Integrating Prognostic Breeding Approach Through Phenotypic and Marker-Assisted Selection for Yield and BCMV Resistance in Common Bean Greek Landraces
Addressing principal challenges in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding requires a holistic approach. A combined strategy was implemented to assess seven genotypes (landraces and commercial varieties) for yield potential, stability and resistance to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) under Mediterranean low-input conditions. Pure-line selection and prognostic breeding together with SSR and CAPS-SCAR marker-assisted selection (MAS) formed the core methodology. Significant variation was detected across 24 morpho-agronomic descriptors, while SSR revealed 48.57% polymorphic loci and private alleles in specific landraces. High genetic coefficients of variation and high heritability were recorded for yield-related traits. Phenotypical evaluation showed diverse responses to BCMV, with mild symptoms predominating (52.14%). Entries G1 (45%) and G5 (35%) exhibited the highest frequency of the symptomless resistant phenotype. Molecular screening at I and bc-3/eIF4E loci confirmed G5’s robust dominant I gene profile, while G1 included individuals carrying both the dominant I gene and recessive bc-3, offering a valuable source for pyramiding resistance. Additionally, G1 (LI = 2.35; 100%) performed strongly in productivity, whereas G2 (SI = 3.1; 100%) and G7 (SI = 2.8; 89.7%) exhibited exceptional stability. Overall, the mixed-model approach highlighted the complementary characteristics of the tested genotypes and identified G1, G2, G5 and G7 as promising candidates for future breeding programs targeting high yield, low-input adaptability and resistance to BCMV.
