Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) are among the most economically important virus species infecting common bean. The use of resistant plant cultivars is the most effective way to control these viruses. National dry bean breeding studies have been conducted by seven different governmental agricultural research institutes in Turkey, and advanced breeding lines have been developed by using the selected local dry bean populations and crossing studies. In this study, 204 breeding lines were tested for resistance levels to BCMV and BCMNV. Initially, BCMNV NL-3 and BCMV NL-4 strains were individually sap-inoculated onto the leaves of bean plants belonging to each breeding lines with 10 replications, and the reactions of plants were evaluated for symptomatic appearance of virus infection 21 days after inoculation. Additionally, phenotypic evaluation was confirmed by molecular markers linked to resistance genes. As a result of the study, 153 breeding lines were found to involve the dominant I gene whereas four and five of the tested lines had the recessive genes bc-1² and bc-2², respectively. In conclusion, it was emphasized that these breeding lines could be registered after evaluating them in terms of yield and quality. Also, the use of seeds of the resistant lines to supply the source of virus-resistance in breeding studies and maintaining their seeds at the national genebank were recommended.
