Agronomical factors influencing the legumin/vicilin ratio in pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds.

Background: Many research studies have investigated the impact of agronomical factors on the protein content of pea (Pisum sativum). This study aimed to establish if a correlation exists between protein content and legumin/vicilin (L/V) ratio in pea seeds and to identify agronomical factors that have an impact on this ratio.

Results: The L/V ratio was positively correlated with protein content (r = 0.
