Faba beans (Vicia faba L.), also known as fava beans, like other crops, are influenced by several factors: their genotype, environment, and management, well the interaction between these, have an important impact on seed yielding quality traits. This study was conducted at three locations in South Italy 2017 2019 to evaluate sowing date effect yield components of Vicia L., originating from cool...

in order to study the effect of planting date, row spacing and seed rate on grain yield and protein yield of faba bean (vicia faba l.), a split factorial experiment based on the complete randomized block design with three replications was conducted at research station of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2008-2010 for two years. experimental treatments were planting date in three l...

New discoveries of legumes in the lower Galilee at the prehistoric site of Ahihud in Israel shed light on early farming systems in the southern Levant. Radiocarbon dating of twelve legumes from pits and floors indicate that the farming of legumes was practiced in southern Levant as early as 10.240-10.200 (1σ) ago. The legumes were collected from pits and other domestic contexts dated to the Ear...

The understanding of crop domestication is dependent on tracking the original geographical distribution of wild relatives. The faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is economically important in many countries around the world; nevertheless, its origin has been debated because its ancestor could not be securely identified. Recent investigations in the site of el-Wad (Mount Carmel, Israel), provide the first...

Seed-cotyledons of Vicia faba L. an unconventional legume from Bangladesh were analyzed for chemical composition and protein functionality to assess its potential usage as an alternative source of protein. Proximate component in per cent were crude protein 30.57, crude fat 3.22, crude fibre 2.73, ash 3.61 and carbohydrate 59.87. With the exception of methionine plus cystine, the essential amino...

Faba bean plants (Vicia faba) showed remarkable resistant to wilt disease caused by Fusarium solani pv. Phaseoli when watered with a mixture of heavy metal at a concentration 10mg/L. However the use of Zn, Pb alone slightly increases the susceptibility of bean plants to Fusarium wilt. Plants exposed to Cd or Cu treatment accelerate the symptoms appearance in infected plant. The toxicity of a si...

A new indole-3-acetic acid metabolite was isolated from broad bean (Vicia faba L. cv Chukyo) seedlings. It was a conjugate of dioxindole-3-acetic acid, aspartic acid, and glucose and was identified as 3-(O-beta-glucosyl)-2-indolone-3-acetylaspartic acid (molecular weight 484) from ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra. Its natural content in 4-day-old Vicia seedlin...
