Registration of Anthracnose‐Resistant Pinto Bean Germplasm Line USPT‐ANT‐¹

75 years of breeding pinto bean for resistance to diseases in the United States

“…Although in this study we observed only one pinto cultivar (Early Ray) resistant to both the Andean and Middle American races of C. lindemuthianum four cultivars, namely Grand Mesa, Ouray, Remington, and Topaz possessed resistance to the most widely distributed Middle American race 73 (Table 1). Miklas et al (2003c), using marker-assisted selection, introgressed Co-4 2 , broad-spectrum resistance allele from G 2333 into a pinto breeding line USPT-ANT-1. Until recently anthracnose was a major problem only in Michigan and Ontario (Canada).…”

“…Development of broadly adapted high yielding high quality pinto cultivars with desirable maturity and plant type and resistant to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses may not be feasible for a small program with limited resources run by a lone breeder; multi-disciplinary team, inter-institutional collaboration, and long term commitment and financial support would be required. Recent advances made in identification of germplasm and development of breeding lines and cultivars with resistance to anthracnose (Kelly et al 1994;Miklas et al 2003c), BCMV and rust (Pastor-Corrales et al 2001), common bacterial blight (Singh and Muñoz 1999), and white mold (Miklas et al 1998;Singh et al 2007aSingh et al , 2009Steadman et al 2001) need to be taken into consideration. Similarly, breeders should consider using valuable germplasm identified for drought (Muñoz-Perea et al 2006) and low-soil fertility (Westermann and Singh 2000) tolerance, plant architecture (Kelly 2001), post harvest seed coat darkening (Singh 2006;Singh et al 2006), and other agronomic traits.…”

“…This selection method is also well suited for marker-assisted selection (Miklas 2007;Miklas et al 2003). This breeding method is not useful, however, for the improvement of quantitatively inherited traits such as seed yield or tolerance to abiotic stress.…”

Transfer of Co-1 Gene Locus for Anthracnose Disease Resistance to Fresh Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Through Hybridization and Molecular Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS)

“…Although anthracnose disease has significant detrimental effects in Turkey especially in coastal regions where fresh bean cultivation is common, the studies concerning determination of pathogen strains common to Turkey and of varieties resistant to these strains in Turkey have been initiated only recently. A literature review indicates that in other countries where cultivation is common, strains of the common fungi have been identified and the varieties resistant to the identified strains have been developed (Kelly, Hosfield, Varner, Uebersax, Afanador, & Taylor, 1995;Kelly, Hosfield, Varner, Uebersax, Long, & Taylor, 1998;Balardin & Kelly, 1998;Sharma, Kumar, Sharma, Sud, & Yagi, 1999;Kelly, Hosfield, Varner, Uebersax, & Taylor, 2000;Kelly, Hosfield, Varner, Uebersax, & Taylor, 2001; Acosta-Gallegos, Ibarra-Pérez, Rosales-Serna, Cázares-Enríquez, Fernández-Hernandez, Castillo-Rosales, & Kelly, 2001a,b;Miklas, Kelly, & Singh, 2003). In Turkey, where this agent is present and poses risk of spreading, it is crucial to search for sources of resistance against this pathogen, to protect and make use of the present gene sources and to transfer resistance to native varieties by selective breeding.…”
