Principal component analysis was performed on seven quantitative characters of 50 faba bean lines to evaluate the tested lines. Of these, 18 lines were selected as parents for future hybridization. The distances were calculated among all possible pairs of lines, to classify the 50 lines into 2 populations, 3 types and 9 groups. The classification showed that there was some connection between geographical distribution and divergence, but the most of the lines within the same cluster were close in Mahalanobis (D2) distance but varied in geographic sites
