Bean variety svgn1174

Abstract

The invention provides seed and plants of the bean line SVGN1174. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of bean line SVGN1174 and to methods for producing a bean plant produced by crossing a plant of bean line SVGN1174 with itself or with another bean plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of bean line SVGN1174, including the pods and gametes of such plants.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of plant breeding and, more specifically, to the development of bean line SVGN1174.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The goal of crop breeding is to combine various desirable traits in a single variety / hybrid. Such desirable traits may include any trait deemed beneficial by a grower and / or consumer including greater yield, resistance to insects or pathogens, tolerance environmental stress, better agronomic quality, higher nutritional value, growth rate and fruit or pod properties.[0003]Breeding techniques take advantage of a plant's method of pollination. There are two general methods of pollination: a plant self-pollinates if pollen from one flower is transferred to the same or another flower of the same plant or plant variety. A plant cross-pollinates if pollen comes to it from a flower of a different plant variety.[0004]Plants that have been self-pollinated and selected for type over many generations become hom...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new bean plant variety, designated SVGN1174, and its related parts. The invention also includes methods for producing seeds, plants, and tissue cultures of this new variety. The new variety has specific physical and biological characteristics that make it different from other bean plants. The invention also provides new hybrid seeds and plants produced by crossing two parent bean plants, at least one of which is a plant of the new variety. The new variety has potential uses in agricultural production and can be genetically modified to have desired traits. The invention also provides new genetic markers for identifying and selecting plants with the new variety.

Problems solved by technology

Conversely, a cross of two plants each heterozygous at a number of loci produces a population of hybrid plants that differ genetically and are not uniform.

The resulting non-uniformity makes performance unpredictable.
