“…The increase in yield was obtained mainly with breeding programs targeted at tolerance to abiotic (heat and drought) and biotic (foliar diseases and parasitic weeds) stresses. Moreover, recent breeding efforts are directed towards the development of new cultivars with low anti-nutritional compounds (vicine and convicine), to improve the quality and utilization efficiency of faba in human diet and for livestock feed [13]. Different molecular tools were used to investigate genetic diversity in grain legume species [14][15][16][17].…”

Cultivation of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in Tunisia is largely based on improved varieties of the crop. However, a few farmers continue to produce local cultivars or landraces. The National Gene Bank of Tunisia (NGBT) recently launched a collection project for faba bean landraces, with special focus on the regions of the North West, traditionally devoted to cultivating grain legumes, and where around 80% of the total national faba bean cultivation area is located. The seed phenotypic features of the collected samples were studied, and the genetic diversity and population structure analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. The genetic constitution of the present samples was compared to that of faba bean samples collected by teams of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in the 1970s in the same region, and stored at the ICARDA gene bank. The results of the diversity analysis demonstrate that the recently collected samples and those stored at ICARDA largely overlap, thus demonstrating that over the past 50 years, little genetic change has occurred to the local faba bean populations examined. These findings suggest that farmers serendipitously applied international best practices for in situ conservation of agricultural crops.

Vicine from faba bean is a causative agent of favism, a genetic disease, which manifests as hemolytic anemia. Despite that low vicine varieties of faba bean exist, they are not widely cultivated. Several extraction methods of vicine from faba beans have been presented in the literature, however, their low efficiency associated to timeconsuming and costly process limit the practical use. This work for the first time addresses the employment of high-pressure CO 2-assisted extraction of the pyrimidine glycosides from the faba bean. For this purpose, the effect of temperature, CO 2 pressure and time on vicine extraction was scrutinized using Box-Behnken design of experiments. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal extraction conditions. At 40.7°C, 8.1 bar of CO 2 pressure and 5.1 min of extraction, 81% of total vicine should be extracted from faba bean.
