Economically, legumes (Fabaceae) represent the second most important family of crop
plants after the grass family, Poaceae. Grain legumes account for 27% of world crop …

Key message We have identified QTLs for stomatal characteristics on chromosome II of faba
bean by applying SNPs derived from M. truncatula, and have identified candidate genes …

In parts of Central Europe, such as Germany, climate change will lead to increasing area
utilization for winter types of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) with improved tolerance to drought …

The potential for use of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is increasing worldwide due to its positive
environmental impact and nutritional interest, but there are many challenges for faba bean …

The genetics of the stipule spot pigmentation (SSP) in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was studied
using four inbred lines, of which Disco/2 was zero-tannin (zt2) with colourless stipule spots …

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the most important grain legumes crops, partly due to its
relatively high protein content. In developing countries, faba bean is mainly used as human …

Limiting maximum transpiration rate (TR) under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is
considered a water conservation strategy, with genotypes expressing this trait considered …

Genetic linkage maps are deployed to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL) of traits of interest
and speed up breeding programs. In this study, we used two Vicia faba L. backcross families …
