Narrative
‘Eiger’ great northern bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), developed by Michigan State University AgBioResearch was released in 2020 as a high-yielding, upright, full-season cultivar with anthracnose [caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. et Magnus) Lams.-Scrib] resistance and acceptable canning quality. Eiger was developed using pedigree breeding method to the F4 generation followed by pure line selection for disease, agronomic and quality traits. In 4-yr of field trials, Eiger yielded 3166 kg ha-1 over 15 locations in mid-Michigan, flowered in 44 d and matured in 98 d on average. Plants averaged 54 cm in height, with lodging resistance score of 1.3 and seed weight of 38.7 g 100 seed-1. Eiger combines high yield potential and erect architecture with full-season maturity in a great northern seed type. Eiger has resistance to lodging, high pod placement within plant structure making it suitable for direct harvest under narrow row production systems. The upright architecture also contributes to avoidance of white mold [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary], a disease that is intensified in narrow rows. Eiger is resistant to races 73 and 109 of anthracnose present in Michigan, and produces a top necrosis reaction to strain NL 3 of Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV). Eiger produces seed that meets industry standards for export and packaging, and canning quality was rated acceptable for the great northern bean seed class.

Pedigree
Description:
Parentage: Eiger, tested as MSU great northern bean breeding line G16351, was developed from a cross of Eldorado pinto cultivar and MSU great northern breeding line G13467. Eldorado pinto is a high yielding, upright pinto bean cultivar with good avoidance to white mold. MSU breeding line G13467 is an upright great northern bean with anthracnose resistance that was derived from cross of X09107/ Eldorado.
