Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is a grain legume, native to the Andean region, whose usefulness lies in the protein content in its seed (between 20 and 22 percent). Bacteria known as rhizobia live in symbiosis with the lima bean, forming nodules in which they fix atmospheric nitrogen. It is of great importance for the Ica region, due to the area it occupies, its great adaptability to edaphoclimatic conditions and the production of grains with particular culinary characteristics, counting for this reason, with apellation of origin; but its diversity has not been sufficiently analyzed. In order to determine the genetic diversity of the lima bean and its native symbionts, the morphological and molecular characterization of 30 lima bean genotypes from five provinces of the coast of Peru was carried out, and the probable most frequent genera of native symbiotic bacteria were determined by growth time and biochemical analysis. The principal component analysis shows that the first five explain 86.5 percent of the total variation, of which PC1 with 36.7 percent of the variation was defined by the variables weight of 100 grains, width, length, and grain thickness, days to pod maturity and days to 50 percent flowering. At a genetic distance coefficient of 0.5, the lima bean genotypes formed four defined groups; showing an important diversity expressed in the pattern of growth, days to flowering and maturity of pods, shape and size of seed. 141 polymorphic loci were found, ranging from 10 to 30 fragments, the polymorphism index content (PIC) varies from 0.18 to 38. 235 rhizobia strains were isolated, of which 6.81 percent were very fast growing, unidentified; 32.34 percent fast-growing, probably Rhizobium; 57.87 percent slow growing, probably Bradyrhizobium and 2.98 percent extra slow growing, unidentified. It is concluded that there is an important morphological diversity in the lima bean, although the molecular variability of the population is low; in the symbiotic nodules analyzed, the bacteria of the genus Bradyrhizobium were more frequent.
