RESUMOO feijão representa a principal fonte de proteínas para as populações de baixa renda, todavia a digestibilidade dessas proteínas é relativamente baixa. Por isto, os programas de melhoramento genético vêm trabalhando em busca de novas linhagens com níveis protéicos mais elevados. Assim, com a finalidade de fornecer informações aos melhoristas, neste trabalho foram analisadas 21 linhagens de feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), quanto à composição centesimal e mineral, digestibilidade protéica, compostos fenólicos e inibidor de tripsina. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 21 tratamentos (linhagens) e três repetições. O teor de proteína bruta variou de 22,34 a 36,28 g/100 g de matéria seca (MS); o de fibra detergente neutro de 7,56 a 20,91g/ 100 g MS; o de extrato etéreo de 0,53 a 2,55 g/100 g MS e o de cinzas de 2,97 a 4,87 g/100 g MS. Os teores, em g/100 g MS, de P, K, Ca, Mg e S variaram de 0,45 a 0,72; 1,51 a 2,48; 0,03 a 0,28; 0,18 a 0,34 e 0,28 a 0,45, respectivamente. Já os teores de Cu, Mn, Zn e Fe, em mg/kg MS, variaram de 11,37 a 17,73; 14,93 a 28,90; 36,67 a 69,90 e 71,37 a 126,90, respectivamente. A digestibilidade protéica in vitro variou de 18,03% a 48,32%. Os teores de compostos fenólicos variaram de 0,28 a 1,08 mg de ácido tânico/100 g MS e os de inibidor de tripsina de 59,93 a 151,07UTI/mg MS. Entre as linhagens com maiores teores protéicos a ESAL 569 (bege com rajas marrons) apresentou a maior digestibilidade protéica e também níveis consideráveis de minerais. A P-180 (bege com rajas marrons) ficou entre as linhagens com teores mais elevados de proteína bruta e entre as de maiores digestibilidades, além de ter apresentado teores elevados para a maioria dos minerais. Não foi observada nenhuma relação entre a digestibilidade da proteína e os teores de compostos fenólicos e inibidor de tripsina.

ABSTRACTBean represents the main source of proteins for the low income populations, though the digestibility of those proteins is relatively low. Consequently, the programs of plant genetic breeding have been working on the search for new lines with higher protein levels. Thus, with the purpose of supplying information to the researchers, in this work 21 bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines were analyzed for the centesimal and mineral composition, protein digestibility, phenolic compounds and trypsin inhibitor. The entirely randomized experimental design was used with 21 treatments (lines) and three repetitions. All values were within the following ranges: 22.34 to 36.28g of crude protein/100g of dry matter (DM); 7.56 to 20.91g of neutral detergent fiber/100g DM; 0.53 to 2.55g of fat/100g DM and 2.97 to 4.87g of ashes/100g DM. The levels, in g/100g DM, of P, K, Ca, Mg and S varied from 0.45 to 0.72; 1.51 to 2.48; 0.03 to 0.28; 0.18 to 0.34 and 0.28 to 0.45, respectively. Regarding Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe, the levels in mg/kg DM, varied from 11.37 to 17.73; 14.93 to 28.90;...

The efficiency of recurrent selection was assessed in obtaining common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) plant lines resistant to the phytopathogenic fungi Phaeoisariopsis griseola. The base bean population was obtained from the partial diallel between seven lines with carioca-type grains and 10 sources of resistance to P. griseola. The plants most resistant to the pathogen were selected in the F 2 (S 0 ) generation of the populations (C-0). The best S 0:1 plants that presented carioca-type grains were intercrossed to obtain cycle I (C-I). The same procedure was adopted to obtain cycles C-II to C-V. In each recurrent selection cycle, S 0:1 progenies selected were also assessed in experiments carried out in Lavras, Brazil, always using as check the Carioca MG (susceptible to P. griseola) and Pérola (tolerant) cultivars. The response to selection for resistance to the pathogen was estimated from the general mean of the S 0:1 progenies from each selective cycle compared to the susceptible check Carioca MG. The estimated gain was 6.4% per cycle and the indirect response in grain yield by selection for resistance to the pathogen was 8.9% per cycle. The variability detected among the progenies in the last selective cycles enabled the prediction of additional responses to recurrent selection.

