| Title : | ACCUMULATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF DRY MATTER IN SOME COMMON BEAN LANDRACE SEEDLINGS AT THE PHASE OF THE COTYLEDONS |
| Abstract : | The landraces of common bean are cultivated all over Kosovo, along with maize or as a monoculture in small gardens. Planting area with common beans is 7,505 ha, with average yield 0.9 t ha-1, while the annual consumption per capita is 11.53 kg. The level of genetic and phenotype diversity of common bean landraces (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in Kosovo is still unknown and not enough explored. The allocation of dry matter in seedling of the common bean depends on the nutrient content in the cotyledons on principle of germination. The importance of these structures for the growth of the seedling ranges from the time of germination to the emergence of the seedling and the time when the simple leaves can realize photosynthesis. The research aim was to evaluate the diversity and variability among some common beans landraces according the accumulation and distribution of dry mater in different organs of seedling in early stage of development. The dry mater in root, cotyledon, epicotyl, hypocotyl and leaves, was analysed. For this purpose the experiment was conducted in the laboratory, random complete block design in three replications (RCBD) during 2011. The experimental model was: 10 landraces x 3 replication x 5 parameters =150 combinations. The obtained results showed a highly significant value for diversity and variability of different common beans landraces in Kosovo and the differences were highly significant on the level P0.01 and P0.05. To determine the dry weight of the structures seedling was carried out in ages of senescence of cotyledons and development simple leaves. The distribution of dry matter in the seedlings organs structures was in the following order: simple leaves 33.18%, hypocotyl 22.84%, epicotyl 8.55% and root 14.75%. |
