Variety traits
Vicia faba L. var. equina St.-Amans
A plant growth habit in which the apical meristem terminates in an inflorescence, ceasing vegetative stem development. This trait ensures uniform pod ripening and is adapted to regions with short growing seasons.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Horse bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
Determinacy in faba bean is defined by the cessation of growth in the shoot apex, in contrast to the standard indeterminate type, which retains meristematic vegetative activity for an extended period. This trait is controlled by a mutation in the TERMINAL FLOWER1 gene, known as the ti locus, which allows for the use of molecular dCAPS markers for early-stage selection and culling.
The agronomic value of determinate cultivars lies in ensuring uniform maturity, which is a critical condition for efficient mechanized harvesting. Despite the technological advantages, the implementation of this trait requires a balance, as limiting stem growth affects overall biomass accumulation and may reduce the plant's yield potential under certain environmental conditions.
