| Grain legumes, such as faba bean (Vicia faba L.), are important sources of protein, particularly for people in developing countries where climate change is expected to result in higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. Among grain legumes, faba bean is thought to be relatively sensitive to drought. Faba beans are important legumes in the crop rotations of organic farming. Deeper roots and larger root biomass have been shown to be important contributors to crop performance under drought conditions. Thus root traits could be used as the selection criteria for drought adaptation. During 2010–2011, two sets of faba bean accessions, from ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ regions, each containing 201 accessions, were chosen using the Focused Identification of... |
