Details for: PI 680582, Phaseolus vulgaris L., 'ND Palomino'

ND-Palomino slow darkening pinto bean is a cultivar jointly developed by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES) and the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS). A new naturally occurring gene in common bean has been discovered which reduces the rate and amount of after-darkening for pinto beans in storage (known as the sd gene). Pinto beans are prone to seed darkening caused by delayed harvest and/or poor storage conditions. Growers are penalized by getting a discounted price while creating marketing issues for processors/packers. In addition to the slow darkening trait, ND-Palomino has shown competitive agronomic performance comparable with other pinto cultivars commonly grown in North Dakota. Moreover, seed yield of ND-Palomino is significantly higher than the original sources of the sd gene, which shows genetic progress for improving seed yield within this market class. Other traits of agronomic/economic importance are within acceptable commercial ranges.
