Grain legumes are commonly used for food and feed all over the world main source of protein a billion people worldwide, but their production is at risk from climate change. Water deficit heat stress both significantly reduce yield grain legumes, faba bean considered particularly susceptible. The genetic improvement drought adaptation (water tolerance) by conventional methods molecular breeding time-consuming laborious, since it depends mainly on selection in multiple sites. lack...
Background Soil moisture deficiency causes yield reduction and instability in faba bean ( Vicia L.) production. The extent of sensitivity to drought stress varies across accessions originating from diverse regimes the world. Hence, we conducted successive greenhouse experiments pots rhizotrons explore diversity root responses soil water deficit. Methods A set 89 wet dry growing regions world was defined according Focused Identification Germplasm Strategy screened a perlite-sand medium under...
Faba bean is an important starch-based protein crop produced worldwide. Soil acidity and aluminium toxicity are major abiotic stresses affecting its production, so in regions where soil a problem, there gap between the potential actual productivity of crop. Hence, we set out to evaluate tolerance range faba germplasm using solution culture pot experiments.A 30 accessions was collected from or not problems. The were grown subset 10 first peat later perlite potting media. In culture,...
Water deficit may occur at any stage of plant growth, with intensity and duration. Phenotypic acclimation the mechanism adaptation vary evolutionary background germplasm accessions their growth. Faba bean is considered sensitive to various kinds drought. Hence, we conducted a greenhouse experiment in rhizotrons under contrasting watering regimes explore shoot root traits drought avoidance mechanisms young faba plants. Eight were investigated for morphological physiological responses two...
Abstract Soil acidity is a global issue; soils with pH <4.5 are widespread in Europe. This adversely affects nutrient availability to plants; levels <5.0 lead aluminum (Al 3+ ) toxicity, significant problem that hinders root growth and uptake faba bean ( Vicia L.) its symbiotic relationship Rhizobium . However, little known about the specific traits tolerant genotypes among European beans. study aimed identify response associated tolerance zone Al toxicity potentially for future...
