Dietary fiber (DF) has been shown to be an important component in the human diet and intake is related to reduced incidence of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Seed from dry bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in Colorado and North Dakota as part of the Common Bean Coordinated Agricultural Project (Bean CAP) were analyzed for DF using the AOAC 2011.25 method. Genome wide association studies were conducted to identify genomic regions that control traits associated with total DF and oligosaccharide content. TD ranged from 22.8 to 30.2 % and oligosaccharide content 3.70 to 5.45%, repectively.
