Melhoramento do feijoeiro comum com grão tipo carioca, visando resistência à antracnose e à mancha angular

Abstract

Aiming to select common bean lines with high grain yield, Carioca grain type, upright plant habit and resistant to anthracnose and angular leaf spot, 143 lines were selected from three families of the cross F1:4RC2 {[(G2333 X ESAL 696) X ESAL 696] X CI 140}. The promising lines were selected based on the agronomical traits in four field experiments, set up in three places in Southern MG State using the square lattice design. The reaction of each line to the anthracnose was evaluated by inoculating the seedlings using the races 1545 and 2047, and kept in humid chamber during three days, and then moved to greenhouse with sprinkle irrigation every four hours. Four lines with high grain yield, upright plant habit, Carioca grain type, and resistance to angular leaf spot (score up to 4) were selected. Among them one of the lines has the Co-42 allele for anthracnose resistance, two lines have the Co-7 allele, and the last one, although susceptible do anthracnose, presented the highest grain yield and angular leaf spot resistance (score 3,97).
