Exploring genetic diversity: the inheritance of protein and mineral contents in dwarf common beans ERCAN CEYHAN, AYŞEGÜL KORKMAZ, AMJAD ALİ, SERDAR KARADAŞ, MUSTAFA HARMANKAYA, DURAN ŞİMŞEK, TOLGA KARAKÖY Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2025 Beans are a vital plant-based protein, containing essential minerals that are necessary for human health. Their protein and mineral compositions vary due to factors including cultivar or variety, growth conditions, and processing methods. Global deficiencies in protein and minerals necessitate fortification, supplementation, and dietary diversification. The present study focuses on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars, aiming to understand their genetic variation and inheritance of protein and mineral contents. Five dwarf common bean cultivars (Lida, Beyzade, Ribera, Albeni, and Garrafol) were used in a full-diallel hybridization method and the experiment was conducted in Konya, Türkiye. The diallel analysis assessed both general and specific combining abilities, providing insights into trait inheritance. The results revealed that significant genetic variation occurred among protein and mineral contents. The protein content varied according to the parental cultivars and F1 hybrids. Garrafol had protein content of 28.79%, Lida 28.49%, Beyzade 27.59%, Ribera 23.47%, and Albeni 27.34%. Among the F1 hybrids, Lida × Ribera had the highest protein content at 30.47%, while Albeni × Beyzade had the lowest at 24.55%. General combining ability (GCA) analysis revealed that Garrafol and Lida had significant positive values for protein ratio. However, Beyzade, Albeni, and Ribera had significant negative GCA values for protein ratio. The F1 hybrids displayed a wide range of heterosis values for various nutrient contents, with notable extremes such as –36.78% to 82.24% for Mg content and –37.43% to 39.70% for Fe content. The study identified cultivars with positive GCA for protein, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, iron, and zinc. Garrafol, Lida, and Ribera hold promise for future breeding programs to enhance the nutritional traits of dwarf common beans. This research enhances the understanding of genetic factors influencing nutritional traits in dwarf common beans, contributing to future developments in bean breeding and nutrition.
Genetic analysis of seed yield and some traits in cowpea using diallel analysis CHRISTELLE JOU-NTEUFA, ERCAN CEYHAN Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2024 Cowpea is an essential economic crop in underdeveloped and developing countries mainly grown by small farmers. In terms of seed yield and some agricultural characteristics, this study was carried out to determine the genetic structures and the general and specific adaptability of the genotypes. The trial, which included F1 hybrids and parents, was established under Konya ecological conditions with 3 replications in 2020 in the “Random Blocks Trial” design. Based on the results of the preliminary analysis of variance, it was determined that there was sufficient variation in the hybrid populations formed in terms of all traits examined. Nonadditive and dominant genes were found to be important in all traits examined. In the study, general adaptability was found to be important for the other traits examined, except the seed number per pod, seed number per plant, seed yield per plant, and protein yield per plant, and the effects of special adaptability were significant for all traits examined. Considering their general combining abilities, it was found that Ülkem, Sırma, and Pekşen cultivars should be used as rootstocks in breeding programs aimed at increasing yield and Pekşen and Ülkem cultivars in breeding programs to increase protein levels. When the specific combining abilities, heterosis and heterobeltiosis values are evaluated together, the hybrid combinations “Pekşen × Sırma”, “Ülkem × Pekşen” and “Karagöz × Sırma” with the best performance in terms of, seed yield per plant and “Pekşen × Amazon”, “Sırma × Pekşen”, “Sırma × Karagöz” and “Ülkem × Pekşen” with the most outstanding give better performance in terms of protein ratio were found to be promising.
Genetic Analysis of Grain Yield and its Components in Green Bean for Soils with High Lime Content Şemsi Tamüksek, Ercan Ceyhan Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2024 Green beans are a legume used in human diets throughout the world. One of the most important factors limiting the yield of bean crops in the world is high lime. Two registered varieties (Beyzade and Lida) resistant to high lime and three commercial varieties (Ribera, Albeni, and Garrafol) which are superior in terms of some agricultural characteristics were used as materials. In this study, 20 F1 hybrid combinations were obtained from green bean varieties Beyzade, Lida, Riberia, Albeni, and Garrafol using full diallel crosses. The effects of GCA and SCA on the traits examined in the study were found to be important and the most suitable parent and cross combinations for green bean breeding were identified. The study found that additive genes can effectively inherit grain yield and plant height, while non-additive genes can effectively inherit other traits studied. Garrafol had the highest GCA for grain yield. The “Lida x Garrafol” cross exhibited high SCA effects for seed yield per plant. These results indicate that sufficient levels of genetic variation exist in the study population for the agricultural traits observed in this study.
Diallel Analysis of Dry Bean Varieties for Seed Yield and Important Traits for Calcareous Soils Nur Banu Tekin, Ercan Ceyhan Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2023 HIGHLIGHTS Beans are an essential food source in the human diet. It is the most essential criterion limiting high calcareous yield in beans. It would be more appropriate to perform the selection process in later generations by evaluating the seed yield.
Evaluation of Dry Bean Cultivars in Turkey for Resistance against Common Bacterial Blight Disease Tibebu Belete, Kubilay Kurtulus Bastas, Ercan Ceyhan Legume Research, 2022 Background: Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) has been recorded as one of the most important seed-borne destructive diseases of beans, affecting its production worldwide. Since chemical compounds cause serious damage to natural ecosystems and in some instances fail in controlling CBB, the use of genetically resistant cultivar is the most economically efficient and environmentally friendly measure in the control of CBB disease. The objective of this study was to assess the resistance reactions of widely grown and popular common bean cultivars against Xap under controlled conditions. Methods: In this study, 16 dry bean cultivars comprising eight widely grown dry bean varieties, six improved and promising genotypes and two known CBB susceptible varieties, were evaluated for their reaction to the CBB in a completely randomized design with three replications. The reaction of the bean cultivars to Xap was assessed using disease incidence, disease severity, per cent severity index, the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) and incubation period. Result: Data analysis indicated that there were highly significant differences (p≤0.01) among common bean cultivars for CBB disease incidence, disease severity, per cent severity index and AUDPC among cultivars. The cultivated varieties Noyanbey and Özmen were identified as resistant cultivars. In addition, SAP6 and BAC6 resistance genes were found in these two cultivars. As a consequence, it was thought that these cultivars could be a potential source of disease resistance for CBB in breeding programs and sustainable, eco-friendly and good agricultural practices.
