to identify and discriminate ten faba bean genotypes using morphological characters and molecular marker. The results revealed that some morphological characters such as pinnul shape, lines density of flag flower, pod color at maturity, testa shape and color were useful to identify some genotypes from each other, while they were not enough for identifying other genotypes. By using Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR-PCR) technique, it was possible to determine the genetic diversity and relationships of the ten faba bean genotypes included in this study. A total of 71 amplified bands were generated with five ISSR primers, of which 59 (83.1%) were polymorphic which represent a relatively high polymorphism level. These results are important in protecting of plant breeders rights and at releasing these genotypes as a new varieties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
