ABSTRACT

‘Verano’, Reg. No. CV-282, PI 653706, a multiple disease resistant white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar adapted to the humid tropics, was developed and released in 2007 cooperatively by the University of Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS. Verano has tolerance to high temperature and resistance to Bean golden yellow mosaic virus, a whitefly [Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)]-transmitted begomovirus, Bean common mosaic virus, and common bacterial blight [caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Smith) Dye]. The release and adoption of a high temperature–tolerant cultivar such as Verano will improve yield and seed quality of green-shelled beans produced in Puerto Rico. Verano possesses traits that may be useful to breeding programs where high temperature, viral diseases, and common bacterial blight limit bean production.
