Lipid Soluble Antioxidant

Ozone insensitivity was assessed by three methods (visual rating, leakage of amino acids, and leakage of total electrolytes from leaf discs), and related to the levels of lipid-soluble antioxidants and superoxide dismutase activity in the primary leaves of different ages and of different cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris L. The most sensitive indicator of ozone injury was visual rating. The increased variability associated with measurements of amino acid or total electrolyte leakage masked differences among cultivars which could be detected by visual rating. The correlations among the three measures of injury were high. Ozone tolerance of the primary leaf decreased between 8 and 18 days after planting and varied significantly among the 10 cultivars tested. Similarly, significant differences in lipid-soluble antioxidant content and superoxide dismutase activity were measured, but a correlation with ozone insensitivity was not established. Exposure to 20 pphm ozone for 24 h induced higher quantities of lipid-soluble antioxidant in the susceptible cv. Seafarer but not in the tolerant cv. Goldcrop. Superoxide dismutase increased similarly in both cultivars. The physiological mechanism of ozone insensitivity in the primary leaves of these cultivars of P. vulgaris was not shown to involve increased levels of lipid-soluble antioxidants or superoxide dismutase.

Seed Characteristics

The number of Phaseolus vulgaris germplasm accessions numbers more than 30,000. While the large numbers of accessions increase the probability of preserving genetic variability they simultaneously limit the efficient and routine utilization of this resource. From the approximately 4000 P. vulgaris accessions in the C.I.A.T. whole collection that were collected in Mexico, a core collection of 400 accessions was developed based on variation for agronomic performance, ecological adaptation, and seed characteristics. Random samples of 90 accessions each were drawn from the core and whole collections and evaluated for 224 polymorphic RAPD bands. Based on analysis of the RAPD data there were no significant differences in genetic diversity between the two samples. The correlation of marker frequency for the two samples was 0.984 confirming that the two samples represent the same population.

Seed Characteristics

Nuña beans are a type of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from the Andean region of South America that possess the unique property of popping. To develop temperate-adapted nuña bean cultivars, knowledge is needed regarding the inheritance and relationships among popping characteristics and seed weight. Nuña bean landraces are often photoperiod-sensitive; thus, to obtain estimates of the genetic parameters associated with seed characteristics, populations adapted to the long days of northern temperate climates were developed. Four sets of 10 families, sampled from a temperate-adapted population, were crossed in a Design II mating design. The heritabilities of seed weight, popping percentage, and the coefficient of expansion were relatively high, 0.77 ± 0.04, 0.87 ± 0.07, and 0.74 ± 0.09, respectively. Large positive phenotypic (0.773) and additive genetic (0.539) correlations were observed between popping percentage and the coefficient of expansion. Correlations with seed weight were not significant. The results indicate that direct selection for either increased popping percentage or coefficient of expansion will simultaneously improve both traits with little or no change in seed weight.
