“…Crosstalk in stress signalling and gene expression has been reviewed in drought and cold stress responses [63] and in cold and salinity responses [57]. In the faba bean, little genetic connection between the drought response and freezing tolerance was observed [64].…”

Grain legumes are commonly used for food and feed all over the world and are the main source of protein for over a billion people worldwide, but their production is at risk from climate change. Water deficit and heat stress both significantly reduce the yield of grain legumes, and the faba bean is considered particularly susceptible. The genetic improvement of faba bean for drought adaptation (water deficit tolerance) by conventional methods and molecular breeding is time-consuming and laborious, since it depends mainly on selection and adaptation in multiple sites. The lack of high-throughput screening methodology and low heritability of advantageous traits under environmental stress challenge breeding progress. Alternatively, selection based on secondary characters in a controlled environment followed by field trials is successful in some crops, including faba beans. In general, measured features related to drought adaptation are shoot and root morphology, stomatal characteristics, osmotic adjustment and the efficiency of water use. Here, we focus on the current knowledge of biochemical and physiological markers for legume improvement that can be incorporated into faba bean breeding programs for drought adaptation.

“…A significant progress in breeding for frost resistance and winter hardiness was made in northern Europe (Link, Balko, & Stoddard, ; Arbaoui et al., ). Several cultivars and improved lines were identified to be tolerant to winter hardiness in Germany, Bulgaria, and other areas with a similar winter climate (Ali et al., ; Landry, Lafferty, Coyne, Pan, & Hu, ).…”

Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high-yield potential and nutrition-dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling of the global yield average. This study reviews the genetic diversity, the breeding methodologies, major achievement on biotic and abiotic traits, and the recent molecular approaches. The high genetic diversity among faba bean accessions has been useful for increasing yield potential of the crop. Substantial increase in yield potential can be gained through the development of cultivars in open pollinated conditions. In the past, many faba bean varieties that are tolerant to abiotic and biotic stresses were released worldwide. The average yield gains varied from 1.65% per year in Syria to 4.17% per year in Ethiopia. The recent advances in molecular technologies will be used to develop more coherent genetic maps, which would also facilitate assembling and ordering genomic scaffolds in a future genome-sequencing effort and molecular-breeding approach.

“…Continuing with this quantitative aspect, Ali et al (2016) used NIRS to develop a calibrated model to determine the levels of glycine betaine in faba bean leaflets. Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with electron spray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) was used as a reference validation method.…”

With growing consumer interest and demand for health‐benefiting functional foods such as faba beans, particularly evident in developed countries, commercial production of this crop is increasing. In concert with increased production levels comes an equally great need for the inexpensive rapid measurement of nutritional parameters for quality determining purposes. As an analytical tool, near‐infrared spectroscopy has been well explored for the quantification of proximate nutritional composition, such as protein, starch and oil contents in faba bean and faba bean‐derived products. Near‐infrared spectroscopy has also been demonstrated to have potential for the noninvasive prediction of low‐level micronutrients such as the total polyphenol content in faba bean and faba bean‐derived products, although further exploration in this area is required to provide a more acceptable model. In some instances, the authors may be inadvertently measuring micronutrient concentrations through a secondary correlation with certain macronutrients. It is particularly difficult to determine if this is the case if exacerbated by the lack of an independent validation test set in the paper in question. The associated technique of mid‐infrared spectroscopy shows particular promise for the rapid, noninvasive characterisation of structural components of faba bean, such as carbohydrates and proteins. Complementary applications of these two technologies are likely to yield a wealth of potential applications.
