‘UC Southwest Gold’ (Reg. no. CV‐337, PI 693470) is a dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) descended from ‘Zuni Gold’ and UCD 9634 pink bean. UC Southwest Gold is an F 3:7 line with an heirloom‐like seed coat similar to Zuni Gold but with resistance to Bean common mosaic virus and yields 60% higher than its heirloom parent. Culinary evaluations have shown that it displays cooking properties comparable to Zuni Gold. Field trials were carried out on certified organic ground. UC Southwest Gold will contribute toward satisfying an increasing market demand for more productive and economical heirloom‐type common bean cultivars.
