A novel snap pea cultivar, designated Sugar Deuce, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of pea cultivar Sugar Deuce, to the plants of pea line Sugar Deuce and to methods for producing a pea plant by crossing the cultivar Sugar Deuce with itself or another pea line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a pea plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other pea lines derived from the cultivar Sugar Deuce.
The quality of snap bean seed stock is improved by reducing the number of stringed or hard-point bean plants by selecting out seed which have their placenta attached. This can be done by hand-picking.
Mechanical Removal Of Flat Pod Rogues From Snap Bean Seed
Flat pod rogues are removed from snap bean seed stock by a mechanical separation process wherein the seeds are first sized through a plurality of round holes and each size category is then further sized on slotted screens wherein the size of the slots is slightly smaller than the diameter of the round holes through which that size of beans passed, whereby the flat seeds pass through the slots and the round seeds are retained on the screen. Preferably, the slotted screens have diverging slots with a plurality of separate bins thereunder whereby the roundest seeds will travel farthest on the rods and beans can be divided into several degrees of roundness.

Abstract:
A pea cultivar, designated Esmeralda, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds, plants, and plant parts of pea cultivar Esmeralda and to methods for producing a pea plant by crossing the cultivar Esmeralda with itself or another pea cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a pea plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic pea plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to pea cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from pea cultivar Esmeralda, to methods for producing other pea cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from pea cultivar Esmeralda and to the pea plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid pea seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar Esmeralda with another pea cultivar.
