ACCUMULATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF DRY MATTER IN SOME COMMON BEAN LANDRACE SEEDLINGS AT THE PHASE OF THE COTYLEDONS

The landraces of common bean are cultivated all over Kosovo, along with maize or as a monoculture in small gardens. Planting area with common beans is 7,505 ha, with average yield 0.9 t ha-1, while the annual consumption per capita is 11.53 kg. The level of genetic and phenotype diversity of common...

Description
Summary:The landraces of common bean are cultivated all over Kosovo, along with maize or as a monoculture in small gardens. Planting area with common beans is 7,505 ha, with average yield 0.9 t ha-1, while the annual consumption per capita is 11.53 kg. The level of genetic and phenotype diversity of common bean landraces (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in Kosovo is still unknown and not explored. The research aimed to evaluate the diversity and variability among some common beans landraces according to the accumulation and distribution of dry mater in different organs of seedling in early stage of development. The dry mater in root, cotyledon, epicotyl, hypocotyl and leaves, was analysed. To determine the dry weight of the structures seedling was carried out in ages of senescence of cotyledons and development simple leaves. The distribution of dry matter in the seedlings organs structures was in the following order: simple leaves 33.18%, hypocotyl 22.84%, epicotyl 8.55% and root 14.75%.
