This study was conducted to identify suitable parental genotypes for breeding for resistance to bruchid and to identify the farmers’ preferred traits in common bean. For this study, 144 diverse common bean genotypes were planted in an alpha lattice design, with 3 replications at 3 locations. Participatory variety selection was done using 20 farmers at each location. Farmers identified a number of criteria for selecting suitable varieties. Yield and yield-related traits were ranked as the most important selection criteria by all farmers at all locations. However, women ranked culinary traits as the top criteria, while men were more interested in marketable traits. From the 144 genotypes, farmers selected the 10 best genotypes in all the locations. The majority of the genotypes selected at Melkassa and Alemetena were small white-seeded released varieties and breeding lines. However, all the genotypes selected at Arsi Negele were predominantly landraces of small red-seeded beans. Traits such as earliness and resistance to storage insect were important in Melkassa and Alme tena but received less attention in Arsi Negele. The integration of the farmers’ selection preferences with the breeders’ criteria can improve the efficiency of plant breeding by developing crop varieties that better fit the specific needs of the farmers.

Few plant-breeding studies have examined methodology for improving common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yields by selecting in an intercrop situation. We hypothesized that early-generation testing would be as useful in a maize (Zea mays L.)/bean intercrop as in sole crop for identifying superior bean populations for yield. F2 to F5 bulks of six selected crosses and their F5-derived advanced lines were evaluated in sole crop or intercrop. The F2 and F5 bulks were evaluated together in a preliminary trial in one location, while the advanced lines were evaluated with the F3s in one location, and with the F4s in two locations. Within sole crop, selection of the best three populations, based on F2 performance, provided 67% of the top advanced lines. The rank correlation between average bulk yield across generations and the average line yield was positive and significant. Within intercrop, selection of the best three populations provided 56% of the top advanced lines. The rank correlation between advanced line yield and bulk yield across generations was positive but not significant. Also, the top three F2 populations selected in sole crop produced 89% of the top advanced lines in intercrop. Advanced line performance showed a positive significant correlation with mean F4 bulk performance for grain yield, 100-seed weight and seeds per pod within sole crop, while positive significant correlation was seen with pods per plant and seeds per pod in intercrop. Results indicate that F2 bulk yields can be used to discard the least promising crosses in both cropping systems. Key words: Early generation testing, Phaseolus vulgaris, intercropping

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is native to Middle America and Andean mountains of South America. Due to its nutritious value, it is one of the most important legume crop of the world. Evaluation of genetic diversity of a crop is extremely important for the establishment of a breeding program and selection of varieties for cultivation. We evaluated the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of 40 P. vulgaris ecotypes from CIAT (International Center for Tropical Agriculture) germplasm using seed protein profiles produced by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), to screen the germplasm to be used in a breeding program. A total of 21 bands scored 14 were found polymorphic. A distance matrix was generated from the similarity matrix based on polymorphic bands. The UPGMA tree was established through cluster analysis performed on the distance matrix. Six major clusters were formed on the basis of SDS_PAGE analysis with one ecotype (E13-G16832) being the most diverse. This analysis provided the basis for selection of suitable ecotypes to be used in the establishment of a breeding program.ane damage the leaves helped the tolerant genotypes to sustain under salinity stress in a better way than the susceptible genotypes.
