“…A bean breeding line from CIAT, DOR 482, released in Honduras as 'Don Silvio' (Rosas et al, 2004a), was used as a parent in Puerto Rico to develop the BGYMV resistant white bean cultivar 'Morales' (Beaver and Miklas, 1999). Incrementally, other traits were added to cultivars harboring BGYMV resistance in subsequent releases of white beans for Puerto Rico (Table 2): 'Verano' added common bacterial blight resistance and greater tolerance to high temperature (Beaver et al, 2008); 'Beníquez' added BCMNV resistance with a more erect plant type (Beaver et al, 2011); and 'Bella' added superior performance in low nitrogen soils (Beaver et al, 2018a).…”

“…The SCAR marker SR2 derived from the RAPD (Blair et al, 2007) has been widely used to select beans for BGYMV resistance. For example, marker-assisted selection (MAS) was used to introgress bgm-1 into indeterminate snap bean lines (Stavely et al, 2001) and to develop BGYMV resistant lines (Table 3) for Central America and the Caribbean (Beaver et al, 2008(Beaver et al, , 2011(Beaver et al, , 2018a.…”

“…The pedigree of the white bean cultivar 'Verano' includes WBB-20-1, which derives a portion of its resistance from P. coccineus, and highly resistant bean germplasm VAX 6 line from CIAT, which derives its resistance from tepary bean (Singh et al, 2013;Beaver et al, 2008). Verano was used as a parent to develop the multiple disease resistant white bean 'Bella' (Beaver et al, 2018a).…”

“…Line 'IJR' (Indeterminate Jamaica Red = PI 163122) was first recognized as being heat tolerant in Puerto Rico (Baiges et al, 1996). Recent lines, purposely bred for stable yield response across varied high day and night temperature environments, include: TARS-HT1 and -HT2 kidneys (Porch et al, 2010), TARS-MST1 black , 'Verano' (Beaver et al, 2008), 'Bella' (Beaver et al, 2018a), and snap beans (Wasonga et al, 2010). However, many beans bred and released in Puerto Rico for other traits (described above) exhibit tolerance to high temperatures because it was a common stress in the selection environments: L-226-10 and L-227-1 (Freytag et al, 1985), 'Verano' (Beaver et al, 2008), and 'Badillo' (Beaver et al, 2010).…”

Most literature reviews focus on a specific topic. The purpose of this paper, however, is to review the contributions made by a multidisciplinary team of researchers at a specific location (Puerto Rico) over a period of several decades. This paper documents bean research of the University of Puerto Rico and the USDA-ARS Tropical Agriculture Research Station during the past century. The following illustrates the merits of continuity of effort in research and shows that research often follows a logical sequence of actions to solve problems related to genetic improvement as well as to study biotic and abiotic factors that affect common bean production in Central America and the Caribbean. Finally, this narrative demonstrates that the ongoing development of improved bean germplasm lines and cultivars is cyclical and builds upon previous research achievements. IntRodUctIon The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important component of the traditional diet in Puerto Rico. The 1900 report of the USDA Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station (USDA-PRAES) noted that rice and beans were staple crops in Puerto Rico and found on the tables of both the rich and poor. Smit et al. (2007) noted that annual per capita consumption of grain legumes, mostly dry beans, in

“…(Beaver et al, 2003;Rosas et al, 2000;Rosas, 2011). Considerable progress has been made within the region in the development and release of Mesoamerican bean cultivars having enhanced levels of disease resistance to these and other biotic constraints (Beaver et al, 2018a(Beaver et al, , 2018bPorch et al 2014;Rosas et al, 2004). Bean producers in Central America and the Caribbean also face numerous abiotic yield constraints including terminal drought, high temperatures, and infertile soils (Miklas et al, 2006).…”

Performance of Mesoamerican bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines in an unfertilized oxisol

et al. 2021

Introduction. Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Central America and the Caribbean are often produced on low fertility soils which reduces crop yield. Bean breeding programs need to identify genotypes that have superior adaptation to these conditions. Objective. Identify Mesoamerican bean germplasm lines with superior adaptation to low soil fertility. Materials and methods. The performance of twenty-seven Mesoamerican bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines from the Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation (BASE) 120 panel were evaluated in an unfertilized oxisol at Isabela, Puerto Rico over five growing seasons (four-year period from 2015-2018). The lines were inoculated with a mixture of Rhizobium etli and R. tropici to promote symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Results. Four lines produced mean seed yields >1,200 kg ha-1 and had estimates of nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (NDFA) >50 %. Greater nodule number was positively correlated with % NDFA, later maturity and seed yield. The heat and drought tolerant small red cultivar ‘Rojo Chortí’ and the heat tolerant white cultivar ‘Verano’ had among the smallest apparent C isotope discrimination values suggesting greater water use efficiency. Among the elite lines in the trial, root rot damage was minimal and the basal root growth angles were intermediate (40-60 %), which favored the uptake of water and soil nutrients. Conclusion. Mesoamerican bean lines with superior seed yield and enhanced symbiotic nitrogen fixation in a low fertility soil were identified. Many of these lines also possess resistance to other biotic and abiotic factors that limit bean seed yield in Central America and the Caribbean.
