Genetic control and estimation of genetic parameters for seed-coat darkening of carioca beans
Authors: F.C. Silva, P.G.S. Melo, H.S. Pereira and L.C. Melo
The maintenance of the light color of the grains of carioca beans is a requirement for the development of new cultivars of common beans because it enables the storage of grains for long periods so that they may be traded at a proper opportunity. Crosses of cultivar BRSMG Madrepérola, which presents slow grain darkening,.. Read More»

Genetic variability for iron and zinc content in common bean lines and interaction with water availability
Authors: H.S. Pereira, M.J. Del Peloso, P.Z. Bassinello, C.M. Guimar�?£es, L.C. Melo and L.C. Faria
The common bean is an important source of iron and zinc in humans. Increases in the contents of these minerals can combat mineral deficiencies, but these contents are influenced by environmental conditions. Thus, the objectives of this study were to investigate the interaction between common bean lines and water availability o.. Read More»

Genetic potential of common bean progenies obtained by different breeding methods evaluated in various environments
Authors: V.A. Pontes J�?ºnior, P.G.S. Melo, H.S. Pereira and L.C. Melo
Grain yield is strongly influenced by the environment, has polygenic and complex inheritance, and is a key trait in the selection and recommendation of cultivars. Breeding programs should efficiently explore the genetic variability resulting from crosses by selecting the most appropriate method for breeding in segregating popu.. Read More»

Genetic improvement of plant architecture in the common bean
Authors: V.M.P. Silva, J.A.N. Menezes J�?ºnior, P.C.S. Carneiro2, J.E.S. Carneiro and C.D. Cruz
Knowledge of genetic control of plant architecture in the common bean can help breeders define the most adequate breeding strategy to optimize gains. We examined genetic control of plant architecture in the common bean by means of partial diallel crosses. Fourteen bean lines were crossed under a partial diallel scheme, in which group 1 was composed of 8 e.. Read More»

Adaptability and phenotypic stability of common bean genotypes through Bayesian inference
Authors: A.M. Corr�?ªa, P.E. Teodoro, M.C. Gon�?§alves, L.M.A. Barroso,M. Nascimento, A. Santos and F.E. Torres
This study used Bayesian inference to investigate the genotype x environment interaction in common bean grown in Mato Grosso do Sul State, and it also evaluated the efficiency of using informative and minimally informative a priori distributions. Six trials were conducted in randomized blocks, and the grain yield of 13 common .. Read More»

Artificial intelligence in the selection of common bean genotypes with high phenotypic stability
Authors: A.M. Corr�?ªa, P.E. Teodoro, M.C. Gon�?§alves, L.M.A. Barroso,M. Nascimento, A. Santos and F.E. Torres
Artificial neural networks have been used for various purposes in plant breeding, including use in the investigation of genotype x environment interactions. The aim of this study was to use artificial neural networks in the selection of common bean genotypes with high phenotypic adaptability and stability, and to verify their .. Read More»

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines: chemical composition and protein digestibility
Authors: F.R. Mesquita, M.I.A. Silva and A.D. Corr�?ªa
The bean represents the main source of proteins for the low income populations, although the digestibility of those proteins is relatively low. Consequently, the programs of plant genetic breeding have been working on the search for new lines with higher protein levels. Thus, with the purpose of supplying information to the re.. Read More»

Implications of mitotic and meiotic irregularities in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Authors: D.C. Lima, G.T. Braz, G.B. dos Reis, V.H. Techio, L.C. Davide and A. de F.B. Abreu
The common bean has great social and economic importance in Brazil and is the subject of a high number of publications, especially in the fields of genetics and breeding. Breeding programs aim to increase grain yield; however, mitosis and meiosis represent under explored research areas that have a direct impact on grain yield... Read More»
