BRS FP403: high-yielding black-seeded common bean cultivar with superior grain quality and moderate resistance to fusarium wilt

Abstract

BRS FP403 is a common bean cultivar from the black bean market class with high grain yield and yield potential, high commercial and cooking quality, and moderate resistance to fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli) and root rot diseases (Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli and Rhizoctonia solani).Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology -19: 240-244, 2019 TLPO Souza et al. CONCLUSIONSThe common bean cultivar BRS FP403 of the black bean class has a normal growing cycle (85-95 days), high grain yield and yield potential, high commercial and cooking quality, yield stability, and moderate resistance to fusarium wilt and root rot diseases. BRS FP403 is recommended for growing in the following states and growing seasons: rainy, dry, and winter seasons in the states of Mato Grosso, Goiás/Distrito Federal, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro; rainy and dry seasons in Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo; winter season in Tocantins; and rainy season in Maranhão, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Piauí, Ceará, and Paraíba.

Combining ability for resistance to Fusarium wilt and yield in black bean

“…However, a cultivar is the final result of a breeding study and, therefore, has already passed through the selection process necessary for fixing alleles of the loci that control the traits of interest, furthering the homozygosity of this genotype, resulting in a similar performance among plants. Furthermore, the cited cultivar was recently released to combine resistance to Fusarium wilt, high yield, and great 100-seed weight compared with the cultivars available in the market (Souza et al, 2019). In contrast, the segregating populations assessed here are still in the initial phase of the breeding process, with the possibility of the selection of lines superior even to 'BRS FP403'.…”

BRS Anauê and BRS Boyrá: the first cultivars of ornamental pineapple developed in Brazil

“…In the search for new ornamental cultivars since 2003, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) has conducted studies to characterize, select and hybridize the varieties preserved in a germplasm bank with more than 700 accessions (Souza et al 2006, Souza et al 2009a, Souza et al 2012a, Souza et al 2014. The development of new cultivars requires agronomic, phytosanitary and postharvest evaluations, to select hybrids with commercially important traits that are also resistant to the main crop pests and diseases (Souza et al 2009a, Souza et al 2014, Souza et al 2019. The main commercial characteristics of ornamental pineapple, according to market standards, are a deformation-free peduncle (fruit-supporting stem), longer than 40 cm, and attractive and wellformed infructescences (Souza et al 2014, Lima et al 2017.…”
