Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Accessions of French bean varied significantly in pod diameter, pod length and pod number per plant.
- Observation Accessions of French bean varied significantly in pod weight per plant and seed weight.
- Observation Accessions of French bean did not differ in days to flowering, leaf length or leaf width.
- Observation Accessions of French bean did not differ in plant height.
- Association Season had a large influence on flowering time, pod diameter and pod length of French bean.
- Association Season had a large influence on plant height and seed weight of French bean.
- Association Accession and season interacted significantly for number of pods per plant and seed weight.
- Observation Morpho-agronomic traits split the 36 accessions into four clusters.
- Observation Shannon-Weaver diversity indices of the traits ranged from 0.23 to 0.88.
- Observation Of 26 SSR primer pairs, 18 were informative in French bean.
- Observation SSR loci of French bean produced a mean of 2.17 alleles per locus.
- Observation SSR PIC values of French bean ranged between 0.17 and 0.41.
- Observation Gene diversity of French bean SSR loci ranged from 0.19 to 0.50, mean 0.36.
- Mechanism Low observed heterozygosity in French bean reflected its predominantly autogamous habit.
- Mechanism Modest genotypic variation in French bean was attributed to intensive selection for pod quality.
- Observation SSR phylogeny of French bean revealed three major clusters, each a different pod diameter class.
- Recommendation Combining morpho-agronomic and DNA-based markers is recommended for germplasm assessment of French bean.
