BRS Estilo: common bean cultivar with Carioca grain, upright growth and high yield potential

Abstract

-BRS Estilo is a new common bean cultivar with

Breeding common bean populations for traits using selection index

“…Moreover, it may be observed that the parent BRS Estilo was involved in three (populations 4, 7 and 8) out of the four best populations when the best performing progenies were considered. The performance of this parent is explained, above all, by good plant architecture (Melo et al, 2010), which was transferred to its descendents. When the index was used, one or more of the traits may have been negatively affected.…”

“…On the other hand, consumers are interested only in the traits related to grain quality. Therefore, the main breeding programs that work with the common bean crop in Brazil have devoted great effort to obtaining lines that meet all the goals mentioned (Abreu et al, 2007;Melo et al, 2010 andPereira et al, 2012).…”

BRS FC402: high-yielding common bean cultivar with carioca grain, resistance to anthracnose and fusarium wilt

“…Compared to BRS Estilo (Melo et al 2010) and BRSMG Uai (Ramalho et al 2016), the most promising and modern cultivars with carioca grain released by Embrapa and partners, BRS FC402 has a higher yield, resistance to anthracnose and wilt fusarium, but the same commercial grain quality as BRS Estilo. For this reason, BRS FC402 is expected to be adopted as a new technical solution for common bean growers throughout Brazil.…”

Application of microsatellite markers to confirm controlled crosses and assess genetic identity in common bean

“…BRS Estilo (Melo et al 2010) were obtained from common bean growers of traditional producing areas in the State of Goiás. These samples represent four separate lots, two of certified seeds and two of saved seeds (grains used as seeds).…”

“…The tested samples and controls consisted of 1.0 kg of seeds each. It is noteworthy that during the breeding process for the development of BRS Estilo, plants were selected in the F 5 and again in the F 8 generation, as described by Melo et al (2010). The common bean line 'LM 98202709', the original identification of BRS Estilo, was selected in the F 8:9 generation.…”
