Abstract

A Differential response of navy beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to Zn stress was reported in 1964. Saginaw variety was tolerant to low Zn levels, while Sanilac was extremely susceptible. These two varieties were employed in a genetic and physiologic study of Zn utilization. The ultimate goal of this investigation is to determine the physiologic or anatomic mechanism(s) active in the differential response, and the genetic control of this mechanism. However this particular study has only established a foundation for further investigation pertaining to the genetic control and physiologic mechanisms related to Zn utilization.
