Evidence for genetic diversity in cultivated common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is reviewed. Multivariate statistical analysis of morphological, agronomic, and molecular data, as well as other available information on Latin American landraces representing various geographical and ecological regions...

Races of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, Fabaceae)
The effect of visual screening for grain yield was studied in 9 bean populations resulting from 3 different crossings (single, 3- way, and modified-double crosses) involving different groups of genetic pools from Central America and the Andes. The best yielding lines in the F2 and F3 generations ...

Visual selection for seed yield in the F2 and F3 generations of nine common bean crosses
A field trial was carried out in CIAT-Quilichao (Colombia) to determine seed yield heritability, wt. of 100 seeds and days to maturity, in soils with high and low levels of fertilization. Plots were fertilized with 600 and 1800 kg of compost (15-15-15)/ha. The F2 and F3 generations of 22 single c...
