Selection of common bean families resistant to anthracnose and angular leaf spot

The objective of this work was to select common bean families resistant to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Phaeoisariopsis griseola and, also, with superior agronomical traits. Families used were obtained from crosses of H91 lineage, bearer of three alleles resistant to anthracnose, and F2;5 families derived from the cultivar Jalo EEP 558, which is resistant to angular leaf spot. Square lattice design was used in all experiments. Initially the F2:3 families (144) were evaluated in the winter of 2004, in Lavras county, MG, Brazil, based on grain type. Eighty families (F2:4) were selected and evaluated with the check BRSMG Talismã, in the wet periods of 2004/2005, in the same place. Considering grain type, anthracnose and angular leaf spot resistances, 48 families (F2:5) were selected and evaluated in the dry period of 2005, in two places, Lavras and Lambari, MG. These 48 families were also inoculated with the 2047, 73 and 1545 races of C. lindemuthianum, in order to verify the presence of alleles of resitance Co-4², Co-5 and Co-7, respectively. Genotypes with anthracnose resistance were identified in most families, four of which are outstanding for their ideal 'Carioca'-like grain, with upright plant, high grain yield and resistance to angular leaf spot.
