“…Seed weight was the trait that showed the greatest estimate of heritability (h 2 , 91.4%) in the present study. This was expected, as the literature is full of studies that have reported such observations for common bean [54][55][56]. This outcome is also consistent with what has been shown for other legume crops, such as chickpea [57,58], lentil [59], faba bean [60], soybean [61] and pea [62].…”

Food legumes are at the crossroads of many societal challenges that involve agriculture, such as climate change and food sustainability and security. In this context, pulses have a crucial role in the development of plant-based diets, as they represent a very good source of nutritional components and improve soil fertility, such as by nitrogen fixation through symbiosis with rhizobia. The main contribution to promotion of food legumes in agroecosystems will come from plant breeding, which is guaranteed by the availability of well-characterized genetic resources. Here, we analyze seeds of 25 American and European common bean purified accessions (i.e., lines of single seed descent) for different morphological and compositional quality traits. Significant differences among the accessions and superior genotypes for important nutritional traits are identified, with some lines showing extreme values for more than one trait. Heritability estimates indicate the importance of considering the effects of environmental growth conditions on seed compositional traits. They suggest the need for more phenotypic characterization in different environments over different years to better characterize combined effects of environment and genotype on nutritional trait variations. Finally, adaptation following the introduction and spread of common bean in Europe seems to have affected its nutritional profile. This finding further suggests the relevance of evolutionary studies to guide breeders in the choice of plant genetic resources.

“…The phenotypic coefficient of variation was of a high significance than the genotypic coefficient of variation for all the traits suggesting the environmental effect in the expression of those parameters. A similar result was reported on evaluation of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and correlation for agronomic and yield components in common bean landraces from South western Kenya by Anunda [49] and assessment genotypes of groundnut for pod yield and its component traits for pod yield and its component traits by Kavitha, [50]. and eminence apparatuses under organic and conservative fertilizer managements in organic and conformist nourishment managements in groundnut by Bhargavi, [51].…”

Though many studies on gene action of yield and yield related traits have been conducted on bambara groundnut, none of these focused on seed size and weight. Hence, this study was conducted to established inheritance pattern based on seed weight. Five bambara groundnut genotypes from Nigeria, namely Giwa, Duna, Cancaraki, Jatau, and Maiki were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replication. The seeds of each genotype were grouped into three seed weight categories namely large, medium and small-seed size. Data were collected on 12 agromorphological traits and statistical analysis was conducted using SAS version 9.4 and variance component and heritability were estimated for each character. The present study revealed significant levels of variability among the five genotypes, fifteen combinations of seed size and genotypes, seed size categories and interaction of genotypes and seed size categories for most of the yield and yield components. High values of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) coupled with genetic advance (GA) were reported for the number of medium seed per plant, total large seed weight per plant, total medium seed weight per plant and hundred seeds weight, while moderate GCV was

This study compares the field performance of three types of seedlings propagules (cuttings, grafting and seed) when combined with 75 g NPK (20:10:10) tree -1 , 37.5 g NPK + (10 and 20 Kg Farmyard manure) tree -1 . Two split plot experiments laid out in a Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD) with three replications were established at Lyamungu-Kilimanjaro region and Burka-Arusha region based on the existing climatic gradient. Such data as, soil organic carbon, soil texture, growth characteristics and coffee yield were collected in the period from 2019 to 2022. Cuttings-propagated plants outperformed seed and grafted-counterparts in all aspects (p < 0.05). This could be due to the greater physiological maturity of cutting propagated plants, causing earlier production capability. Cuttings propagated plants had the highest yield 2800 and 3600 Kg ha -1 green coffee at Burka and Lyamungu sites, respectively. The grafted propagated plants had the lowest green coffee yield of 800 and 1700 Kg ha -1 at Burka and Lyamungu sites, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that cuttings propagated plants under the age of 4 years with the same rooting age as seed and grafted plants perform better in the field than seeds and grafted plants.
