Estimation of Outcrossing Rate of Faba Bean under Natural Moroccan Conditions

Background: Faba bean is a crop of agro-ecological and socio-economic importance in Morocco. Thus, changing climatic context, it important to develop varieties that are resilient several abiotic constraints, such as synthetics. However, the reproductive system must be understood. Methods: We aimed estimate faba beans outcrossing rate under natural Moroccan conditions, using two varieties, ‘Reina Mora’ ‘Zina’ phenotypic markers, seed coat color its size shape, contrasted locations, Saïs Gharb. Varieties were sown six alternate rows with seeds per row three replicates location. The experiment consisted counting number purple within ‘Zina’s beige offspring. Besides, collected from counted processed for differences shape. In total, 859 measured, including their length, width, thickness, geometric diameter, area sphericity, enabling distinguish hybrids parental self-seeds. Result: Results showed an average inter-crossing 3.7% 7.22% A more reliable open-pollination could achieved by introducing bees bumblebees colonies well same geographic gene pools.
