Description
Phaseolus vulgaris is a common vegetable species in Malaysia, however its cultivation is costly and laborious, since well adapted types are climbing and require staking. A mutation induction experiment was started in order to check whether a non-winding mutant could be induced that is equally well suitable for humid tropic conditions. (author)
