Flower/testa colour associations with grain yield, quality and tolerance to seed weevil in grass pea phenotypes
Ioannis T. Tsialtas,

Abstract:Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is considered an orphan/underutilized grain legume with high yield and nutritive potential. It is variable in flower and seed coat (testa) colour and this variation could possibly be used as a biomarker in phenotypic selection for yield and quality traits. Three phenotypes differing in flower/testa colour [white flower‐white to creamy testa and white hilum (TWHW), slightly blue banner and wing coloration‐white to creamy testa and coloured halo around hilum (TWHC) and blue banner… Show more
