Genes flanqueados por microssatélites em feijoeiro comum (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) relacionados as características agronômicas da cultura

Abstract

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a widely cultivated legume crop, playing a crucial role in global food security. Significant production in Brazil highlights its economic and social importance, especially in family farming. Genetic improvement is essential to improve characteristics such as disease resistance and tolerance to water deficit. This work aimed to use seven microsatellite markers to identify flanking genes related to agronomic traits, using the Phytozome genomic database. The objectives included the identification of transcripts and genomic sequences. The work was conducted in silico, using microsatellite markers previously identified in the literature. The results showed that two markers, PV35 and X57022, flanked genes of interest, providing the possibility of more in-depth studies on genetic variation. The gene Phvul.007G199100, associated with protein phosphatase 2C, was identified and characterized. These results contribute to the advancement of knowledge about common bean, offering valuable data for future research into genetic improvement.
