Abstract

Abstract‘UC Sunrise’ (Reg. no. CV‐333, PI 693474) is a new cultivar of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) developed by crossing the heirloom type ‘Zuni Gold’ with UCD 9634 pink bean. UC Sunrise has a seed type similar to heirloom cultivars such as Zuni Gold but is resistant to Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and has yields 50% higher than its heirloom parent. Tastings have also demonstrated that it maintains culinary quality similar to its heirloom parent. All evaluations were conducted on certified organic farms. UC Sunrise will help fill a growing interest in heirloom‐like dry bean with improved agronomic performance.
