En terminos generales, todas las muestras de Phaseolus vulgaris analizadas comparten varios atributos: forma reniforme; color rojo oscuro; textura lisa y lustrosa; presencia de hilo, arilo y caruncula. En cuanto a la predominancia del color rojo oscuro, este se debe al reducido tamano de la muestra que consideramos en el trabajo, la cual se encuentra acotada geograficamente al Noroeste argentino; como se ha mencionado anteriormente, las semillas de Phaseolus vulgaris son muy variables en cuanto a forma, color y patron (Berglund-Brucher & Brucher, 1976; Gentry, 1969; Gepts, 2006-2007).
