Summary

Halo blight resistance was transferred in a backcrossing programme from PI 150414 to a Michigan-type bean. The resistant selections obtained gave yields that were up to 10% higher than that of cv. Seafarer and had seed of good quality that was suitable for baking in tomato sauce. These selections were also resistant to the common strains of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and to the lambda race of anthracnose.

In addition, selections with white seed of similar size to Seafarer were obtained from crosses between Seafarer and cold-tolerant lines with large, coloured seeds. In trials over 4 years these selections gave 20% higher yields than Seafarer and were less sensitive to environmental changes. Like Seafarer, they were homozygous for the I gene for resistance to BCMV but were susceptible to halo blight and anthracnose. Although not as suitable for canning in tomato sauce as other material in the National Vegetable Research Station programme, they offer useful parental material for further cycles of breeding.
