The common bean weevil can infest beans in the field or in storage. In this study, we distinguished between farms with low and high levels of infestation at the time of harvest. Finally, the researchers used statistical analyses to find genetic signals–called markers–that are more common in the DNA of bean plants resistant to weevils. To learn more about the genetics of weevil resistance in the common bean, Kamfwa and his colleagues used bean plants derived from an initial mating between a weevil-resistant and a weevil-susceptible variety of common bean. 0000002238 00000 n Weevil infestations can spread rapidly and lead to significant losses of bean crops.
