Beans

Objectives: The basic objective of the processing component of this research is to support the green bean breeding program being carried out by Dr. Jim Baggett in the Horticulture Department. The specific objectives are:

Objectives: Breed bush green beans for the western Oregon processing industry with:

• Improved potential for high yields at favorable sieve sizes and dependability
• Improved straightness, texture, and other quality factors
• Develop easy picking and small pod strains of Blue Lake type
• Resistance to white mold and root rot

Objectives:

• To utilize direct DNA mapping techniques to generate a linkage map of beans.
• To associate particular DNA fragments with quantitative traits of economic importance in order to assist targeted selection in plant improvement.
