The study looked at dolichos beans to see which traits are linked to higher green pod yields. They found that traits like 100 seed weight, pod length, and number of pods per inflorescence are positively related to yield. This means that selecting plants with these traits could lead to higher yields. The weight of 100 seeds had the biggest direct impact on yield, followed by other traits like pod length and vine length. The presence of a virus had an indirect effect on some of these traits. Overall, the study suggests that focusing on specific traits could help develop dolichos bean plants that produce more green pods.
