| Title : | PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ACCESSIONS OF FABA BEAN (VICIA FABA L.) STORED IN THE GENETIC BANK OF ALBANIA |
| Abstract : | The study was done to determine the variation of 12 morphological and agronomic traits in 17 landraces of faba bean (Vicia faba), collected in areas of Albania and stored in the Genetic Bank of Albania, to use them for cultivation purposes or in genetic improvement programs in function of agricultural production. For the purpose of this study, 12 morphological and agronomic traits were analyzed: leaf length, leaf width, plant height, number of branches on the main stem, number of pods per plant, number of kernels per pod, number of kernels per plant, pod length, pod width, kernel length, kernel width and 100 kernel weight. Validated differences were found for all 12 morphological and agronomic traits. The landraces of faba bean are valued as material for the cultivation of faba bean for the production of legumes and grains. We consider that the large load of the plant with fruit organs can affect the reduction of the weight of 100 kernels. |
