Working title of PhD thesis: “Faba bean (Vicia faba L.): Genetic enhancement and stabilization of its yield by analysis of pollination and pollinators”.
To increase heterosis in synthetic populations of faba bean, reproductive traits of faba bean are genetically studied in controlled and field conditions employing SNP marker data and phenotypic data. The influence of pollinators on such traits is assessed in field experiments.
