Slow darkening (SD) is a trait that helps to maintain a brighter seed coat appearance in certain market classes of dry beans. The aim of this study was to generate new fluorescence-based markers and validate previously identified microsatellite markers for linkage to the SD trait in lines of the carioca market class. Four segregating populations were generated by Embrapa, the Brazilian Agricultural...
Abstract Although different methods of inoculation have been proposed to assess the reaction of common bean to white mold (WM) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a thorough comparison among them is lacking. In this study, six approaches were tested to identify the most reproducible and efficient method for discriminating six common bean genotypes of carioca market class based on their resistance...
A plant breeding program is a long-term investment. Therefore, periodic assessment of the effectiveness of a breeding strategy is essential to maximize genetic gains per unit of time and resource invested. In this work, we assessed the effectiveness of the early-generation testing (EGT) approach used in the upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding program at Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research...
