To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
The easy picking characteristic, expressed as low pod detachment force (PDF),
offers a way to decrease pod damage in bush green beans mechanically harvested for
processing and fresh market, and makes hand picking easier and faster. This study was
undertaken to examine inheritance in a cross of two green bean...
The inheritance mode of pea-resistance to the Lentil
Strain of Pea Seedborne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV-L) was
studied. In addition, commercial pea cultivars, Plant
Introduction (P.I.) lines and Oregon State University
(OSU) breeding lines were tested for susceptibility to
this virus. These lines were also tested for their
reaction to Bean...
Pea streak virus (Marmor trifolii Holmes) is widespread and
occasionally destructive in Eastern Oregon and Washington, and in
many other pea growing areas. Since control by the use of insecticides
to kill the insect vector is only partially successful, resistant
varieties of peas are needed.
In a study to confirm...
