Article Synopsis
- Orobanche is a serious parasite affecting faba beans in the Mediterranean, causing significant yield losses, making the development of tolerant genotypes essential for food security amid rising global populations.
- A study involving seven faba bean lines and four testers revealed considerable variation and diversity among genotypes under both Orobanche-free and infested conditions, with certain lines (Line1, Line2, Line3, Line5) showing the best performance against the parasite.
- Specific cross combinations demonstrated promising results in terms of seed yield and traits related to Orobanche resistance, with certain crosses also effectively reducing the parasite's dry weight, validated by GGE biplot analysis.
Faba bean is considered one of the most prominent grain legumes, with high protein content for human food consumption and livestock feed. The present study evaluated the nature of gene action and determined the genetic diversity among different populations of three crosses for resistance to foliar diseases at the molecular level. Analysis of variance exposed significant differences among the generations for all measured traits.
