The period following the second world war has witnessed an
expanding commitment to incr~ased food production in tropical
countries. Public and private initiatives at the national and
international levels have led to the creation of programs geared
specifically towards the improvement of food crops in tropical
conditions. Examples of this increased commitment are the network
of international agricultural research centers and numerous
bilateral aid projects. As a consequence, crop improvement has
become a truly worldwide endeavor, relying on an international
network of institutions and collaborators. This holds also for
Phaseolus beans. Following the discovery of the Americas, Phaseolus
beans became distributed on all six continents. Yet, until not so
long ago, most of the research on Phaseolus improvement took place
in developed countries. In recognition of the nutritional
importance of Phaseolus beans in developing countries, this has
changed considerably in the last years, principally perhaps through
the activities of the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical
(CIAT) and the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources
(IBPGR). Consequently, the scope of the research on Phaseolus has
broadened considerably and the number of Phaseolus researchers is
larger than ever before.
