SSR and GBS based GWAS study for identification of QTLs associated with nutritional elemental in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

•Phosphorous, Potassium, Boron and Sulphur are the important nutritional elements for overall growth and development of plants and animals. Common bean is considered as one of the rich source of these nutritional elements.•Our study established inventory of these nutritional elements of common bean germplasm.•QTLs significantly contributing for accumulation of these nutritional elements in common bean have been reported for the first time in our study. This will pave a way towards development of high yielding nutritionally rich common bean varieties.
