The study looked at different types of faba bean plants to see how they vary genetically in terms of certain traits. They found that most traits showed significant differences among the plants, except for a few like pods per plant and seeds per pod. The number of branches per plant and harvest index had the highest variation. Traits like seeds per pod and pods per plant were less influenced by genetics. Overall, the study suggests that certain traits in faba bean plants are more likely to be passed down from parent to offspring, while others are less influenced by genetics.
