  1. Beans have multiple recessive genetic traits.
  2. Being a perennial, it can easily be cultivated in tubs or gardens.
  3. Being bisexual causes self-implantation.
  4. Artificial hybridization is easy because the flowers are large.
  5. Being a perennial, hybridization results are available very quickly.
  6. Plants produced by hybridization are fertile and capable of reproduction.
