Awesome! I feel like these post keep attracting the right people and I’m all for it! More collaborators to make Super diverse epic lima bean landrace happen!
Definitely! Most of the xerophyte dry adapted plants have big root tubers that go deep into the ground for a reason, I don’t think it’s pure coincidence.
If you are working with Phaseolus a good sign you have something interesting going on with the roots is if the cotyledons germinate above ground or below ground.
All the root tuber species of Phaseolus germinate below ground.
