Experiments were conducted over 2 years to quantify the response of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) to heat stress. Potted winter faba bean plants (cv. Wizard) were exposed to temperature treatments (18/10; 22/14; 26/18; 30/22; 34/26 °C day/night) for 5 days during floral development and anthesis. Developmental stages of all flowers were scored prior to stress, plants were grown in exclusion from ins...

Ten Rhizobial isolates were isolated from root nodules of Faba bean plants (Viciae faba L.) grown in different soil types and representing different geographic locations in Egypt. The isolates were characterized biochemically for their production of eachIAA and catalase. The tested isolates differed in their IAA production. The maximum production of IAA production was recorded for RLZ isolate o...

A lower price on poultry meat, compared with other meats (beef, pork etc.), affects the increasing demand for poultry meat. The productivity and production cost of broiler chickens are directly related to the amount of feed fed, the proportion of crude protein in the feed, and the biological value and price of the feed. The EU produces only 30% of the protein crops used for feed; thus, the larg...

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...

Three faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cross populations, i.e. Giza 40/Giza 3 (Cross No.1), Slaim/Giza 3 (Cross No.2) and Slaim/311/1170/81 (Cross No.3), were made for selection by three methods, i.e. Mass selection (MSM), pedigree selection (PSM) and Picking-pod (PPM) from F to F generation during 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2 4 2007/2008 seasons at Mattana Agricultural Research Station, ARC, Isna, Qena...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L) is one of the important grain crops worldwide and its genome, the largest among grain legumes (approx. 13.4 Gb), has yet to be sequenced. Comprehensive knowledge of genes expressed in the crop's large seeds would not only help drive new genetic improvements in the crop but also aid its future genome characterization. Here, we applied high throughput RNASeq (Quantificati...

eight faba bean genotypes and one local (barkat) as control were evaluated for three successive years (2000-2003) in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications at gorgan agricultural research station. this study was carried out to determine the morphological traits, yield components and yield stability to select the best genotypes. simple and combined analysis of variance ...

DL-beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is an effective inducer of resistance against a variety of plant pathogens. However, examples of BABA-induced resistance against insect herbivores have not been reported. We applied BABA as a soil drench to legumes and monitored its effects on the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). On tic bean (Vicia faba var. minor), BABA i...
