Abstract

AAC Expedition is a high-yielding pinto dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with a semi-upright, indeterminate bush (type IIb) growth habit, large seed size, low percentage of hard seed, and bright seed coat colour. Its improved seed quality traits, particularly its bright seed coat colour, low percentage of hard seeds after soaking, and high yield potential, will make AAC Expedition a preferred pinto bean cultivar for commercial production. AAC Expedition, developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, Lethbridge, AB, is well suited for commercial production under irrigation in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
