Traits observed

The way the main stem continues growth recorded at 50% flowering. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

The shape of the plant recorded at 50% flowering. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

An assessment of the plant leafiness recorded at 50% flowering. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the absence/presence of secondary colour on leaflets at pre-flowering stage. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the predominant shape of a mature terminal leaflet, including the shape of the leaflet tip, at 50% flowering. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Length of central leaflet at its longest point, excluding any petiole

Width of leaflet at its widest point

An assessment of the hairiness of the surface of a mature leaflet recorded at 50% flowering. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the predominant flower colour of the upper side of the standard petal on a fully newly opened flower. Flower colour of the wing petals and keel could be scored in a similar way as an additional descriptor if these differ in colour from the standard. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the predominant colour of mature pods at harvest stage. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the predominant pod shape. See Figure 3 in the source document. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the number of seeds in a mature pod. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Record the predominant texture of the seed pod. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Length of fully developed pod at longest point, excluding any stalk, prior to maturity

Record the percentage of secondary seed colour as bicolour, spots and mottling on mature seeds. Measure/count each descriptor on 10 randomly selected plants or plant parts and report as a mean, with standard deviation, if relevant, for the accession.

Mean height of three representative plants measured in centimeters, recorded at maturity.

Number of leaflets per leaf
