Environmental variability in simultaneous selection of common bean for grain quality and mineral concentration traits

Abstract

The selection of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines based on grain quality and mineral concentration traits will be more efficient if a minimum number of experiments is established. This study was carried out to determine whether grain quality and mineral concentration traits are significantly affected by the genotype × environment interaction; to estimate heritability and genetic gain in individual and combined experiments; and to select superior common bean lines considering a minimum number of experiments. A total of 17 common bean genotypes were evaluated in four experiments. Grain quality was determined through seven traits, and the concentration of six minerals was analyzed by acid digestion.Statistical analyses were completed using data obtained from both individual (

Phenolic Compounds, Antioxidant Activity and Mineral Contents in Grains of Phaseolus lunatus L. and P. coccineus L. Landraces

“…However, the values of K and P observed for P. lunatus were higher than those observed by Palupi et al (2022), Jayalaxmi et al (2016) and Seidu et al (2015) and the values of P were similar to those reported by Giami (2006) for the same species, although methodological differences may have influenced these results. The species analyzed showed that the variation due to genotype and growth environment or crop location has a significant effect on the grain composition, as was reported for P. vulgaris (Bulyaba et al, 2020;Ribeiro and Maziero, 2022).…”
