The Lathyrus species are wild relatives of cultivated peas. Results of morphological, anatomical and physiological analyses of Lathyrus latifolius L. are presented in this paper. Certain measured parameters and observed morphological characteristics are not in agreement with available literature data, whereas no reference to the winged stem width, length of inflorescence pedicle, calyx length a...

Legumes considered as one of the most important crops worldwide. Due to high price as a PDO product, commercial products of "Fava Santorinis" are often subjected to adulterations from other legume products coming from other Lathyrus or Vicia and Pisum species. Using plant DNA barcoding regions (trnL and rpoC) coupled with High Resolution Melting (Bar-HRM) we have developed a method allowing us ...

The grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a dual purpose forage seed legume crop. It has a good potential as winter forage legume under Saudi Arabian conditions. This study was conducted in 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons to evaluate 15 selection lines of the Grass Pea for forage, seed yields and other growth characters. Combined analysis of data from the two years revealed significant difference between...

effect of electron beam irradiation on degradability coefficients and ruminal- postruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of soybean meal, canola meal and lathyrus sativus seed, irradiated at doses of 50, 100 and 150 kgy was investigated. ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein was determined by in situ method using two cannulated holstein heifers. ruminal- postrumi...

Chemical Composition, Gas Production Parameters and In Vitro Digestibility of Processed Grass Pea (Lathyrus Sativus) Residues with Some Chemicals

twenty accessions of cultivated grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.) and wild species of lathyrus l.collected from western and southern regions of iran were evaluated for their mitotic metaphase chromosomalcharacteristics. all populations comprising 16 populations of cultivated l. sativus and 4 wild populations oflathyrus l. were diploid, 2n=2x=14 chromosomes. there were significant variations among...
