The marked pbenotypic differences for morphological and physiological traits that distinguish wild progenitors and cultivated descendants (“the domestication syndrome”) and the lack of information about their genetic control have limited the utilization of wild germplasm for crop involvement. This study was conducted to assess the genetic control of the domestication syndrome in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A recombinant inbred population resulting from a cross between a wild and a cultivated common bean was subjected to molecular linkage mapping and evaluation in short‐day and long‐day environments. We show that the genetic control of this syndrome in common bean involves genes that can have a large effect (>25–30%) and account for a substantial part of the phenotypic variation observed (>40–50%). The distribution of domestication syndrome genes appears to be concentrations in three …
