Gamma irradiation induced variability in phaseolus vulgaris L. CV. Blue lake

The effect of four spacings within the row (8, 15, 23 and 30 cm) on the marketable yield of four commercial pole bean varieties, (McCaslan 42, Romano, Kentucky 191 and Blue Lake S-7 Stringless), was evaluated on a winter planting at the Adjuntas Experiment Substation. At the 8 cm spacing, variety Romano was the highest yielder (12,523 kg/ha) while Kentucky 191 had the lowest (9,542 kg/ha). At 15 cm, Kentucky 191 yielded 10,004 kg/ha; and McCaslan 42 only 8,297 kg/ha. At 23 cm, Blue Lake S-7 was highest in yield (11,587 kg/ha) while Romano had the lowest (5,928 kg/ha). At 30 cm, Kentucky 191 was the highest yielder (9,442 kg/ha) while McCaslan 42 was the lowest (4,659 kg/ha).

Selection Of

An abnormal pod condition, in which bean pods are twisted, sometimes as much as 360°, was discovered in a selection of OSU 5256, a Bush Lake breeding line. The amount of twisting of affected pods and the number of affected pods/plant are both variable. F2 progenies from crosses between twisted pod line 5256-1 and two normal bush Blue Lake cultivars segregate 3 normal:1 twisted, showing that the twisted mutant is controlled by a single recessive gene.

Sulfur Nutrition

Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Blue Lake plants were grown in sand culture at three temperatures, and fed with nutrient solution containing 1.3 or 32 mg/liter sulfur (S). Plants were fumigated twice with ozone at 50 parts per hundred million (pphm) for 2 h.Intensity of phytotoxicity was markedly lower in plants grown at the high S rate. Ozone reduced chlorophyll content of plants grown in low S at 25/20 and 30/25°. With the high S treatment, however, ozone had no significant effect on chlorophyll content, particularly at the lower temperatures. Irrespective of S nutrition, ozone had no effect on total soluble carbohydrate content. Ozone effects on plant growth depended on plant part, growth temperature, and S nutrition.
