ABSTRACT
Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common beans), a legume, is essential for feeding the world's growing population. Common beans are grown in various agroclimatic conditions globally but are prone to abiotic and biotic stresses that limit their productivity. Abiotic stresses include heat and cold stress, moisture stress, and salt stress, with drought stress and salinity stress detrimental to the common bean's growth. By modifying certain traits in response to a specific stress, crop plants, such as common beans, may withstand abiotic stresses. Breeders are constantly attempting to develop abiotic stress-tolerant Phaseolus vulgaris L. through innovative approaches. Plant breeders have developed a variety of resistant cultivars of common beans against specific abiotic stresses. This review discusses several abiotic stressors, tolerance mechanisms, and breeding for common bean abiotic stress tolerance. Keywords: abiotic stresses, common beans, drought stress, tolerance
