1987
Marcellos, H. (New South Wales Dept. of Agriculture, Tamworth (Australia). Agricultural Research Centre)
The fraction of the whole seed contained in the testa was measured on 30 inbred lines of faba bean developed from Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, North African, and Indian sources. There was an inverse relationship between testa fraction, which varied from 12.2 to 18.2% across genotypes, and 1000-seed weight which was 280-620 g. A group of Indian lines had high testa fractions, in excess of 16%
