Details for: PI 653257, Phaseolus vulgaris L., 'SHOSHONE'

Light colored slow darkening pinto Shoshone dry bean has an indeterminate semi-prostrate growth habit Type III with small to medium length vine. The average length of the central leaflet of fully developed trifoliolate leaf is 9 cm and width 7 cm. The flower bracteoles are large chordate. Flower color is white with the absence of stripes at the outer base of the standard. Shoshone has mean maturity of 94 d in southern Idaho. Average yield of Shoshone was 2132 lbs A-1 in southern Idaho, 1852 lbs A-1 in the western USA and 2607 lbs A-1 across 10 locations in the USA and Canada. Mean weight of the 100 seeds of Shoshone was 36 g in southern Idaho. After eight months of storage at room temperature Shoshone had seed coat darkening score of 4 compared to 6 for Othello , 7 for Poncho, and 9 for Kodiak. Shoshone has resistance to the NY-15 and US-6 strains of BCMV and the NL-3K strain of BCMNV. Shoshone also has the SCAR marker SW 13 thus indicating that it possesses the bc-3 and I genes imparting resistance to all known strains of BCMV and BCMNV. Shoshone is also resistant to the race 38 of U. appendiculatus. However, Shoshone exhibits an intermediate reaction or small pustules when exposed to the rust pathogen race 53. Shoshone is moderately tolerant to Fusarium root rot and BCTV. Shoshone is susceptible to anthracnose, common bacterial blight, halo blight, and white mold. Shoshone has high levels of resistance to heat and intermittent drought. Shoshone is highly susceptible to severe soil zinc deficiency and manganese toxicity. Shoshone was developed for 90 to 95 days frost-free bean production regions of southern Idaho. Shoshone also has exhibited a broad adaptation in warmer bean growing environments in the Western and Mid-western USA and Canada.