Resumo -Os objetivos deste trabalho foram determinar a viabilidade de uso de um índice de seleção baseado em somatório de variáveis padronizadas no melhoramento genético do feijoeiro-comum e identifi car as populações segregantes mais promissoras em produtividade de grãos, porte da planta e resistência ao acamamento, simultaneamente. Foram avaliadas populações segregantes obtidas por cruzamentos em esquema de dialelo parcial (6x6). Os genitores utilizados foram divididos em dois grupos. No grupo I, foram utilizados genitores com grãos do tipo carioca, de porte semiereto a prostrado. No grupo II, foram utilizados genitores com porte ereto, porém com grãos fora do padrão comercial carioca. As gerações F 2 e F 3 das combinações híbridas foram avaliadas em experimentos com delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições e semeadura em novembro de 2007 e fevereiro de 2008, respectivamente. Os dados relativos à produtividade de grãos, à nota de porte e à nota de acamamento foram padronizados (Z ij ) por parcela. A partir do somatório de Z ij , obteve-se o índice de seleção para as três características conjuntamente. Constatou-se que o índice de seleção possibilita selecionar populações segregantes superiores, considerando simultaneamente a produtividade de grãos e as notas de porte e de acamamento. As populações segregantes CV III 8511 x BRS 7762 Supremo, CV III 8511 x RP 166 e CV III 8511 x RP 26 são indicadas para programas de melhoramento a fi m de obter linhagens produtivas com plantas eretas e menor acamamento.Termos para indexação: Phaseolus vulgaris, dialelo parcial, padronização de variáveis, população segregante. Selection index for choosing segregating populations in common beanAbstract -The objectives of this work were to determine the viability of using a selection index based on the sum of standardized variables in common bean breeding programs, and to identify the most promising segregating populations for grain productivity, plant growth habit and resistance to lodging simultaneously. Segregant populations obtained by crosses in partial diallel scheme (6x6) were evaluated. Parental genotypes were divided in two groups. Group I comprised parents of the carioca grain type, with semierect to prostate growth habit. Group II comprised parental lines with erect architecture, but with grains not classifi ed as the standard carioca type. The F2 and F3 generations of the obtained hybrid combinations were evaluated in randomized block design, with three replicates and sowing in November 2007 and February 2008, respectively. Data of grain yield, score for plant growth habit and score for lodging were standardized per plot (Z ij ). The selection index for the three characters together was obtained from the Z ij sum. This selection index makes it possible to choose superior segregating populations considering grain yield, scores for plant growth habit, and for lodging simultaneously. Segregating populations CV III 8511 x BRS 7762 Supremo, CV III 8511 x RP 166 and CV III 8511 x RP 26 are identifi ed as promising...

More erect plant architecture has been a goal in the development of bean cultivars. Aiming to obtain more information about genetic control of traits related to plant architecture, this work was carried out between August 1995 and July 1997 in the southern and Alto São Francisco regions, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Initially, analyses were performed with individual plants of parents and different segregant generations from the crosses Carioca-MG x H-4 and Carioca x FT-Tarumã. In these experiments, besides degree of erectness, other traits were evaluated: ramification degree, internode length, internode diameter and height of insertion of the first pod. Mean and variance components and heritability at an individual level were estimated. Later, families derived from F 2 or F 3 plants of the same crosses were evaluated for degree of erectness. Genetic and phenotypic variance between family averages, heritabilities using variance components, and realized heritability were estimated. Of the morphological traits, internode length varied the most. There was a predominance of additive effect in the control of this trait. Evaluating plant architecture with individual plants for degree of erectness was not efficient. However, when families were used, genetic parameter estimates confirmed the possibility of successful selection, especially if evaluated for a few generations and/or environments, despite the strong environmental influence on trait expression.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic progress after four cycles of recurrent selection in common bean. The base segregating population was obtained from 10 parents, and derived the S 0:1 and S 0:2 families that were evaluated. The S 0:3 families with higher grain yield and grain color, like the standard carioca were selected, and were intercrossed to generate the population of the following cycle. This process was repeated for four cycles. The best families were evaluated in each cycle by many generations and locations, and the five best lines of each cycle were identified. The 20 lines thus obtained were evaluated in two growing seasons, sown in July and November 2002. The grain yield (kg/ha) and grain type (scale of scores) were evaluated. Genetic progress was confirmed for both traits. The mean annual gain with selection for the grain type was 10.5% and 5.7% for grain yield, with no evidence of variability reduction in the population. These results show that recurrent selection is a good alternative for improving common bean quantitative traits.
