This study determined effectiveness of pyramided Fusarium
root rot (FRR) resistance genes and validated association of
SSR PVBR87 marker with FRR resistance in common bean.
A double cross (DC) involving four resistance sources was
used to accumulate FRR resistance genes into one background.
The DC F1 and each resistant line were crossed to two
susceptible cultivars. Parents, F1 and F2 populations were
subjected to FSP-3 in a screenhouse. Two single cross (SC) F2
populations were screened with SSR PVBR87 marker. Fiveparent
crosses performed better than single crosses. SSR
PVBR87 marker showed association with FRR resistance in
the two SC F2 populations.
