Objectives:
- Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and improved plant architecture.
- Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
- Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance while maintaining resistance to bean common mosaic virus.
- Develop a molecular marker map to facilitate marker-assisted selection of desirable horticultural traits.
- Evaluate novel genetic traits of potential benefit.
