Summary
Allozyme genotypes were determined at 10 loci for 90 cultivars of white seeded snap beans. Within cultivars the loci were homozygous and usually monomorphic, permitting the characterization of most cultivars by a single set of allozymes. A total of 72 allozyme combinations were observed among the cultivars tested, and 52 (58%) of the cultivars could be uniquely distinguished by allozyme genotype alone. The remaining 38 lines could be separated into small groups of 2–5 cultivars each.
