“…Recently, "Fava Miúda" (2288) and "Favel" (5356) were evaluated for ten morphological characters to estimate the phenotypic diversity, and it was concluded that the 100 seed weight and the plant height were the eigenvectors with the highest positive loading [17]. Thus, our results are in accordance with those of [6] who concluded that 100 seed weight is an important character to discriminate faba bean botanical groups. Moreover, the present analysis of V. faba Portuguese landraces agrees with studies on populations of V. faba major type from three Mediterranean countries [57], which were individualized according with each country's agroclimatic conditions.…”

Faba bean have been grown in Portugal for a long time and locally adapted populations are still maintained on farm. The genetic diversity of four Portuguese faba bean populations that are still cultivated in some regions of the country was evaluated using the Inter Retrotransposons Amplified Polymorphism (IRAP) technique. It was shown that molecular markers based on retrotransposons previously identified in other species can be efficiently used in the genetic variability assessment of Vicia faba. The IRAP experiment targeting Athila yielded the most informative banding patterns. Cluster analysis using the neighbor-joining algorithm generated a dendrogram that clearly shows the distribution pattern of V. faba samples. The four equina accessions are separated from each other and form two distinct clades while the two major faba bean accessions are not unequivocally separated by the IRAP. Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) analysis of sequences amplified by IRAP Athila revealed a wide distribution throughout V. faba chromosomes, confirming the whole-genome coverage of this molecular marker. Morphological characteristics were also assessed through cluster analysis of seed characters using the unweighted pair group method arithmetic average (UPGMA) and principal component analysis (PCA), showing a clear discrimination between faba bean major and equina groups. It was also found that the seed character most relevant to distinguish accessions was 100 seed weight. Seed morphological traits and IRAP evaluation give similar results supporting the potential of IRAP analysis for genetic diversity studies.

“…Despite some classifications regarding it as Faba vulgaris Moench., faba bean is considered by a vast majority a separate species within the genus Vicia L. (Suso et al 1993), with a number of chromosomes of 2n = 12 (Ouji et al 2011b). An analysis with ISSR markers with a large number of the local landraces of faba bean showed a great influence of their geographic origin and ecological factors, grouping those from Europe and North Africa on one side and those from Asia in another (Wang et al 2012).…”

Summary:The genetic resources of legumes (Fabaceae Lindl.) are facing the narrowing the genetic basis of cultivated species, that is bottlenecks of the available gene pools. This is caused mostly by breeding, since it aims at improving yield and quality. The most widely cultivated crops are in a specific danger of losing numerous desirable traits due to a heavy selection pressure preferring usually yield. Using locally cultivated and maintained landraces of the economically most important annual legumes, such as chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), white lupin (Lupinus albus) and faba bean (Vicia faba) may assist breeding and various modern crop systems. They preserved numerous desirable traits that may be easily introgressed into modern cultivars and thus improve their performance.
