Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is an important legume crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Most of the local varieties are favoured for their colour and taste, but have a low yield potential of 0.3 to 0.5 metric tonnes per hectare. Mutation breeding is a crop improvement tool in beans that can create new alleles, which when advanced beyond mutated generation 5 (M5), produces stable mutants, which may possess desirable characteristics. These mutants may result in rapid genetic advance and help address issues of low bean productivity. The objective of this study was to cluster bean mutants from a bean mutation breeding programme, based on heterotic groupings. This was achieved by genotyping 16 bean genotypes, using 21 Simple Sequence Re...
