Improvement of Snap Bean

  • Chapter
Common Bean Improvement in the Twenty-First Century

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Breeding ((DIPB,volume 7))

Abstract

In this chapter, we review the status of snap bean research and suggest directions for the future. The snap bean group is defined and differences with dry bean are delineated. The origin of edible podded bean, from their possible genesis in the New World, to expansion of genetic diversity in the Old World, to their reintroduction into the U.S.A. is considered. We examine world commercial production with particular emphasis on North American environments and production constraints. Genetic control for whole plant traits, pod traits, seed traits, and disease resistances of importance is discussed. Finally, we suggest areas in need of research and breeding objectives for the future.
