GREEN BEAN PLANTS WITH IMPROVED DISEASE RESISTANCE

摘要

Green bean plants exhibiting resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resistance phenotype and lacking an undesirable seed color trait. Such plants include green bean plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.
