Three large-seeded, tannin-free cultivars and one large-seeded, tannin-containing cultivar were crossed with three small-seeded, tannin-containing cultivars and with a small-seeded, tannin-containing advanced line. All three large-seeded cultivars carried the same single recessive gene conferring the white-flower, the absence of pigment on the nectaries of the stipules, the absence of anthocyanic pigments on the stems and the tannin-free seed coat characteristics. Changes in seed coat weight and seed coat composition were associated with the tannin-free characteristics. It is concluded that the tannin-free characteristic can be easily introduced into fababean lines.

Newly created “Garaja” variety and the forms with lower lever of tanin introduced from ICARDA will allow widening of the field of Vicia Faba culture. Until present, culture of Vicia Faba in Azerbaijan was limited to household. In Azerbaijan, the sowing of vegetable beans does not have much production value. The culture is mainly used for research purposes and is cultivated in small areas, like garden. Therefore, the study of the morphobiological features of plants of the prospective variety in each region and the comprehensive study of the genetic resources of culture is relevant. The article is devoted to the results of a study of the local gene pool of horse or fodder beans and materials from ICARDA. Yield and analysis of crop structure, disease resistance were analyzed. Since samples with a low level of harmful substances are new for our republic. These studies are an important initial study for the subsequent production of new varieties. We hope that this will lead to an increase in the acreage of legumes in our republic.

Resistance to lettuce mosaic (LMV) in current cultivars of lettuce is due to a single recessive gene, momo, in one of two allelic forms. The nature of the resistance may be described as resistance to multiplication and spread in the plant. Resistance is systemically manifested as small irregular yellowish areas on the leaf. This compares to the usual expression of susceptibility: vein clearing, followed by mottling, leaf margin recurving, and later stunting and yellowing. A cos-like stem lettuce from Egypt, `Balady Aswan', is susceptible to LMV, but reaction to the virus is a milder one than the usual susceptible reaction. Segregating generations from crosses with normal susceptible and resistant lines were analyzed. The data suggest a single gene for reaction type, with mild dominant or partially dominant to severe. Selection of lines from crosses with the resistant type allows the breeder to select resistant and mild alleles together, which confers a higher level of resistance than momo alone. Plants with the combined reaction either show no symptom or show the resistant symptom very late.

In lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) condensed tannins are responsible for seed coat darkening during storage and the associated reduction in crop quality. The vanillin-HCl method was used to measure tannin concentration. Tannins were present only in the seed coat. Tannin concentration in the seed coat of 87 lines from the USDA World Lentil Collection ranged from 35 to 93 g kg−1 and averaged 63.3 g kg−1. The zero-tannin trait of PI 345635 lentil was controlled by a single recessive gene (tan tan) that had pleiotropic effects on plant pigmentation and seed coat thickness. Heritability of tannin concentration among lines containing tannin was 66.4 ± 4.4%, based on the components of variance method. Selection for lower or higher tannin concentration in lentil should be effective.Key words: Lentil, tannin, tannin genetics, proanthocyanidin, Lens culinaris

Zucchini yellow fleck virus (ZYFV) is a potyvirus that occurs in cucurbits grown in some Mediterranean countries. `Marketer' cucumber responded to ZYFV infection with a severe mosaic, stunting, and leaf and fruit deformation. A high level of resistance to this virus was found in a single plant selection of `Taichung Mou Gua' (TMG) cucumber from Taiwan. In F2 and backcross populations involving TMG × `Marketer', the resistance to ZYFV was determined to be conferred by a single recessive gene, to which the symbol zyf is assigned.
