GENETIC DISSIMILARITY AMONG GENOTYPES OF SNAP BEANS BASED ON YIELD AND PRODUCTION COMPONENTS

摘要

The snap bean belong to the same botanical Family and species of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), however is classified as a vegetable because its immature pods with tenuous grains are the consumed part, thus is essential the obtaining of genotypes that ally high yields and great pod quality. An alternative, which has been used to direct new improvement programs, is the study of genetic dissimilarity (Freiria et al., 2016).The aim of this study is to evaluate the genetic dissimilarity of tern snap beans genotypes based on yield and production components, with the intent to identify the most promising crosses.
