Genetic Variability of Tunisian Faba Beans (Vicia faba L.) Based on Seeds’ Morphophysical Properties as Assessed by Statistical Analysis

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a legume crop cultivated for its nutritious seeds that are an important worldwide source of human food and feed. Seeds characterization is a prerequisite step for faba bean quality improvement. The morphophysical characterization of the seeds of twenty-four local faba be...
