Authors: L.N.S. Santos, P.D.S. Cabral, G.A.R. Neves, F.R. Alves, M.B. Teixeira1, F.N. Cunha1 N.F. Silva
The availability of common bean cultivars tolerant to Meloidogyne javanica is limited in Brazil. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the reactions of 33 common bean genotypes (23 landrace, 8 commercial, 1 susceptible standard and 1 resistant standard) to M. javanica, employing multivariate statistics to discriminate the ..

Genetic diversity and selection of common bean lines based on technological quality and biofortification
Authors: S. de M. Steckling, N.D. Ribeiro, F.D. Arns, H.C. Mezzomo, M.T.D.F. Possobom
The development of common bean cultivars with high technological quality that are biofortified with minerals, is required to meet the demand for food with health benefits. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether common bean genotypes differ in terms of technological and mineral biofortification traits, to study t.. Read More»

Epistasis in intra- and inter-gene pool crosses of the common bean
Authors: J.C. Borel1, M.A.P. Ramalho2 and A.F.B. Abreu3
Epistasis has been shown to have an important role in the genetic control of several quantitative traits in the common bean. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of epistasis in intra- and inter-pool gene crosses of the common bean. Four elite lines adapted to Brazilian conditions were used as parents, two from the Andean gene pool (ESAL 686; BR.. Read More»

Snap bean recommendation based on different methods of phenotypic stability
Authors: C.D. Marinho G.A. Gravina L.C. Ara�ºjo S.N.C. Almeida A.T. Amaral J�ºnior R.F. Daher L.S.A. Gon�§alves
In order to recommend the best strains of snap beans from the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) breeding program, different methods of analysis of phenotypic stability were adopted to evaluate the performance of 14 lines (F9 and F10) of indeterminate growth habit, which were compared with 3 controls, namely, 2 commercial varieties (Feltrin ..

Genetic diversity analysis of isolates of the fungal bean pathogen Pseudocercospora griseola from central and southern Brazil
Authors: A.K.R. Abadio, S.S. Lima, M.F. Santana, T.M.F. Salom�£o, A. Sartorato, E.S.G. Mizubuti, E.F. Ara�ºjo and M.V. de Queiroz
Planting resistant varieties is the most effective control measure against the angular leaf spot of dry beans, a fungal disease caused by Pseudocercospora griseola. However, dry bean varieties with durable resistance are not easily obtained. Knowledge about the genetic variability of the pathogen population is key for the succ.. Read More»

Structural and functional characterization of the Colletotrichum lindemuthianum nit1 gene, which encodes a nitrate eductase enzyme
Authors: G.B. Nogueira M.V. Queiroz R.A. Ribeiro E.F. Ara�ºjo
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of plant bean anthracnose, one of the most important diseases affecting the common bean. We investigated the structure and expression of the nit1 gene (nitrate reductase) of C. lindemuthianum. The nit1 gene open reading frame contains 2787 bp, interrupted by a single 69-bp intron. The predicted protein has 90.. Read More»

Computational identification of miRNAs and their targets in Phaseolus vulgaris
Authors: J. Han, H. Xie, M.L. Kong, Q.P. Sun, R.Z. Li and J.B. Pan
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Although thousands of miRNAs have been identified in plants, limited information is available about miRNAs in Phaseolus vulgaris, despite it being an important food legume worldwide. The high cons..

Genetic progress estimation strategy for upright common bean plants using recurrent selection
Authors: L.A. Pereira, A.F.B. Abreu, I.C. Vieira J�ºnior, L.P.M. Pires,M.A.P. Ramalho
Common bean producers in Brazil tend to grow plants as upright as possible. Because the control of this trait involves a large number of genes, recurrent selection (RS) is the best approach for successful plant improvement. Because plant architecture (PA) is evaluated using scores and usually has high heritability, RS for PA i.. Read More»

Backcross assisted by microsatellite markers in common bean
Authors: L.K. Oliveira1,3, L.C. Melo2, C. Brondani3, M.J.D. Peloso2 and R.P.V. Brondani3
The objectives of the present study were to monitor the effect of backcrossing through microsatellite markers and to compare different marker assisted selection strategies. Four populations were developed using donor parents resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus and, for all crosses, only individuals resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus were back.. Read More»
