This review reframes P. vulgaris as a breeding target defined by ecosystem function rather than by yield alone, synthesizing evidence on functional biology, biological nitrogen fixation, rhizosphere microbiome assembly and soil ecosystem engineering to identify the trait complexes that ecosystem-oriented breeding programs must select for. We examine the constraints limiting expression of these traits under organic management, including weed competition, biotic and abiotic stress, nutrient limitation, and the scarcity of cultivars and certified seed adapted to low-input environments, and evaluate the agroecological management practices, resource-use efficiency metrics and emerging technologies\u2014spanning precision agriculture, phenomics, molecular breeding, genome editing and microbiome engineering\u2014that can accelerate their genetic improvement. Central to this synthesis is a paradigm shift in breeding objectives: common bean is conceptualized as a holobiont whose performance emerges from coordinated plant\u2013microbiome interaction, requiring breeding programs to select explicitly for nitrogen-fixation efficiency, root system architecture, rhizosphere recruitment capacity, nutrient-use efficiency and multi-stress resilience as heritable, ecosystem-oriented traits. We conclude by outlining priority breeding research directions integrating genomics, phenomics, envirotyping and rhizosphere ecology, positioning common bean breeding as a strategic lever for the transition toward regenerative, climate-smart organic agriculture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15182884","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]],"date-time":"2026-09-21T11:05:53Z","timestamp":1789988753000},"page":"2884","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Beyond Nitrogen Fixation: Multifunctional Roles of Common Bean in Organic Agroecosystems and Ecosystem-Oriented Breeding Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3316-168X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dan Ioan","family":"Avasiloaiei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vegetable Research and Development Station, Calea Barladului Street, no. 220, 600388 Bacau, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0989-5846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"Calara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vegetable Research and Development Station, Calea Barladului Street, no. 220, 600388 Bacau, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petre Marian","family":"Brezeanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vegetable Research and Development Station, Calea Barladului Street, no. 220, 600388 Bacau, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3860-119X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Pipan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Group for Plant Genetics and Breeding, Crop Science Department, Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, Hacquetova ulica 17, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6123-8085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lovro","family":"Sinkovi\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Group for Plant Genetics and Breeding, Crop Science Department, Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, Hacquetova ulica 17, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3352-3081","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Creola","family":"Brezeanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vegetable Research and Development Station, Calea Barladului Street, no. 220, 600388 Bacau, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"911","DOI":"10.1007\/s13593-014-0277-7","article-title":"Ecological Principles Underlying the Increase of Productivity Achieved by Cereal-Grain Legume Intercrops in Organic Farming.
