Snap Bean Breeding for Rust Resistance: Validation of Molecular Markers for The Ur-11 Gene Introgression

Abstract

validation of molecular markers for the gene introgression. ABSTRACT Bean rust caused by Uromyces appendiculatus fungus is one of the most destructive diseases reported in temperate , tropical, and sub-tropical regions, affecting the quality and quantity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) yield. The present study aimed to improve the breeding process of snap beans for rust resistance by identification of inheritance patterns of resistant genes using phenotypic and molecular markers. Among the different genes identified, Ur-11 has wide-spectrum resistance to 89
