“…example, AFLP analysis of 171 heirlooms from the Heritage Seed Library (HSL) of Garden Organic revealed 1.5 to 2-fold differences in heterozygosity within carrot, cucumber and Brassica accessions, as well as 3.6 to 9-fold differences within faba bean, pea, and lettuce accessions[31].Heirloom beans from southern Italy exhibited significant diversity in seed shape (cuboid, kidney, oval, round, truncate), seed coat pattern (absent, bicolor, pattern around hilum, speckled, spotted bicolor, stripped), seed color (black, brown, grey, vine, violet, white), seed weight (21-74 g 100 seed), and phaseolin (C, T, S)[76].
