Sixdenier, G. | Due, G. (Station de Genetique et Amelioration des Plantes, Dijon Cedex (France))
19 spring faba bean genotypes of diverse origin were grown at two different locations in France to investigate the genotype (G), location (L) and G x L effects of the content of vicine (V), convicine (C), and V + C and V/C ratio. Significant genotype and location effects were observed for V and V + C content and V/C ratio, whereas G x L interaction was significant only for C and V/C ratio. Genotypic effect was larger than the location effect suggesting that improvement in these characters could be effected through breeding
