Phaseolus Vulgaris: A Genetic Analysis

290 Words2 Pages
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a widely eaten food that is high in digestible fiber (crude fiber). The purpose of this study was to evaluate three different breeding methods (bulk-population, bulk within F2 families, single seed descent) for the genetic potential of the progeny, for the trait of crude fiber. The majority of the sources of variation, besides for the parents and parents by environment interaction, were found to be significant at a P < 0.01 level between the three breeding methods. This means that the three breeding methods do not have the same efficiency in generating progenies, there is variability among progenies within each of the three methods, and that there is a progeny by environment interaction for all three
