Genetic variance, heritability, and expected response from selection are useful in devising alternative methods and criteria of selection. The objectives of this study were to estimate these for seed yield and its components from 200 F2 populations involving 80 cultivars and lines of mostly small...

Genetic variance, heritability and expected response from selection for dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield and its components
Studies were conducted at CIAT to measure the phenotypic correlations between several architectural characteristics and yield of dry beans as affected by plant density and environment (location). Four bean cv. were used to represent each bush bean growth habit (I, II, III). All 12 cv. were grown ...

Phenotypic correlations between architectural characteristics and grain yield in dry beans as affected by plant density and locations
Increase in yield potential of dry common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars has been either imperceptible or small and gradual, in spite of large variation of most traits, including seed yield. Therefore general combining ability (GCA) of 80 cultivars and lines was investigated. Eight sets o...
