Selection in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) mutant populations for adaptative characters

Selection in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) mutant populations for adaptative characters

The existence of variability is primary to success in plant breeding. The commercial bean cultivars have a narrow variability for adaptive traits. However, the use of mutagenic agents can increase the mutation frequency, allowing the development of genetic variability in useful traits. Thus, four be...
