Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the major legume crop produced in East and Central Africa (ECA) providing a vital source of nutrition and income to millions of small-holder farmers. Unfortunately common bean productivity can be influenced negatively by a range of biotic and abiotic factors. Angular leafspot (ALS), caused by the fungal pathogen Pseudocercospora griseola is a primary cause of yield losses in ECA and outbreaks of the disease can result in nutritional and financial poverty for growers and their families. Bean Enhance is a translational research project that will exploit established Ugandan pathogenomics resources for the common bean angular leafspot pathogen, aligning them with ongoing disease resistance breeding programmes at CIAT-Uganda and expanding them so local plant pathologists can monitor the movement of isolates in Tanzania as well as Uganda, and to enable plant breeders to test the response to key sources of resistance in order to deploy regionally relevant or more durable varieties in the future. This will allow important ALS isolates to be tracked effectively, allowing growers to make better variety choices to avoid losses to disease. Reductions in disease will contribute effectively to improve socio-economic stability in Tanzania and Uganda by increasing small-holder incomes, and through promoting legumes as a sustainable crop in agricultural rotations. The project will also develop effective testing and certification procedures for supplying disease-free basic seed to common bean producers through implementing a series of workshops in Tanzania and Uganda to train key actors in the seed production pipeline; this will include members of grower/producer groups, the seed production industry, extensions services and the government to ensure knowledge can be disseminated to the greatest relevant audience and translated to achieve the greatest impact possible.

常见的豆（叶状球）是东非和中非（ECA）生产的主要豆类作物，为数百万的小型农民提供了至关重要的营养和收入来源。不幸的是，常见的豆生产率可能会受到一系列生物和非生物因素的负面影响。由真菌病原体伪前孢子菌造成的角叶（ALS）是ECA造成产量损失的主要原因，并且疾病爆发可能导致种植者及其家人的营养和财务贫困。 Bean Enhance is a translational research project that will exploit established Ugandan pathogenomics resources for the common bean angular leafspot pathogen, aligning them with ongoing disease resistance breeding programmes at CIAT-Uganda and expanding them so local plant pathologists can monitor the movement of isolates in Tanzania as well as Uganda, and to enable plant breeders to test the response to key sources of resistance in order to deploy regionally relevant or more durable varieties 将来。这将使重要的ALS分离株有效地跟踪，从而使种植者可以做出更好的多种选择，以避免疾病损失。疾病的减少将有效地通过增加小持有人的收入，以及促进豆类作为农业旋转的可持续作物，从而有效地改善坦桑尼亚和乌干达的社会经济稳定。该项目还将开发有效的测试和认证程序，以通过在坦桑尼亚和乌干达实施一系列研讨会来为普通豆类生产商提供无疾病的基本种子，以在种子生产管道中培训关键演员；这将包括种植/生产者团体，种子生产行业，扩展服务和政府的成员，以确保知识可以传播到最大的相关受众并进行翻译以实现最大的影响。
