are one of the longest%cultivated plants. Broad beans, with seeds the sie of the small
fingernail, were gathered in their wild state in &fghanistanand the 'imalayan foothills. In a
form improved from naturally occurring types, they were grown in Thailand already since the
early seventh millennium (B), predating ceramics. They were deposited with the dead in

ancient $gypt. ot until the second millennium B did cultivated, large%seeded broad beans
appear in the &egean, Iberia and transalpine $urope. In the "Iliad" (late%*th century) is a passing
mention of beans and chickpeascast on the threshing floor.+-
The oldest%known domesticated beans in the &mericas were found in uitarrero ave, an
archaeological site in /eru, and dated to around the second millennium B$.
Beans were an important source of proteinthroughout 0ld and ew 1orld history, and still are
today. There are over ,222cultivarsof bean on record in the 3nited 4tates alone.
5ost of the kinds commonly eaten fresh come from the &mericas, being first seen by a $uropean
when hristopher olumbus,during his eploration, of what may have been the Bahamas, found
them growing in fields. 6ive kinds of Phaseolusbeans were domesticated by pre%olumbian
peoples7 common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) grown from hile to the northern part of what is
now the 3nited 4tates, and lima and sieva beans (Phaseolus lunatus), as well as the less widely
distributed teparies (Phaseolus acutifolius), scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) and
polyanthus beans (Phaseolus polyanthus)+8- 0ne especially famous use of beans by pre%
olumbian people as far north as the &tlantic seaboard is the "Three 4isters" method of
companion plantcultivation7
0n the east coast of what would come to be called the 3nited 4tates, some tribes would grow
maie(corn), beans, and s9uashintermingled together, a system which had originated in 5eico.
The corn would not be planted in rows as it is today, but in a checkerboard:he fashion across a
field, in separate patches of one to four stalks each.
Beans would be planted around the base of the developing stalks, and would vine their way up as
the stalks grew. &ll &merican beans at that time were vine plants, "bush beans" having been bred
only more recently. The cornstalks would work as a trellis for the beans, and the beans would
provide much%needed nitrogenfor the corn.
49uash would then be planted in the spaces between the patches of corn in the field. They would
be provided slight shelter from the sun by the corn, and would deter many animals from
attacking the corn and beans because their coarse, hairy vines and broad, stiff leaves are difficult
or uncomfortable for animals such as deer and raccoons to walk through, crows to land on, etc.

Nutrition
Beans have significant amounts of fiber and soluble fiber, with one cup of cooked beans
providing between nine and grams of fiber. 4oluble fiber can help lower blood cholesterol.
Beans are also high inprotein, comple carbohydrates,folate, and iron.
Flatulence
5any edible beans, including broad beans and soybeans, contain oligosaccharides(particularly
raffinose and stachyose), a type of sugar molecule also found in cabbage. &n anti%
oligosaccharide enyme is necessary to properly digest these sugar molecules. &s a normal
human digestive tract does not contain any anti%oligosaccharide enymes, consumed
oligosaccharides are typically digested by bacteriain the large intestine. This digestion process
produces flatulence%causing gases as a byproduct. This aspect of bean digestion is the basis for
the childrenGs rhymes "Beans, Beans, the 5usical 6ruit".
4ome species of mold produce alpha%galactosidase, an anti%oligosaccharide enyme, which
humans can take to facilitate digestion of oligosaccharides in the small intestine. This enyme,
currently sold in the 3nited 4tates under the brand%name Beano, can be added to food or
consumed separately. In many cuisines beans are cooked along with natural carminativessuch as
aniseseeds, corianderseeds and cumin.
0ther strategies include soaking beans in water for several hours before miing them with other
ingredients to remove the offending sugars. 4ometimes vinegaris added, but only after the beans
are cooked as vinegar interferes with the beansD softening.
6ermented beans will usually not produce most of the intestinal problems that unfermented beans
will, since yeast can consume the offending sugars.
Breeding
&doption of common bean breeding practices represents one of the most important strategies for
evaluating grain yield. 'owever, the success of common breeding programmes is intimately
related to the appropriate choice of divergent parents, which when crossed, must provide wide
