Abstract

French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 2n = 2x = 22 belongs to the family Fabaceae, is a native of Latin America. Over a period of at least 7,000 – 8,000 years, French bean had evolved from a wild growing vine viz., Phaseolus aborigineus distributed in the highlands of middle America and Andes (Brucher, 1988). Having short duration and being a nutritious legume vegetable crop, it is becoming popular with the farmers of India. It is known by different names, viz., kidney bean, haricot bean, snap bean, navy bean, pole bean, bush bean etc. (Daisy 1979). The dry seed type varieties are called as “Rajmah” in India.
