Narrative
‘Yukon Gold’ yellow bean, developed by Michigan State University AgBioResearch was released in 2024 as an upright, determinate, bush type, mid-season cultivar with a bright yellow seedcoat color and virus resistance. Yukon Gold was developed using the pedigree breeding method to F4 generation followed by pure line selection for disease, agronomic and quality traits. In 4 yr of field trials, Yukon Gold yielded 3116 kg ha-1, flowered in 43 d and matured in 96 d on average. Plants averaged 41 cm in height, with a lodging resistance score of 1.8 and seed weight of 43.1 g 100 seed-1. Yukon Gold is well adapted to growing conditions in Michigan and produces seeds with an intense yellow seedcoat color which is brighter than other yellow bean cultivars. Yukon Gold is resistant to lodging and possesses a determinate upright growth habit with tolerance to white mold. Yukon Gold is resistant to Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), is susceptible to anthracnose race 7 and common bacterial blight (CBB). Yukon Gold produces excellent seed color that exceeds industry standards for the yellow bean market class.

Pedigree
Description:
Yukon Gold, tested as MSU yellow bean breeding line Y19817, was developed from the cross of X16908/Yellowstone. X16908 was an F4 selection derived from the cross of Y11405*/UC Canario 707. This selection had excellent bright yellow color derived from the Canario seed class parent developed at UC-Davis (Palkovic et al., 2015). MSU breeding line Y11405 also possessed good yellow color and desirable agronomic traits but lacked I gene and was therefore susceptible to BCMV. Yellowstone was a recent MSU variety with good yellow seed color, I gene, and desirable agronomic traits. The purpose of the cross was to combine desirable agronomic and improved bright yellow seed traits of the parents while maintaining high yield potential.
