resistant to Race 53 and all indigenous rust races prevalent in Michigan; presence of the Ur-3 gene was confirmed using a linked RAPD marker (3). Raven is tolerant to Michigan isolates of halo blight [caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Burkholder) Young et al.] and is susceptible to Michigan isolates of root rot [caused primarily by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. f. sp. phaseoli (Burkholder) W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hans.], common blight [caused by Xanthomonas phaseoli (Smith) Dowson], and white mold [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary] in spite of the avoidance afforded by its upright plant architecture. Raven has a small flat black seed averaging 16.5 g 100 seed", and ranged from 16 to 20 g 100 seed". The seed is slightly smaller than other cultivars, but is equivalent in color and shape to other commercial black bean cultivars. Raven has been subjectively rated by a team of panelists as being acceptable in canning quality. Raven scored 2.8, which was equivalent to other commercial black bean cultivars on a fivepoint hedonic scale (where 5 is best). This evaluation is based on whole-bean integrity, uniformity of si/e, color retention when cooked, and clear brine. Raven does not differ from other commercial cultivars for cooked color, texture, hydration, and drained weight ratios. Raven black bean has been released as a public nonexclusive variety, with a research fee to be assessed on each unit (hundredweight) of certified seed sold. Variety protection has been applied for under the Plant Variety Protection Act, Public Law 91-577, with the option that Raven may be sold for seed by name only under the certified class. Breeder seed is maintained by the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, East Lansing, MI 48824, in cooperation with the Michigan Foundation Seed Association.
