Abstract:
Objectives:
Breed improved Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with:
a. White and gray mold resistance
b. Improved plant architecture
c. High economic yield
d. Improved pod quality (including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and delayed seed size development)
e. Tolerance to abiotic stresses
Improve seed quality of materials in the breeding program to provide greater resistance to mechanical injury and low germination issues.
