One necrosis-inducing strain and four mosaic-inducing strains of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) were differentially seed-transmitted in 14 mosaic-susceptible bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars. Dubbele Witte, Redlands Greenleaf B, Michelite, Sanilac, and Red Mexican 35 consistently transmitted ...

While symbiotic nitrogen (N2) fixation by G. max and P. vulgaris reduces their need for combined N, N2 fixation under field conditions is rarely maximized. This paper reviews constraints to N2 fixation in these species, then examines the genetic variability recorded for traits affecting N2 fixati...

Based on research results, the advantages of cassava over other crops, the use of improved cv. for different ecosystems, good management practices, crop protection, and soil fertility requirements are discussed in detail. (CIAT)
Our ability to manage gene flow within traditional agroecosystems and their repercussions requires understanding the biology of crops, including farming practices" role in crop ecology. That these practices" effects on crop population genetics have not been quantified bespeaks lack of an appropri...

Bean germplasm was evaluated at CIAT for resistance to BCMV strains NL-4, NL-3, and NL-5 in order to use them in the national breeding and selection programs in Africa, Europe, USA, and Chile. Ninety-eight lines were selected for an international Bean Common Mosaic/Black Root resistance nursery. ...
Assembled germplasm has provided breeders with valuable traits for the improvement of common beans. Molecular markers such as phaseolin and isozymes have facilitated understanding of the genus Phaseolus thus enabling breeders to develop more effective strategies. However, there are still gaps in ...

This paper describes two techniques used in Rwanda for integrating farmer expertise into bean varietal development. Standard farmer evaluation of on-farm trials can help: 1) indicate how varieties perform under farmer conditions; 2) better identify criteria critical to farmers; 3) target varietie...

The resistance of 9 bean cv. to isolates of Thanatephorus cucumeris collected from either leaves (Th-5) or roots (Rs-8) of infected plants was tested under controlled conditions in growth chambers (22-25 degrees Celsius, 80-100 percent RH and 12 h artificial light). Adequate concn. of inoculum of...

Methods used to identify BCMV are described in terms of symptomatology (common mosaic, black root); transmission (seed, insect, manual); responses of differential bean cv. (mosaic, systemic or local necrosis, local lesions, immunity); cytology (light and electron microscopy); purification and ser...
