Snap Bean Association Panel Passport Data

The accessions used to create the Snap Bean Diversity Panel (SnAP) were 378 snap bean cultivars and germplasm lines selected from North American and European germplasm. This panel supplements the 150 member Bean CAP snap bean diversity panel (SBDP) with an additional 228 snap bean accessions. The Bean CAP SBDP was developed with support from the Common Bean Coordinated Agriculture Project (USDA-NIFA grant no. 2009-85606-05964). The accompanying data set contains information, where known, about pod traits and plant growth habit, USDA-NPGS Plant Introduction (PI) number, who bred the cultivar, market class and pod sieve size, plant variety protection (PVP) number and release date. The Bean CAP was a project to genotype and phenotype common bean diversity panels consisting of both dry and snap beans. The main phenotypic focus was on nutritional traits. However, with genotypic data in hand, the panel can be can be phenotyped for other traits and the combined genotypic and phenotypic data can be used for genetic analysis.
