Feed the Future Grain Legumes Project Database
Data from this project focuses on the evaluation of breeding lines. Significant progress was made in advancing breeding populations directed towards release of improved varieties in Tanzania. Thirty promising F4:7, 1st generation 2014 PIC (Phaseolus Improvement Cooperative) and ~100 F4:6, 2nd generation 2015 PIC breeding lines were selected. In addition, ~300 F4:5, 3rd generation 2016 PIC single plant selections were completed in Arusha and Mbeya. These breeding lines, derived from 109 PIC populations specifically developed to combine abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, showed superior agronomic potential compared with checks and local landraces. The diversity, scale, and potential of the material in the PIC breeding pipeline is invaluable and requires continued support to ensure the release of varieties that promise to increase the productivity of common bean in the E. African region.
Data available includes databases, spreadsheets, and images related to the project.

Resource Title: Anthracnose Screening of Andean Diversity Panel (ADP) .
File Name: Anthracnose-screening-of-ADP.pdf
Resource Description: Approximately 230 ADP lines of the ADP were screened with 8 races of anthracnose under controlled conditions at Michigan State University. Dr. James Kelly has provided this valuable dataset for sharing in light of the Open Data policy of the US government. This dataset represents the first comprehensive screening of the ADP with a broad set of races of a specific pathogen.

Resource Description: The complete list of PIC breeding populations (Excel Format)
PIC (Phaseolus Improvement Cooperative) populations are bulked populations for improvement of common bean in Feed the Future Countries, with a principal focus on sub-Saharan Africa. These populations are for distribution to collaborators, are segregating for key biotic and abiotic stress constraints, and can be used for selection and release of improved cultivars/germplasm. Many of these populations are derived from crosses between ADP landrances and cultivars from sub-Saharan Africa and other improved genotypes with key biotic or abiotic stress tolerance. Phenotypic and genotypic information related to the parents of the crosses can be found in the ADP Database.
