Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) - Pulses

Molecular characterization of 46 bean accessions selected based on morphological diversity and representing maximum variability in phaseolin, lectins, and alpha-amylase inhibitors as well as a range of seed coat colors. Seeds were obtained from the Future Seeds genebank collection (44 accessions) and two P. vulgaris cultivars chosen by CIAT Bean Program located in Palmira, Colombia. Accessions were distributed among three species as follows: 35 accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris (Common bean) from the core collection (Tohme et al., 1995), 7 accessions of Phaseolus lunatus (Lima bean), and 4 accessions of Phaseolus acutifolius (Tepary bean). Between 30-50g of seeds were obtained from each accession according to the genebank availability. Bean accessions metadata was extracted from the Genesys web portal (https://www.genesys-pgr.org/) and is included in the data repository for this article.
The plant material was obtained in compliance with all relevant international and national regulations, following the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and transferred under a Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA). For the three Colombian accessions (G26506, G4691, and G7309), we subscribed Addendum No. 17 to Contract No. 212 of 2018 under the Framework Agreement for Access to Genetic Resources and Their Derived Products, granted by the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS).
The dataset includes raw data from the different omics platforms, including metabolomics, proteomics, ionomics, FAMEs, and macronutrients.
