Abstract

Faba beans are partially allogamous with both self- and cross-fertilisation enhanced by various bee species. For breeding, this population structure enables population breeding methods or alternatively the development of inbred ‘pure’ lines in bee-proof enclosures and selection among lines. Heterosis occurs, notably in crosses between seed-type groups. Important diseases are Aschochyta blight, chocolate spot, rust, Cercospora leaf spot, downey mildew, and a range of root rot and viral diseases. Forms of host plant resistance include both major and quantitative gene resistances for Aschochyta and for chocolate spot, race-specific major genes for rust and a range of resistance expressions to various viruses. Resistance to broomrape is rare, incomplete, quantitative and of low heritability. Faba bean is very sensitive to abiotic stresses in the reproductive phase. Genetic variation in stomatal conductance and other component traits may provide drought tolerance, heat tolerance is being investigated, and there is a genetic variation for winter hardiness and for waterlogging tolerance. Genetic control of abiotic stress responses is being investigated with biotechnology tools, though previously few SSR markers were available. The application of next-generation sequencing has identified many high-quality novel SSR markers which will improve the development of linkage maps, but at present linkage maps have not been resolved to six linkage groups that represent each chromosome. Markers will be useful for identification of marker-locus-trait associations.
