health and nutritive quality of common bean seed. This study aimed to identify
genetically stable essential minerals in common bean. Eleven diverse common
bean genotypes were grown in three distinct growing environments and 17 essential
minerals were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy.
Genetic control of mineral composition in common bean seed was demonstrated
by large (p<0.01) genotypic differences in Ca and Sr contents and moderate
genotypic difference was observed in Fe content. Significant influence of genotype
and environments (GxE) interaction was observed in the content of all minerals.
The ratios between genetic and environmental variances and between genetic and
GxE variances indicated the greater influence and stability of genetic factor
on the concentration of Ca and Sr in common bean seed. Significant positive
correlations among important minerals such as Zn with S, P, Fe and Na and Cu
with K, Mg, Ni, P were identified. The stability of genetic effects on Ca and
Sr concentration in common bean has been identified in this study. Calcium is
one of the most important minerals which regulates many cellular processes and
has important structural roles in living organisms. Further studies to characterize
Ca physiology in common bean may identify genetic or biochemical markers to
expedite breeding common bean with enhanced Ca concentration.]]>Abbo, S., M.A. Grusak, T. Tzuk and R. Reifen,2000119427431Akond, A.S.M.G.M., H. Crawford, J. Berthold, Z.I. Talukder and K.
