Strategies and Innovative Approaches for Food Legumes Seed Delivery in Ethiopia
Seed is the only vehicle in crop technology promotion, adoption and impact enhancement. Legumes play an important role in food and nutritional security of smallholder farmers and sustainability of farming systems in Ethiopia. ...
Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
Enhancing faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm for resilience to temperature extremes
The Western Regional Plant Introduction Station (WRPIS) is one of the four regional plant introduction stations in the US Department of Agriculture-ARS National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) with the mission of acquiring, ...
New SSR markers related to heat tolerance in faba bean under diverse environments
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important grain legume grown widely in North and East Africa as an essential source of protein for human and animal feed. It is essential to increase soil fertility through its high nitrogen ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Identification of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes and rhizobial strains for biological nitrogen fixation in under rainfed Mediterranean environments
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the major cool season legume crops cultivated in semi-arid environment worldwide and the process of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is helpful to fix atmospheric nitrogen. However, ...
Genetic diversity study of Ethiopian Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) varieties based on phenotypic traits and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest domesticated food legumes of the world. This study was designed to reveal the genetic diversity existing among 32 Ethiopian faba bean varieties grown at three locations ...
