Abstract: Dry bean is considered as one of the major legume crop with big number of landraces grown in Bulgaria. Local forms of Phaseolus spp. are conserved on farm in different geographical regions and show a wide morphological diversity. The aim of our study was to collect, conserve and characterize local populations of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus coccineus L. typically grown in Smilyan, Troyan and Velingrad regions. The most popular local forms were characterized using different approaches. In this paper we will present results from morphological characterization and phythopathological evaluation. Qualitative and quantitative traits were assessed on 50 accessions of Phaseolus spp. during vegetation cycle. All information was documented in European electronic catalog “EURISCO” and is available on line (http://eurisco.ecpgr.org)
Keywords: diversity, common bean, landraces, conservation
