“…Several workers including EDEN (1968), BOND & TOYNBEE-CLARKE (1968) and CLARKE (1970) have noted significant differences between the crude protein content of spring and winter types, the latter being on average 34 protein units lower than the average value of approximately 31 ~o crude protein found in spring varieties. The variation reported amongst commercial spring varieties is slightly greater than that of the winter varieties (BHATTY, 1974) but the protein content is far less than that in soya bean meal, which is utilized in large quantities by both the animal feed and protein extraction industries and has to be imported.…”

INDEX WORDSViciafaba, field bean, crude protein content, variation, improvement. SUMMARY A survey of the protein content of various field bean varieties indicates a range of variation extending over sixteen units of crude protein from 22-38~. Analysis of single plants from within three WPBS varieties Dylan, Danas and Dacre indicates that a similar range exists within commercial varieties. Examination of the progenies of high and low protein single plant selections together with a preliminary estimation of heritability suggest that protein content is highly heritable. No significant correlations were found between protein content and seed yield.

“…They worked on seed protein content and seed digestibility for monogastric animals Both investigated the genotypic and environmental factors involved in the variability of grain protein concentration and proposed parents for breeding for high values of this important trait (Bond and Toynbee-Clarke, 1968;Picard, 1976a). Picard (1976b) showed the association between the white-flower character and absence of tannin in the seed.…”

David Bond and Jean Picard, two leaders of European legume breeding, died within a few months of each other. On the basis of their agronomic and genetic training, they both met the challenge of breeding faba bean, a protein-rich species that had received little attention from breeders before the 1950s (Picard, 1953; Bond 1957). Both made great strides at modernizing their chosen crop by developing and applying new ideas and techniques, as well as generating new methods and genetic materials.

Received31 Oktober 1985 INDEX WORDSViciafaba, faba bean, crude protein content, direct selection, independent culling levels selection. SUMMARY Starting with two heterogeneous F2 populations, each based on 20 cross combinations, different types of selection were applied for four consecutive selection cycles. Three of the selection procedures involved crude protein content (CP) and are presented in this paper. They were selection for high CP (HP), selection for low CP (LP) and independent culling levels selection for high CP and an index for seed yield per plant (ICL). For ICL-selection the attention is focussed on CP in this paper.For all three selection procedures, predicted and realized responses were calculated and expressed as percentage of a corresponding random population. The selection intensities (i) differed over selection procedures and generations. Differences in i between HP and LP within generations were mostly of minor interest. The response to HP-selection was slightly higher than to ICL-selection, but this may be due to the higher selection intensity exerted with the former method.HP-and LP-selection showed some remarkable differences, which were interpreted as a tendency towards partial dominance of high over low protein content. The total response to HP-selection gradually increased, whereas LP-selection yielded the total response largely after only one cycle of selection. The predicted response showed a tendency towards overestimation in the case of HP-selection and to underestimation in the case of LP-selection.Selection for high protein yield through CP seems to be feasible, although improvement of yield stability may eventually be more necessary. As no consistent correlation, either positive or negative, between SYP and CP could be detected, selection for either of these characters may be considerd independently of selection for the other one.
