Summary:An important trait for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars with Carioca type grain is resistance to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, which causes anthracnose and a pale corona. The present study was conducted to understand the genetic control of common bean reaction to the fungus and of the corona color, to provide guides to future breeding studies. Genotypes P-45, with brown corona, and EMGOPA 201-Ouro, with yellow corona, are resistant to C. lindemuthianum. Cultivar Carioca is susceptible to anthracnose, but it has desirable grain and corona color. Anthracnose resistance and corona color were studied in the F1 and F2 generations of three populations resulting from crosses of P-45, EMGOPA 201-Ouro, and Carioca. The Carioca x P-45 cross indicated that the Mex.2 allele, which conditions resistance to the pathogen, is linked with a recombination frequency of 0.0604 ± 0.0232 to one of the alleles which determines the dark brown corona color. The EMGOPA 201-Ouro x Carioca cross revealed that the resistance allele of EMGOPA 201-Ouro was independent from the alleles which determine the yellow corona. These resistance alleles were also determined to be independent according to EMGOPA 201-Ouro x P-45 cross results. As cultivares de feijão com grão tipo Carioca devem possuir, entre outros caracteres, resistência ao Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, agente causal da antracnose, e possuir halo de cor clara. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer o controle genético desses dois caracteres, visando orientar os futuros trabalhos de melhoramento. Os genitores utilizados foram P-45, EMGOPA 201-Ouro e Carioca-300V, sendo que o P-45 possui halo marrom escuro e o EMGOPA 201-Ouro, halo amarelo, ambos resistentes ao Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. O genitor Carioca-300V é suscetível, porém possui cor de grão e de halo desejáveis. Do intercruzamento desses genitores obtiveram-se três populações que foram avaliadas nas gerações F1 e F2 para os dois caracteres. O cruzamento Carioca-300V x P-45 indicou que o alelo Mex.2, que condiciona resistência ao patógeno, está ligado a um dos alelos que determinam a cor marrom escura do halo com uma freqüência de recombinação de 0,0604 ± 0,0232. Do cruzamento EMGOPA 201-Ouro x Carioca-300V, verificou-se que o alelo de resistência do EMGOPA 201-Ouro é independente dos alelos que determinam halo amarelo e também independente do alelo de resistência Mex.2, de acordo com o cruzamento EMGOPA 201-Ouro x P-45.
