Floral Nectaries

The floral nectary of Vicia faba L. (faba bean, broad bean, or field bean) consists of a disk which bears a long, basal, tapered projection. Large, open stomata, located at the tip of the projection, probably serve as exits for nectar. Phloem is present in the floral nectary. The extrafloral nectary consists of numerous secretory and nonsecretory trichomes aggregated on the abaxial surface of each stipule. Both xylem and phloem are present in the stipule beneath the extrafloral nectary. In both nectary types, large companion cells accompany the phloem. Epidermal and parenchyma cells of the floral gland, as well as the companion cells, develop wall ingrowths and are therefore transfer cells. Ultrastructural evidence suggests a granulocrine mechanism of nectar secretion in the floral nectary, wherein both apoplastic and symplastic routes for prenectar movement and escape appear feasible. Floral and extrafloral nectar differ in sugar concentration and in the predominance of sucrose, both of which are higher in exudate from floral nectaries.

Field Beans

1. The reaction of spring and winter types of field beans and of Windsor broad beans to artificial vernalization treatments and to successional field sowing has been studied.2. The broad bean type came into flower earlier and at a lower node on the stem than any of the field bean types, and this was not affected by either vernalization treatments or successional sowing.3. The field bean types flowered at a low node when sown in winter, but in summer sowings the level of the first flowering node was much higher; the response of the winter types was more extreme than that of the spring types.4. In the summer sowings vernalized plants came into flower earlier and at a lower node than unvernalized, but in the winter sowings both vernalized and unvernalized material flowered at an equally low node.5. A convention for naming the different stems contributing to the yield was evolved, and using this it was shown that the date of sowing affected the stems produced.6. The survival of plants in the field was not found to be affected by vernalization previous to sowing.

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effects of microbial fertilizer and vermicompost applications on the yield and yield related parameters of broad beans (Vicia faba L.) under zero chemical fertilizer applied conditions. Trial area was a highland remote to sea under Mediterranean climate in South Eastern Anatolia of Turkey. It is located in fertile crescent and 180 km away to Karacadag Mountains (Diyarbakir) where Einkorn wheat (Aegilops monococcum L.) was first cultivated in history approximately ten thousand years ago. The broad bean was also among the founder crops of the Near East including the trial location. Methods: Rhizobium leguminosarum inoculant were used as microbial fertilizer in the experiments. Applied vermicompost doses were 0, 400, 800 and 1200 kg ha-1. The trials was conducted for two years and replicated thrice in a randomized block deign. Conclusion: Application of vermicompost was found significantly effective on the plant height, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 grain weight and grain yield. Aapplication of 800 kg ha-1 and 120 kg ha-1 vermicompost along with Rhizobium leguminosarum inoculation was found superior for grain yield.
