Legume Characterization 2024
Legume characterization data collected in Ethiopia, in four sites, Soddo, Shola, Zwai, and Bishoftu
Site in Ethiopia where accession was characterised
Date when the accession was planted
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.
Height from the ground to tip of 10 randomly chosen mature plants
Record the number of leaflets making up one leaf 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 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 flower colour on the lower side of the standard of a fully newly opened flower. Refer to adaxial side for relevant colours.
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.
Length of fully developed pod at longest point, excluding any stalk, prior to maturity
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 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.
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.
