3. Conclusion

A wide variation in growth and yield of P. vulgaris landraces discussed in this review will enable a possible breeding selection for leaf consumption based on bigger and soft-textured leaves. A selection for green beans can be on pod size, texture, and yield. Further, selection for dry beans can be based on seed yield, size, taste, and cooking time, to name a few. Breeding for resistance toward pests and diseases can be enhanced on landraces with resistant genes.
