ABSTRACT
Common bean is one of the most cultivated vegetables globally and in Turkey. Especially in areas
with a temperate climate, the losses in productivity and quality limit production due to high temperatures.
Thus, the present study aimed to determine the bean genotypes tolerant to high temperature stress and
to reduce the above-mentioned yield and quality losses to benefit the researchers and producers. In the
present study, 46 bean genotypes and 2 bean cultivars, determined to be tolerant and sensitive to high
temperatures in previous studies, were used. Variations in 0-5 visual scale value, plant fresh and dry
weight, root fresh and dry weight, stem diameter, plant height, leaf number and area, relative leaf water
content, membrane damage index and ion (K and Ca) content were determined in bean plants. Bean
seeds were sown in 2-liter pots containing 2:1 peat + perlite mixture, 3 plants per pot based on the
randomized blocks experimental design. From the seed sowing until the first real leaf appearance, the
pots were irrigated with tap water and then, the pots were irrigated with Hoagland nutrient solution. The
control plants were grown in a polyethylene greenhouse and the plants subjected to high temperature
were grown in an extra polyethylene covered high tunnel in a polyethylene greenhouse to create high
temperature stress. There was a daytime temperature difference of 6ºC (optimum: 32.17ºC for high
temperature application; optimum: 26.17ºC for control application) between the control and high
temperature applications. The analyzes conducted on the plants revealed that the genotypes V21, V28,
V32, V82, T65, and V-a1 and cv. Yakutiye were tolerant to high temperature stress, while the genotypes
V88, V89, T7, and T72 and cv. Zulbiye were the sensitive ones.
