	Bean Information
		Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed.
		Bean originally meant the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna.
		Bean can be used as a near synonym of pulse, an edible legume, though the term "pulses" is usually reserved for leguminous crops harvested for their dry grain.

		Determine whether there is a strong correlation between the coat protein sequences of potyviruses that infect bean and the three distinct types of response they elicit on bean cultivars carrying the I gene.
		Bean plants containing the I gene show temperature-dependent or temperature-independent resistance to certain members of the potyvirus group and are fully susceptible to others; sequence similarity in the coat protein (CP) and 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the different viruses may correlate with similar responses on I-gene bean plants.
