Legumes are an alternative to animal foods due their high protein content. Like other legumes, Vicia faba (faba bean) has However, bean breeding with classical methods is challenging inbreeding depression, self-incompatibility, and abortive embryo formation. The inadequacy of the problems in fertilization biology plant limits production new varieties. Therefore, importance using vitro haploidiz...

The influence on the nutrients content (soluble sugars, starch, dietary fibre and calcium) and antinutritional factors (a-galactosides and phytic acid) of faba beans (Vicia faba, L. major) of soaking in different solutions (distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate solutions), cooking the presoaked seeds, dryheating and germination have been studied. Soaking brought about a decrease ...

Detached broad bean (Vicia faba L.) leaflets were water stressed; within 15 minutes, guard-cell abscisic acid (ABA) concentration increased ninefold. This result eliminates the apparent discrepancy raised by reports of no correlation between initial water-stress effects on stomata and leaf ABA concentration. Six hours after stress relief, guard-cell ABA concentration was near the prestress valu...

Faba bean is a legume used as a food source by humans and animals. However, it presents antinutritional factors such as tannins and phytic acid, compounds that form complexes with proteins and minerals, respectively, decreasing faba bean’s digestive value. Faba bean was treated with tannase and phytase, the effect of this treatment was measured in a study with rats, a group received a diet with...

background: faba bean (vicia faba) is a rich source of protein and carbohydrates that is used as a vegetable ingredient in diet of livestock, poultry and fish, in many countries. objectives: this study was conducted to assess the effects of different levels of faba bean on the serum lipid levels and liver function of farmed beluga sturgeon (huso huso). methods: 144 juvenile beluga (82.38 ± 0.83...

Rhizobium strains from nodules of Vicia faba were diverse in plasmid content and serology. Results of multilocus gel electrophoresis and restriction fragment length polymorphism indicated several deep chromosomal lineages among the strains. Linkage disequilibrium among the chromosomal types was detected and may have reflected variation of Rhizobium strains in the different geographical location...

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), also known as fava beans, like other crops, are influenced by several factors: their genotype, environment, and management, well the interaction between these, have an important impact on seed yielding quality traits. This study was conducted at three locations in South Italy 2017 2019 to evaluate sowing date effect yield components of Vicia L., originating from cool...

to determine the effect of sowing dates (22 oct., 5 nov., 21 nov. and 5 dec.) on the green pod and dry seed yield of faba bean (vicia faba), field experiments were conducted using rcb design with four replications for three cropping seasons (1995-1998) at hashem abad research station in golestan province. result, of combined analysis of variance showed that 22 oct. and 21 nov. produced higher g...
