During the crop-growing season, maximum and minimum air temperatures were 33°C and 16.6°C in 2008, 35.5°C and 16.1°C in 2009 and 33.0°C and 17.5°C in 2010, respectively. The incident solar radiation ranged from 9.1 to 23.6 MJ m-2 d-1 in 2008, 11.7 to 25.7 MJ m-2 d-1 in 2009 and 6.8 to 22.4 MJ m-2 d-1 in 2010. The total rainfall during the active crop growth was 161 mm in 2008, 59 mm in 2009 and 224 mm in 2010. The potential pan evaporation was of 393 mm in 2008, 462 mm in 2009 and 340 mm in 2010. 140 Engaging Smallholder Farmers | Tropical Legumes II Project

It can be crossed with common bean only with great difficulty and using embryo rescue, but over several years of effort, we have accumulated a sizable number of interspecific progenies. The most drought resistant were identified and intercrossed, and selections from a second cycle were evaluated under terminal drought in 2009. A very unusual line, INB 841, was identified with high level of resistance to wilting, and unusually rapid pod development. Root evaluations suggest that the root system of this line is NOT superior, thus we suspect that it may possess possible mechanisms of stomatal regulation and/or osmotic adjustment to resist wilting. Its trait of rapid pod elongation may also be associated with hormonal regulation of pod growth and development. We are evaluating progenies of this line, which currently are in the F3 generation, to test empirically whether these traits could contribute to improving drought resistance in common bean. Interspecific crosses with runner bean As part of another BMZ project, combinations of drought resistance and aluminum (Al) tolerance were sought. Accessions of runner bean, or Phaseolus coccineus, proved to be highly resistant to Al, and were crossed to drought resistant line SER 16. This cross was designed to combine the vigor and biomass of runner bean with the remobilization capacity of SER 16. The resulting population was subjected to intensive study of root attributes, revealing large differences in rooting patterns and morphology that are relevant for improvement of common bean for drought resistance. Runner bean has a coarse, rugged root system with thick basal roots that can penetrate acid soil under drying conditions much better than common bean. Some lines from the runner bean source display less wilting. Some progenies of runner bean tend to produce large biomass and excellent yield potential, likely reflecting in part their vigorous root system, and we are using these lines as parents in combination with sources of enhanced photosynthate remobilization, for improved yields. This is still another source of traits that are being investigated as potentially relevant for drought resistance. Data presented in Table 6-22 represent yields under drought induced by limited water supply during the vegetative phase, followed by soil drying through much of the reproductive phase. All ALB lines are derived from the cross of runner bean with SER Progress of Phase 1 141
