    Large seeded Andean dry beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are most preferred in Africa. However, low soil fertility and increasing drought stress conditions due to climate change are among the challenges faced by farmers in this region. The purpose of this study was to identify Andean genotypes with yield stability and to identify the best environments for selection of this trait. GGE-Biplot analysis was used to examine 183 Andean bean genotypes in Tanzania. Results indicated significant environment (E), genotype (G) and genotype x environment (GE) effects for seed yield. The environment explained 46%, genotype 20%, and GE 34% of the total (G + E + GE) variation. Two principal components explained 41.21% (PC1) and 26.35% (PC2) of GGE sum of squares. The Andean genotypes, ADP-102 (Jessica)- purple mottle, large seed, bush plant habit,\ua0released by Selian Agriculture Research Institution (ARI) in Tanzania; ADP-220 (G5625)- red, large seed, vine plant habit, from Central America; ADP-276 (G13654) - brown, medium seed, vine, from Mexico; and ADP-648 (\u2018Red Kloud\u2019) large red kidney, with bush plant habit, were stable across environments and can be recommended for general adaptation across environments. An individual location for selection for yield stability was not identified, thus justifying the continued need for multiple test sites.Les haricots secs andins \ue0 grosses graines ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) sont les plus pr\ue9f\ue9r\ue9s en Afrique.

    Crop losses can be severe when susceptible large-seeded Andean dry and green bean cultivars are planted early in dry areas with a history of curly top caused by Beet curly top virus (BCTV) and closely related species. In order to assess the level of curly top resistance in 65 diverse dry and green bean genotypes, seed was planted in a commercial field in Kimberly, ID in 2007. Viruliferous beet leafhoppers were released approximately 3 weeks after emergence to generate an artificial epiphytotic. Plants were rated on a scale of 1-5 (1 = healthy, 5 = highly susceptible) 5 weeks after infestation and verified at fully developed pod stage (R8). Capri and UI 51 were among the most susceptible genotypes, while A 429, DOR 390, DOR 500, and G 2402 did not exhibit any symptoms. In general, breeding lines and cultivars with known resistance to Bean golden mosaic virus and Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (except Morales) were resistant to moderately resistant to BCTV. Additional testing will be required to verify the resistance followed by research to determine the evolutionary origin of the genes for resistance to these viruses

    Abiotic stress tolerance in dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is complex. Increased population sizes are contributing to finding QTL conditioning stress response but phenotyping has not kept pace with high throughput genotyping for such studies. Our objectives were to determine effectiveness of 20 most tolerant and 20 most susceptible lines representing phenotypic extremes from a RIL population (‘Buster’ x \u27Roza’ [BR]) to facilitate examination of 19 traits for relevance to stress response and to validate existing QTL conditioning stress response. Using phenotypic extremes tested across multiple trials, eight of the 19 traits were clearly associated with drought stress. Pod wall ratio (PW), plant biomass by weight or a visual rating, and greenness index (NDVI) were most associated with seed yield (SY) under stress followed by phenology traits. The phenotypic extreme lines were also useful for validating QTL previously identified in the whole RIL population conditioning SY, seed weight (SW) and days to flower (DF), harvest maturity (HM), and seed fill (DSF). New QTL were identified for biomass, PW, and NDVI which co-segregated with major QTL for seed yield SY1.1BR and SY2.1BR. The preliminary finding of NDVI 1.1BR supports aerial imaging in larger genetic populations geared toward QTL analysis of stress response. In summary, phenotypic extremes helped sort through traits relevant to stress response in the Buster x Roza RIL population and verified the effect of two major QTL in response to terminal drought

    A periodic comparison of cultivars is essential to assess selection gains, determine deficiencies, define objectives, and set breeding priorities. Our objective was to assess the progress, or lack thereof, achieved in improving yield, plant type, maturity, and resistance to major bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases of dry bean of the western USA from 1918 to 1998. Twenty-five great northern, pink, pinto, and red cultivars were evaluated for seed yield at three locations in Idaho and for anthracnose, Bean common mosaic virus, Bean common mosaic necrosis virus, common and halo bacterial blights, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia root rots, Fusarium wilt, and white mold in Colorado, Idaho, and Washington between 1999 and 2006. Yield ranged between 2904 kg ha-1 for pinto 'UI 111' to 3921 kg ha- 1 for 'Bill Z', which represents a 35% gain in 54 yr. Yield gain in great northern was 587 kg ha-1 , pink 136 kg ha-1 , and red 687 kg ha- 1 . Stability indices ranged from 0.57 for 'Kodiak' to 1.86 for 'UI 3'. Maturity ranged from 90 d for 'UI 320' to 97 d for 'Frontier'. Seed weight ranged from 28 g for 'Viva' to 41 g for UI 320. An acceptable degree of resistance to Rhizoctonia root rot was achieved in most cultivars. All cultivars were susceptible to anthracnose, common bacterial blight, and white mold, and all except 'Chase' to halo blight. Only 'Matterhorn', 'Weihing', and Kodiak combined an upright Type II growth habit with resistance to BCMV and rust. An integrated breeding strategy should be explored for simultaneous improvement of multiple traits in future cultivars

