It holds great importance for human consumption and livestock feed because of its high protein content, dietary fibre, and nutritional value. Major faba bean breeding challenges include its mixed breeding system, unknown wild progenitor, and genome size of ~13 Gb, which is the largest among diploid field crops. The key breeding objectives in faba bean in... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - breeding; gene discovery; genomic resources; mapping population; Vicia faba; 11831 Plant biology N1 - PP - ER -
