BRS Sublime is a common bean cultivar with carioca grains, high nutritional grain quality, and high yield potential (4667 kg ha-1). It has a normal cycle, upright growth, low loss rates in the mechanical harvest, and is recommended for planting in 19 Brazilian states, in the three main common bean cultivation regions. It is the first cultivar developed in the world with angular leaf spot resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BRS FC402 is a common bean cultivar of the carioca-grain group with commercial grain quality, suitable for cultivation in 21 Brazilian states. Cultivar has a normal cycle (85-94 days), high yield potential (4479 kg ha-1), 10.1% higher mean yield than the controls (2462 kg ha-1) and resistance to fusarium wilt and anthracnose.

The purpose of this study was the environmental stratification of the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina for the evaluation of carioca common bean genotypes. The grain yield was evaluated in 20 trials, in a randomized block design with three replications testing 16 genotypes with carioca grain. The environments were stratified by five methodologies: traditional Lin; mean square of the interaction for paired locations, estimate of the percentage of the complex interaction; estimate of Pearson's correlation, and the Wricke method. Locations identified as uninformative by at least three of the methodologies were excluded. The locations considered uninformative in the respective growing seasons were Roncador (rainy/2003 and dry/2003) and Laranjeiras do Sul (rainy/2004) and no location in the growing season dry/2004. Only Roncador was identified as not very informative in at least two seasons and was therefore eliminated from the evaluation network of Carioca common bean genotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This manuscript reports on the application of microsatellite markers to assess the effectiveness of controlled crosses and assess the genetic identity of seed samples from a same common bean cultivar (BRS Estilo). The DNA was extracted from leaf tissue collected from F1 plants and their parents as well as from seed samples of the cv. BRS Estilo by the alkaline lysis method. In all cases, genotyping was carried out with 24 microsatellite markers distributed in four multiplex panels with six markers each. Of the 392 F1 plants analyzed, obtained from 21 different biparental crosses, 325 (82.91%) was confirmed as real hybrids by the molecular analysis. The genetic analysis of the four BRS Estilo seed samples (two of certified seeds and two of saved seeds) detected 100.00% genetic identity with the samples used as control in only one certified seed sample.

The common bean cultivar "BRSMG Realce", recommended for the state of Minas Gerais, has high yield potential and resistance to powdery mildew, bacterial wilt and to anthracnose pathotypes 65, 73, 77, 81, 91, 475 and 479. The plants and pods are high, resulting in lower loss during mechanical harvest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BRS Ametista is a common bean cultivar with Carioca grain and yields similar to cultivar Pérola, but with larger grain size, resistance to anthracnose and Fusarium wilt. It is recommended for 18 states in all regions of Brazil and can be planted on over 95% of the area used for common bean in the country [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cultivar BRSMG Madrepérola, recommended for cultivation in Minas Gerais, has the feature of maintaining a light grain color for a longer period than other Carioca grain cultivars. The yield potential is high and the resistance level good to the major anthracnose races in the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The bean cultivar BRSMG União as a new option of a bean cultivar with jalo grains for the state of Minas Gerais. The cultivar BRSMG União had an average grain yield of 9.8% above the mean of the controls (Jalo EEP 558 and BRS Radiante) and was resistant to powdery-mildew. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BRS Notável is a common bean cultivar with carioca grain, suitable for cultivation in 20 Brazilian states. It is a mediumearly- maturing cultivar, with an average yield of 2,261 kg ha-1, 8.5% higher than the controls, a high yield potential (4,472 kg ha-1), lodging tolerance and resistance to anthracnose, fusarium wilt, common bacterial blight, and curtobacterium wilt [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The search for more productive varieties of beans, with lower production cost and adaptable to most technological conditions has been intensified. The objective of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the stability and adaptability of common bean lines of the carioca group in the final evaluation network in the Central Cerrado of Brazil, in 2005 and 2006. Twelve lines and four cultivars were evaluated in 23 environments. A completely randomized block design was used with three replications, with plots of four rows of four meters. Grain yield data were subjected to analysis of variance, stability and of adaptability by the methodologies of Lin and Binns, Annichiarico and visual assessment, respectively. The most stable and promising lines for recommendation as new cultivars were CNFC 10429, CNFC 10431 and CNFC 10408. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
