Abstract

There were significant differences among 49 cultivars of faba beans (Vicia faba L.) for percent seed crude fibre, seed coat thickness, 1,000-seed weight and seed protein content; 1,000-seed weight was negatively correlated with seed crude fibre (r = −0.52) and positively correlated with seed coat thickness (r = 0.66). Step-wise multiple regression analysis showed that seed coat thickness could provide a partial prediction of seed crude fibre.
