“…A meta-analysis of legume yield responses to drought under field conditions from 1980 to 2014 revealed a yield reduction of 40% following a 65% reduction in water availability, with cultivar and environmental factors being important cofactors (Daryanto et al, 2015). The study confirmed, that legumes have a high yield potential, but respond in a sensitive way to water shortage (Müller et al, 1985;Grashoff, 1990;Khan et al, 2010;Torres et al, 2010;Redden et al, 2014;Muktadir et al, 2020). Faba bean is more sensitive to drought than other field crops and largely exceeds other grain legumes such as common bean, pea and chickpea (McDonald and Paulsen, 1997;Amede and Schubert, 2003;Manning et al, 2020).…”

Faba bean is an important protein crop for food and feed worldwide and provides a range of advantages in crop rotations. Its limited use in modern agriculture is mainly due to the high fluctuations in yield. A well known limiting factor in most legumes, and particularly in faba bean, is the high sensitivity to water shortage, which is further aggravated by climate change. The present study was undertaken to exploit the genetic variation in drought stress response in a faba bean collection of 100 accessions with diverse origins and to assess selection criteria for identifying drought tolerant genotypes. Physiological, phenological and yield related traits evaluated under drought or water-sufficient conditions responded significantly to the end-terminated drought stress. Comparison of yield relations showed the advantage of using a stress tolerance index (STI) to identify genotypes combining high yield potential with high stress yield. With regard to physiological traits, SPAD (chlorophyll content) values were significantly related to yield as well as to STI, while the other traits also contributed to different extents to variation in yield formation. Among the yield related traits, seeds per plant proved to be the most important trait followed by pods per plant. Interestingly, the eight genotypes with the best STI performance use different strategies to cope with drought stress.

“…It has high yield potential, but environmental factors resulting in unstable yield highly affect its growth. Frost is one of the significant abiotic stresses threatening faba bean production [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Economic loss due to frost in Australia is estimated at $120–700 million each year [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Frost is one factor that causes extensive yield losses globally. A study was conducted to evaluate frost damage under field conditions and assess the genetic variation of flowers converting into pods. Diverse faba bean genotypes were evaluated under four growing seasons in a randomized complete block design: three at the University of Sydney, Narrabri, Australia (2014–2016) with three sowing dates, and one at the Agricultural Research Station, Dirab, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (2016/2017) in one sowing. Visual methods were used to estimate frost damage and record the development of pods. Radiation frost in 2014 (Narrabri) damaged lower pods, while advection frost in 2016/2017 (Dirab) damaged upper pods. The radiation frost formed immediately above the ground; therefore, flowers and pods of taller plants minimized the damage because of their long distance from the ground. The earliest (mid-April) and middle sowing (May 7) suffered more by frost, while a delay in sowing (last week in May) led to frost escape or minor damage. The genotypes IX474/4-3 and 11NF010a-2 showed low sensitivity to frost at the vegetative and reproductive stages. Flowers developed at the beginning of flowering had a faster and higher pod formation rate (41–43%) than those formed later and contributed more to yields. Therefore, a severe frost at the beginning of flowering can cause a significant yield loss as these flowers are the most productive. The frost-tolerant genotypes, and faster and higher pod forming rates, identified in this study can be exploited to breed better varieties in the future.
