BRSMG PIONEIRO: NEW CARIOCA COMMON BEAN CULTIVAR RESISTANT TO ANTHRACNOSE AND RUST, FOR THE SOUTHERN OF BRAZIL

摘要

The Southern region of Brazil, that comprises the States of Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, produces about 24,7% of the total national bean production.The prevalent climatic conditions of this region, with moderate temperatures and highhumidity, favor disease development such as anthracnose. In this way, one of the main goals of the bean breeding programs in Brazil, is to give emphasis to the development of bean cultivars with resistance to this disease associated to grain type for each region consumers preferences and high average yield. Colletotrichum lindemuthianum presents a great pathogen variability making necessary, in the breeding program, the combination of different resistance genes.
