Variety traits
Vicia faba L. var. major Harz
A growth habit of faba bean in which stem development ceases after the formation of a terminal inflorescence. This trait ensures uniform maturity and lodging resistance, which is critical for mechanical harvesting.
In the reference 10 varieties crop Broad bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
In determinate faba bean forms, the apical meristem terminates activity by forming a flower cluster at the top of the main stem, which limits plant height. Genetically, this trait is controlled by the action of specific genes, such as TFL1 homologs, which determine plant architecture.
With a determinate growth habit, vegetative and reproductive periods are clearly separated, which promotes the reallocation of assimilates to seed formation and filling after flowering. Phenotypically, the trait is determined as a qualitative characteristic through visual observation of the plant apex.
