The development of genetic markers is complex and costly in species with little pre-existing genomic information. Faba bean possesses one the largest least studied genomes among cultivated crop plants no gene-based maps exist. Gene-based orthologous allow chromosomal regions levels synteny to be characterised between species, reveal phylogenetic relationships evolution, enable targeted identification for breeding. In this study codominant cross-species have been deployed produce first...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is among the earliest domesticated crops from Near East. Today this legume a key protein feed and food worldwide continues to serve an important role in culinary traditions throughout Middle East, Mediterranean region, China Ethiopia. Adapted wide range of soil types, main breeding objectives are improve yield, resistance biotic abiotic stresses, seed quality other agronomic traits. Genomic approaches aimed at enhancing programs require high-quality genetic linkage...

Abstract Little resistance against Mycosphaerella pinodes is available in pea. In this work 78 accessions of Pisum were screened for to M. pinodes. Fourteen showed a good level seedlings under controlled conditions, and mature plants the field. The highest levels found P. fuivum , followed by sativum ssp. eiatius syriacum. Resistance five selected was effective different isolates originating from countries. Resistant reported paper have been successfully hybridized with field pea cultivars.

Ascochyta blight, caused by fabae Speg.,is a disease of faba bean (Vicia L.) world-wide distribution. Although sources resistance have been identified, little is known about its genetic basis and gene location. Molecular analyses were carried out using plant tissue from 196 individual F2 plants derived cross between susceptible resistant lines. F2-derived F3 lines inoculated under controlled growth-chamber conditions evaluated for severity infection type index. The linkage map was...

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) have a great potential as protein-rich fodder crop, but anti-nutritional factors such condensed tannins reduce the biological value of their protein. Tannins can be removed from seeds by any two complementary genes, zt-1 and zt-2, which also determine white-flowered plants. The less common gene, is associated with increased protein levels energy values reduced fibre content seeds. To identify cost-effective marker linked to we analysed segregating F2 population...

Ascochyta blight, caused by fabae Speg., is a disease of faba bean (Vicia L.) worldwide distribution. In this study we have conducted an experiment on resistance in 165 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed single-seed descent from the cross between resistant and susceptible (Vf6 × Vf136) which A. QTLs (quantitative trait loci) been previously reported original F2 population. Recombinant were inoculated under controlled growth chamber conditions evaluated for severity infection type...

Abstract BACKGROUND: The development of water‐soluble nanodevices extends the potential use compounds developed for other purposes (e.g. antifungal drugs or antibiotics) applications in agriculture. For example, broad‐spectrum, water‐insoluble, macrolide polyene antibiotic amphotericin B (AMB) could be used to inhibit phytopathogenic fungi. A new formulation embedding AMB nanodisks (NDs) enhances solubility and confers protection against environmental damage. In present study, AMB‐NDs were...

Ascochyta blight is an important disease of faba bean (Vicia L.). Yield losses can be as high 90% and 35–40% are common. The line 29H one the most resistant accessions to pathogen (Ascochyta fabae Speg.) ever described. In this work, we aimed validate across generations main quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for ascochyta resistance identified in cross × Vf136 test their stability under field conditions. QTLs located on chromosomes II III have been consistently recombinant inbred (RIL)...

Hexaploid tritordeums are the amphiploids derived from cross between wild barley Hordeum chilense and durum wheat. Tritordeums characterised by higher yellow pigment content in their seeds than wheat progenitors due to certain H. genes located on α arm of chromosome 7Hch. In this work a candidate gene approach based phytoene synthase (PSY) was followed investigate whether PSY1 may be responsible for high carotenoid tritordeum develop diagnostic marker PSY. This codes first step biosynthetic...

Abstract Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) is an important protein-rich fodder crop, which widely cultivated in temperate areas. However, antinutritional compounds such as condensed tannins, limit the use of this protein source monogastric feed formulations. Previous studies demonstrated that two recessive and complementary genes, zt1 zt2 , control absence tannin white flower colour bean. An ortholog Medicago WD40 transcription factor TTG1 was reported to encode phenotype, but responsible gene for...
