Description:
Desert Song, tested as MSU bean breeding line R11801, was developed from the cross between MSU breeding lines X07712 and X07721. X07712 was derived from the cross of FM99016/Sedona; and X07721 was derived from the cross of Merlot/ FJ Marcela. The overall purpose of the cross was to develop locally adapted upright Flor de Junio seed type for production in temperate bean production areas.
