The 'Maura 2000’ climbing bean cultivar was obtained at VRDS Buzau and patented in 2015. The cultivar was introduced into the culture and submitted to the conservative selection program in order to restrict the variability of the main characters, correlated with increasing production quality and productivity. 'Maura 2000’ shows indefinite growth, a vigorous stem, with a linear appearance that has 4-6 main branches and a height between 2-2.6 m. In greenhouses, the height increases significantly. The stem and foliage are medium green, the flowers are white - yellow grouped 8-10 in raceme, linear, arranged in pairs. The pods are yellow, slightly pearly, have a length between 18-22 cm, width 1.8-2 cm and a thickness of 0.5-0.7 cm. They are straight, slightly arched towards the top. The pods forms threads late, after the optimal harvest period has passed. The seeds are medium-sized, single-colored, white, kidney-shaped. MMB = 355,654. The aim of the study was to present the phenotypic expressiveness of the main characters manifested by the cultivar in the fields of conservative selection.
