A new variety of garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) designated Pelican is provided. Garden bean variety Pelican is characterized by its dark green pods in mainly the 4 sieve class, heat tolerance, erect plant habit, and resistance to Colletotrichum lindemuthiunum (Anthracnose) and resistance to many races of Uromyces appendiculatus (Rust).

The invention provides seed and plants of the bean line SVGG2118. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of bean line SVGG2118 and to methods for producing a bean plant produced by crossing a plant of bean line SVGG2118 with itself or with another bean plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of bean line SVGG2118, including the pods and gametes of such plants.

The invention provides seed and plants of the bean line SVGW1203. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of bean line SVGW1203 and to methods for producing a bean plant produced by crossing a plant of bean line SVGW1203 with itself or with another bean plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of bean line SVGW1203, including the pods and gametes of such plants.

A new variety of garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) designated Sanford is provided. Garden bean variety Sanford is characterized by its dark green pods in mainly the 4 sieve class, heat tolerance, strong, erect and vigorous plant habit, and resistance to Colletotrichum lindemuthiunum (Anthracnose) and resistance to many races of Uromyces appendiculatus (Rust).

A novel garden bean cultivars, designated HMX5107 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of garden bean cultivars HMX5107, to the plants of garden bean line HMX5107, and to methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the cultivar HMX5107 with itself or another bean line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a bean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other garden bean lines derived from the cultivar HMX5107.

The invention provides processes for marker assisted selection of common beans expressing volatile compounds that provide flavor traits associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or sequences flanking SNPs, as well as allele-specific oligo sequence primers configured to anneal to related SNPs and to report the presence or absence of SNPs with fluorescent signals using a PCR assay, a KASP assay (i.e., modified PCR assay), or other molecular marker assay, e.g., SSR, capable of identifying the presence or absence of SNPs and/or portions of flanking sequences of the SNPs, all of which enhances selection efficiency in common bean breeding strategies.

A new variety of garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) designated Lunar is provided. Garden bean variety Lunar is characterized by its dark green pods in mainly the 4 sieve class, heat tolerance, strong, compact and erect plant habit, and resistance to several races of Colletotrichum lindemuthiunum (Anthracnose) and Uromyces appendiculatus (Rust).

A new garden bean variety (Phaseolus vulgaris L) designated as PV-857, particularly characterized by resistance to Anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) and Bean rust (Uromyces appendiculatus), is provided.

The present invention provides novel garden bean cultivar Outlaw and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a bean plant by crossing the bean plants of the invention with themselves or another bean plant. The invention also provides bean plants produced from such a crossing as well as plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom.

The invention provides seed and plants of the bean line SVGA4608. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of bean line SVGA4608 and to methods for producing a bean plant produced by crossing a plant of bean line SVGA4608 with itself or with another bean plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of bean line SVGA4608, including the pods and gametes of such plants.
