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.
