A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Hannah R. Jeffery, Marcelo Efrén Murillo‐Quesada, Luis Barboza‐Barquero, Karen Cichy

“…The current evidence suggests that cooking time is increased by genetic factors that decrease the amount of soluble compounds in the cotyledons, including but not limited to 1) genes that increase the abundance of calcium‐binding storage proteins and/or de‐methylesterfied pectins paired with high inter‐ or intra‐cellular calcium levels (higher calcium levels can be caused by reduced levels of phytate) and 2) genes that increase insoluble condensed tannin/lignin content in the cotyledon cell walls. …”
