Abstract

Vicia faba L. is the most vital legumes and widely cultivated in all the world. Cultivation of tolerant genetic variants is the correct way to avoid the influences of drought on crops. Allocated space adequacy of genetic difference in commercial bean cultivars. Molecular markers are benfial tools for choice among sorts. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic and morphological variations to for further application in plant breeding research. In this study, five simple sequence repeats (SSR) primers were used to explain genetic and morphological diversity from 18 Egyptian faba beans cultivars were collected from different places in Egypt; 14 lines from different population in addition Giza 2, Giza 3 and 716 Giza and T.W from Sudan. The results of this study, SSR markers are effective in estimating the germplasm of Egyptian beans. SSR markers results ranged from 15bp to 202bp with average of allele number 9.2 allele/markers. In addition, the morphological variation showed that obvious differences between the 18 genotypes in the 2018 and 2019 seasons also. Data results from SSR and quantitative traits showed that the best nine genotypes were in vegetative traits and tolerating conditions in Egypt Giza 2, L.168, L.171, L.175, L.180 B, L.180 C, L.219, L.223 then T.W compared with the all genotypes and the cultivated varieties.
