Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Heritability of drought tolerance in faba bean was 0.51 < h2 < 0.88.
- Association Exotic (North African, Latin American) faba bean genotypes were more tolerant to drought than adapted material.
- Observation Highly significant variance between faba bean genotypes occurred.
- Observation Yw and Yd were correlated across faba bean genotypes (0.77 < r < 0.97).
- Association Variance of Yd was less than one-third of the variance of Yw.
- Observation Drought tolerance was negatively correlated with Yd (-0.41 < r < -0.22).
- Observation Relative reduction of plant height due to drought is a promising indirect trait to improve drought tolerance in two sets.
- Observation Heritability was 0.68 < h2 < 0.86 for the improvement of Yd.
- Observation The prospects of improving Yd in faba bean are good.
- Recommendation A specific cross is proposed to create improved faba bean material.
