Morphologic And Agronomic Characteristics Of Some Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Breeding Lines

Abstract

In this study, some morphological and agronomic characteristics of 96 bean breeding lines (51 bush and 45 climbers) were investigated. Plant characteristics (anthocyanin coloration of hypocotyls, the intensity of anthocyanin coloration of hypocotyl, growth type, plant architecture, plant type, plant height, plant speed of climber), properties of leaves (intensity of green color, rigidity, terminal leaflet size, terminal leaflet shape, terminal leaflet length of the tip), flower properties (inflorescences position, size of bracts, color of flag leaf, color of wing), pod characteristics (pod length (except beak), width, thickness, shape of cross-section, ground color, intensity of ground color, presence of secondary color, secondary color, density of flecks of secondary color, stringiness of ventral suture, degree of warp, shape of warp, shape of distal part (except beak), length of beak, curling of beak, texture of surface) were determined and measured by using UPOV parameters and subjected to cluster analysis in morphological identification. In the dendrogram, bush bean lines were divided into two main groups and eight subgroups, and climber bean lines were also divided into two main groups and ten subgroups.
