IAC-Galante and IAC-Centauro: special common bean types

Abstract

-Common bean types with pinkish and light brown teguments were predominant in Brazil before 1970, until the release of the Carioca common bean. To avoid that these common bean types sink into oblivion, the Instituto Agronômico Campinas applied for the registration of two cultivars by the MAPA/RNC: IAC-Galante (pinkish) and IAC-Centauro (light brown), with high yield and resistance to anthracnose and common mosaic.

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure, and Andean Introgression in Brazilian Common Bean Cultivars after Half a Century of Genetic Breeding

“…This might be due to the use of Andean accessions as donor parents in some Brazilian breeding programs. The pedigree data support this, where some Andean parents were included in the crosses in the development of Mesoamerican cultivars, such as IAC-Alvorada, BRS-Talismã, IAC-Milênio, IPA9, IAC-Tigre, and IAC-Galante [85][86][87][88]. The Black bean cultivar IAC-Diplomata is another example; although it was classified as an Andean accession by the population structure analysis, it was obtained from the same cross that originated the Carioca cultivar IAC-Alvorada, which is classified as Mesoamerican [85].…”

BRS Fs313: Jalo Type Common Bean Cultivar With Large Beans and High Yield

“…Embrapa Arroz e Feijão has sought to recommend new cultivars of special grain types with high yield potential, better resistance to diseases, and adaptation to mechanized harvest so that farmers can offer consumers differentiated products of better quality and, consequently, improve return on their investment in the crop (Pereira et al, 2021). In recent years, new cultivars of some of the commercial groups mentioned have been recommended, such as BRS Agreste (Melo et al, 2008), IAC Centauro (Carbonell et al, 2008), and BRS FS307 with mulatinho grain (Faria et al, 2020); BRS Vereda (Faria et al, 2004), IAC Galante (Carbonell et al, 2008), and BRS FS212 with rosinha grain; BRS Pitanga (Rava et al, 2005) and BRS FS318 with roxinho grain; BRSMG Marte with red grain; IAC Harmonia (Chiorato et al, 2008), BRSMG Realce (Melo et al 2014), and BRS FS311 with rajado grain (Aguiar, et al, 2021); and BRSMG União (Ramalho et al 2012) with jalo grain.…”

Breeding methods and history of bean cultivars released in CBAB - Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology

“…Particularly for the portion of the lowincome population common bean is the main source of protein, minerals and vitamins (Carbonell et al 2008a). Around the world, an average of 27 million hectares is planted every year and approximately 20 million tons of beans are harvested in more than 100 countries, of which Brazil is the largest producer (Chiorato et al 2008).…”
