Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss biodiversity1. However, production is hampered by lack a cool-season legume equivalent to soybean agronomic value2. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has high yield potential well suited for cultivation temperate regions, but genomic resources are scarce. Here, we report high-quality chromosome-scale assembly genome show that it expanded massive 13 Gb...
Efficient methods to explore plant agro-biodiversity for climate change adaptive traits are urgently required. The focused identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) is one such approach. FIGS works on the premise that likely reflect selection pressures environment in which it developed. Environmental parameters describing collection sites used as criteria improve probability uncovering useful variation. This study was designed test effectiveness search a large faba bean (Vicia L.) related...
Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) seeds are an excellent source of plant-based protein. In spite the vast nutritional and environmental benefits provided by cultivation, its use as a food crop has been restricted, primarily due to presence pyrimidine glycosides vicine convicine (v-c). Ingestion v-c can cause favism in individuals with genetically inherited deficiency glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). monogastric animals, decreased feeding efficiency. The elimination these glucosides is goal...
Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure germplasm collections plays a critical role in supporting conservation crop enhancement strategies. We used cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) collection consisting 352 accessions originating from 54 diverse countries to estimate using 1194 polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers which span the genome. Using principal coordinate analysis, analysis UPGMA cluster were categorized into three major groups that...
Summary Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) is a globally important nitrogen‐fixing legume, which widely grown in diverse range of environments. In this work, we mine and validate set 845 SNP s from the aligned transcriptomes two contrasting inbred lines. Each V. assigned by BLAST analysis to single Medicago orthologue. This syntenically anchored polymorphisms were then validated as individual KASP assays, classified according their informativeness performance on panel 37 lines, best performing 757...
Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.) seeds are relatively rich in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), making lentil a potential crop to aid the global battle against human micronutrient deficiency. Understanding genetic basis for uptake of seed Fe Zn is required increase sustainable concentrations these minerals seeds. The objectives this study were characterize variation concentration identify molecular markers associated with traits across diverse accessions. A set 138 cultivated accessions from 34...
Two-thirds of the world’s population are at risk deficiency in one or more essential mineral elements. The high concentrations elements pulse seeds fundamentally important to human and animal nutrition. In this study, 25 genotypes faba bean (12 low-tannin 13 normal-tannin genotypes) were evaluated for nutrients protein content three locations Western Canada during 2016–2017. Seed examined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was determined Near-Infrared (NIR)...
Abstract Key message We identified marker-trait associations for key faba bean agronomic traits and genomic signatures of selection within a global germplasm collection. Faba ( Vicia L.) is high-protein grain legume crop with great potential sustainable protein production. However, little known about the genetics underlying trait diversity. In this study, we used 21,345 high-quality SNP markers to genetically characterize 2678 genotypes. performed genome-wide association studies using...
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...
Safflower seeds have a high content of oil good nutritional value. In cereal-based rotations, it can help diversify cropping systems, break disease cycles and control grass weeds. Three winter safflower cultivars (Goldasht, Padideh K.w.2) were evaluated during two years under five different water regimes in Karaj, Iran. The consisted (full irrigated) treatment four treatments where irrigation was interrupted at bud formation, beginning flowering, end seed filling. Measurements involved yield...
The dimensions of lentil ( Medik.) seeds are important quality parameters that major determinants market preference, cooking time, and post-harvest milling quality. Knowledge the genetic control traits related to seed would be useful for crop improvement. principal aim this study was identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers linked genes diameter, thickness, plumpness. Association mapping analysis with SNP used 138 diverse cultivated accessions grown at two locations in...
Abstract The aim of this study was to reduce the length breeding cycle for faba bean by accelerating seed setting. We examined mode and time exogenous 6‐benzylaminopurine (BAP) (cytokinin) application, cold treatments their combinations in two genotypes. Acropetal node number pod set pollen viability were recorded during experiments. Application BAP improved germination. application 10 –5 M 4 days after flowering increased at lower nodes. Cold treatment (8/4°C day/night 2 days) onset induced...
Abstract Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) was considered a minor crop in the Canadian prairies until recently, but its potential for cultivation is increasing due to positive environmental impact and economic value. This review provides historical summary of improvement western Canada. Although traditional breeding methods have proved useful, last decade, has benefited from advances genetics, biochemistry molecular tools. The overall goal develop high yielding germplasm with improved agronomic...
