U.  aCombining ability as a strategy for selecting common bean parents and populations resistant to white mold.h[electronic resource]  c2018  aCommon bean parents and populations resistant to white mold (WM, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) were selected based on estimates of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for WM severity in three field nurseries in Brazil. Twenty-seven populations were obtained by partial diallel crosses between parents from two groups: GI) three sources of partial resistance identified abroad and GII) nine Brazilian cultivars and elite lines. Populations were advanced in bulk up to the F6 generation. The overall mean of WM severity from combined analysis ranged from 2.83 to 5.03 (scale of 1 to 9 scores) in the F6 population. The score of the susceptible control BRS Requinte was 7.21. The GI parents K-59, in Oratórios, MG, and Viçosa, MG, and K-407 and PI204717, in Goianira, GO, contributed to increase resistance to WM. The most promising populations for obtaining elite lines resistant to WM were K-59/BRS Executivo, PI204717/BRS Campeiro, PI204717/Jalo Precoce, K-59/BRS Radiante, and K-407/BRS Cometa.  aBeans  aDiallel analysis  aDisease resistance  aPlant breeding  aSclerotinia  aCruzamento Dialélico  aFeijão  aMelhoramento Genético Vegetal  aPhaseolus Vulgaris  aResistência  aSclerotinia Sclerotiorum  aVariedade Resistente1 aMELO, P.
