Mf. Mohamed et al., A RADIATION-INDUCED MUTANT WITH RESISTANCE TO COMMON BACTERIAL-BLIGHTDISEASE IN COMMON BEANS, HortScience, 30(3), 1995, pp. 577-578
The leaf reaction of the Phaseolus vulgaris L. germplasm-UNECA (M(6) m
utant derived from the cultivar Chimbolito, Costa Rica), 'Chimbolito',
BAG-6 (Brazil), XAN-159 (Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical
, Call, Colombia), and 'PC-50' (Domican Republic)-to Xanthomonas campe
stris pv. phaseoli strain V4S1 (Dominican Republic) were determined in
two replicated trials conducted in a greenhouse in Lincoln, Neb. (Feb
.-Mar. and July-Aug. 1993).'PC-50' and 'Chimbolito' were susceptible t
o Xcp strain V4S1 in both tests. UNECA, BAC-6, and XAN-159 had similar
levels of resistance to Xcp in the July to August trial. However, in
the February to March trial, the resistance of UNECA was greater than
that of BAC-6 but less than that of XAN-159.
