The objective of this study was to determine the dispersal of own pollen and acceptance of foreign pollen in some faba bean (Vicia faba L.) lines using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. It was carried out on four lines at Goettingen, Germany, in 2001 season. The lines introgressive cross-fertilization (acceptance of foreign pollen) ranged from 18.9% to 46.9% with a mean of 31.2%. The mean dispersive cross-fertilization (i.e., contribution to introgressive cross-fertilization of the others) varied from 7.4% to 13.0%; indicating that there may be genetic differences as to these features. The importance of studying both pollen dispersal and pollen input in faba bean breeding programmes is discussed
