SNP discovery and validation for genomic-assisted breeding of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
SNP discovery and validation for genomic-assisted breeding of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
Faba Bean
Faba bean was first domesticated in the Near East about 10,000 BC. It is now grown
worldwide on 2.56 million ha with a yield of 4.56 million tons. The traditional landraces are
affected by the different biotic and abiotic ...
A new approach to mining agricultural gene banks – to speed the pace of research innovation for food security
‘FIGS’: A more precise approach to mining agricultural gene banks.
This report presents the possibilities of ‘FIGS’, a new technique for searching agricultural genebanks, that helps crop breeders and their managers achieve ...
Agricultural Research Collaboration in Tajikistan
This Working Paper presents an overview of the collaborative research and capacity building done by
international research centers and their partners in Tajikistan since 2006 for increasing the productivity of
agricultural ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
Misr 3, a New Orobanche Tolerant Faba Bean Variety
Ten promising Orobanche tolerant faba bean genotypes were evaluated with
Misr 1 and Giza 843 (tolerant) and Giza 40 (susceptible) under free and highly
Orobanche infested fields at Giza Research Station from 2005/06 to ...
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
