“…In Turkey, 64 species, 22 subspecies, and 18 varieties of this genus have been recorded (Han et al, 2021b;Kaplan et al, 2021a, Kaplan et al, 2021b. The highest specific diversity of Vicia is found in Turkey and northwest Asia (Martin et al, 2018). The Vicia species, which are agriculturally and economically important, protein-rich, and valuable genetic resources, are used as highquality green manure, medicine, food, cover, fodder, and ornamental and honey plants to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases and increase soil fertility (Han et al, 2021b;Wu et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2020;Jo et al, 2022;Sun et al, 2022).…”