    The role of molecular markers in breeding for qualitative and quantitative traits of common bean

    Improving selection efficiency through indirect selection is an attractive alternative to plant breeders working to improve qualitative and quantitative traits of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L). For the successful application of indirect selection, tight linkages must be developed between simple selectable genetic markers and an economically important gene or quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling a complex trait. Although indirect selection for qualitative traits appears most promising, direct selection for major gene traits may in certain cases be easier, faster and more cost effective. However, indirect selection of race-specific disease resistance genes offers breeders a viable alternative to ensure that favorable gene combinations are present in new cultivars. Simplifying the selection of complex traits using QTL analysis with linked markers would permit selection in the absence of the pathogen or in locations where trait expression is variable. Combining different mechanisms for resistance is only possible using markers when the phenotypic expression is similar after disease inoculation. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers tightly linked to individual race-specific resistance genes forms the basis for effective indirect selection for durable genetic resistance. Over 30 RAPD markers linked to 17 major genes which condition resistance to four pathogens of common bean nave been found. In addition, markers associated with QTL conditioning resistance to the three diseases (bean golden mosaic virus, common bacterial blight and web blight) of major importance in the tropics have been identified. These tightly linked RAPD markers have potential to facilitate the efficient selection of complex traits and pyramiding of epistemic resistance genes against different pathogens of common bean. Limitations to marker-assisted selection and the value of genetic mapping and QTL analysis in improving the efficiency of bean breeding programs are discussed.Mejorar la eficiencia de selección de caracteres cualitativos y cuantitativos del frijol común (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) a través de la selección indirecta es una opción atractiva para los mejoradores. Para la aplicación exitosa de la selección indirecta, debe desarrollarse los ligamentos estrechos entre los marcadores genéticos simples seleccionables y un gen económicamente importante o un locus de caracter cuantitativo (QTL). Aunque la selección indirecta de caracteres cualitativos parece ser más prometedora, la selección directa de caracteres cualitativos en algunos casos puede ser más fácil, más rápida y más barata. Sin embargo, la selección indirecta de genes de resistencia específica a las razas de un patógeno variable ofrecen a los mejoradores una alternative viable para asegurar que las combinaciones favorables de genes esten presentes en los nuevos cultivares. Simplificando la selección de caracteres complejos usando marcadores ligados a QTL permitirá la selección en ausencia del patógeno o en localidades donde la expresión del caracter de expresión es variable. La combinación de diferentes mecanismos de resistencia es sólo posible usando marcadores cuando la expresión fenotípica es similar a la obtenida después de la inoculación con el patógeno. Los marcadores RAPDs (Random amplified polymorphic DNA) estrechamente ligados a genes individuales de resistencia a razas especificas de un patógeno, forman la base para la selección indirecta y efectiva de una resistencia genética durable. Más de 30 marcadores RAPD ligados a 17 genes principales que controlan la resistencia a cuatro patógenos de frijol común han sido identificados. Además, marcadores asociados con QTL que controlan la resistencia a tres enfermedades (virus de mosaico dorado, bacteriosis común y mustia hilachosa) de gran importancia en los trópicos también han sido identificados. Estos marcadores RAPD estrechamente ligados, pueden ser utilizados en la selección eficiente de caracteres complejos y en la acumulación (piramidar) de genes de resistencia epistática contra diferentes patógenos del frijol común. Las limitaciones de selección con marcadores moleculares, el valor del mapeo genético y del análisis de QTL para mejorar la eficiencia de selección en frijol son discutidos

    Registration of Common Bacterial Blight Resistant Pinto Bean Germplasm Line ABCP-8

    Pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm line ABCP-8 (Reg. no. GP-237, PI 635118) was developed by the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division in cooperation with USDA-ARS and released in 2004. This line was bred specifically for enhanced resistnace to common bacterial blight [caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Smith) Dye]. Pinto and other dry bean market classes (dark red kidney, great northern, navy, etc.) grown in the U.S.A. east of the continental divide are often attacked by common bacterial blight, a seed-transmitted disease that causes up to 40% yield loss in susceptible cultivars as well as reduction of seed quality through discoloration of infected seed. Development of cultivars with genetic resistance combined from different sources is the most cost effective method to control common bacterial blight
