Faba bean (Vicia faba L.)

The parental genotype P2 recorded the highest number of branches per plant (7.85 and 6.94 branches) under well watered and rainfed treatments, respectively. While, the two crosses; P2 · P4 and P2 · P6 recorded the highest number of pods per plant in both generations under well watered and rainfed treatments.

The row spacing of 30 cm apart produced the highest seed yield of 491.1 kg/ha in the first season and 261.3 kg/ha in the second season as compared to 20 cm and 60 cm row spacing. The water use efficiency followed the same pattern as that of seed yield

This study was carried out in Mediterranean climate and under rainfed conditions in Turkey for a period of three years throughout the growing seasons of 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. It was conducted in a randomized complete block experimental design (RCBD) with three replications. In present study, genetic diversity for agro-morphological characters and macro/microelements were investigated in sixteen promising local faba bean genotypes originated from Turkey. According to the results of the study, mean grain yield varied from 2320 kg ha–1 (Tekirdağ-39) to 3130 kg ha–1 (Burdur-50).

The present investigation was undertaken to find out interrelationships among different traits and their direct and indirect contribution towards seed yield. Seed yield per plant showed significant positive correlation with pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod, branches per plant, seed size and pod yield per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic levels while with nodes per plant, plant height, 100-seed weight and harvest index at genotypic level only.

Eighteen germplasm lines with two check varieties of Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) assessed to work out the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance on different seed yield traits and divergence analysis of their various attributes on seed yield. The observations were recorded on eleven quantitative characters namely days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pods, 100-seed weight (g), biological yield per plant (g), protein content (%), harvest index (%) and seed yield per plant (g).

Plants are constantly exposed to biotic stresses, which cause changes in plant metabolism including physiological damages, leading to crop productivity losses. This study was conducted to investigate bio-fertilizer applications (i.e., phosphorein, microbein, and combination of them at a ratio of 1:1 for seed before sowing) influences on two varieties (i.e., Giza 429 and Giza 40) of Vicia faba (L.) plant performances on borne diseasesinfected soil. Growth, yield and its quality, physio-biochemical attributes, nutrient contents and disease assessment were investigated.

The present investigation was carried out during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya with the objective to estimate heterotic responses in yield component traits in 45 hybrid combinations developed by crossing 15 lines (females) with 3 testers (males). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications and observations were recorded on 5 randomly selected plants for 12 quantitative traits.

Five faba bean genotypes (Vicia faba L.) were selfed for two cycles to produce S1 and S2 generations. A half-diallel cross was carried out among them in each level of inbreeding (S0, S1 and S2) to obtain 10 F1 hybrids. Parental materials as well as their respective F1s were evaluated during the winter season of 2012. All studied traits except total dry seed yield showed significant inbreeding depression after the first generation of selfing (S1). No further decrease was noticed at the S2 generation. In the S1 generation the degree of inbreeding depression was highest for No.

Cytomixis was recorded during microsporogenesis in broad bean (Vicia faba L.), a member of the family Fabaceae. It is an important pulse crop used as vegetable, silage, forage and stock feed. The phenomenon of cytomixis was observed in various stages of meiosis in methyl methane sulphonate (MMS) treated populations of Vicia faba L. Cytomixis was observed to occur through various methods, i.e. by forming cytoplasmic channels, and direct fusion of pollen mother cells (PMCs).

A set of 189 single seed lines (validation set, v-set), derived from a natural crossing crossing between 11 founder lines, were used as a different genetic background to validate markers associated with frost tolerance and leaf fatty acid composition content in the winter faba bean.

Broad bean (Vicia faba) cotyledons that were inoculated artificially with fungal pathogens or exposed to various abiotic agents were analysed for phytoalexin production. Biotic elicitors, such as Botrytis cinerea and B. allii, and abiotic elicitors, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation (254 nm) and freezing-thawing, were used to induce phytoalexin accumulation.
