Morphometrical signs of vicia faba l. for breading

Most vegetable bean varieties have signs of xeromorphism, which testifies in favor of their high biological resistance to drought, for example Aquadul, Belarusian, White Large-Fruited, Bobchinsky, Velena, Children’s Delight, Dachnik, Optics, Russian Black, Royal Harvest). For breeding, samples with amphestomatic vertically arranged leaves (varieties Windsor and Gourmet Dish) may be of interest. The most productive in the soil and climatic conditions of the Belgorod region (Russia) were the selections Belgorod-1 and Belgorod-2, as well as the varieties Royal Harvest, Bobchinsky, Batrom and Leade

Analysis of the ultrastructure of pollen grains and seeds to identify plant materials

We studied the ultrasculpture of pollen grains and the surface, the macro- and microstructure of the seeds of broad beans (Faba bean L.), peas (Pisum sativum L.) and common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). It was revealed that pollen grains are single, medium in size, radially symmetric, threeaperture, but the exine surface sculpture and ornamentation of the pollen grain surface are of decisive importance. The main role in determining pollen grains is played by shape and ornamentation. It was also determined that the seeds of beans differ in the maximum sperm thickness, and the thickness of the sclerotest makes the main contribution to the formation of this trai
