BREEDING OF BROAD BEAN FOR SEED YIELD

Reproductive effort was estimated in 200 broad bean accessions. The number of pods varied from 2,3 to 13,8 %, and the number of seeds, from 6.4 to 32,6 %. Division of the whole collection into 5 clusters according to several indices of reproductive effort and seed efficiency revealed a group of acce...

Description
Summary:Reproductive effort was estimated in 200 broad bean accessions. The number of pods varied from 2,3 to 13,8 %, and the number of seeds, from 6.4 to 32,6 %. Division of the whole collection into 5 clusters according to several indices of reproductive effort and seed efficiency revealed a group of accessions with maximum values of these indices, which may be of interest for breeding for seed production. Accessions in which the maximum reproductive effort was mediated by the greatest seed production were found.
