Heritability of resistance to web blight in five common bean populations

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in the humid tropics would benefit from the selection of cultivars with greater levels of resistance to web blight, a devastating disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. This will require screening techniques that are sensitive enough to detect moder...
