Effect of the environment on zinc and iron levels in common beans.

Abstract

To characterize Zn and Fe high content promising bean lines concerning genotype x environment (GxE) interaction, those mineral contents have to be evaluated for a certain number of years in various locations and cropping seasons to get a reliable estimate of that interaction. That procedure would allow the identification of genotypes with high stability for those nutrient contents, giving more confidence to breeders when new biofortified cultivars are to be released
