Abstract

The relationships among different traits of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were evaluated during a field study conducted in Iran during spring 2004. Data were recorded for plant height, number of pods per plant, seed yield, number of seeds per pod, pod height, biomass yield and harvest index. There were significant differences for all characters except, harvest index. There were positive and significant correlations between number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant and pod length, with grain yield. Factor analysis showed that the first factor with number of pods per plant, seed yield and number of seeds per pod were the important traits in relation to seed yield in common bean. Cluster analysis separated the genotypes to three distinct groups with high, moderate and low yields
