Abstract

Snap bean is a type of common bean with fresh fleshy tender pods having reduced fiber content in pod-wall and is considered an important legume vegetable used for cooking or canning. The biological material was composed by 20 varieties of bushing snap bean genetically and ecologically differentiated. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replications. From each plot five randomly selected plants were evaluated for the following pod traits: weight, length, width, thickness and firmness. The objective of this study was to assess the variability of some pod traits in 20 varieties of snap bean to identify the suitable genitors for breeding activities. Based of the five pod traits the 20 varieties of bushing snap bean were grouped into five clusters with a 27 % average phenotypic diversity.  The present work shows that some varieties can be considered a valuable material for several pod traits, that could be successively used in further breeding program of bushing snap bean including diallel crossing methods and will be relevant as a good base for the development of new cultivars.
