The research was conducted in Al-Bassa village, Lattakia Governorate/Syria,
during the agricultural seasons 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, in order to study the
most important economic traits of the selected plants from plant population of
local vetch,
which seeds was obtained from farmers who keep their local seeds and
grow it season after another. The analysis of variance results (ANOVA) showed
significant differences between the selected plants (200 plants) in all studied
traits, which shows the importance and effectiveness of the individual selection
to get high degree of homogeneity plants, which have many desired phenological,
morphological, physiological and productivity characteristics of local vetch. Taking
into consideration that seed productivity was adopted as a determining factor for
the election. The study also showed the possibility of increasing the productivity of
the local vetch populations through the use of superior plants selection (plants No.
9, 21, 26, 47, 52, 78, 105, 118, and 199), and the possibility of doubling production
through the use of promising plants which were selected (plants No. 9, 26, 47, and
199), and use them in subsequent breeding programs, as they represent an important
genetic tank of many desirable traits.
This research was carried out in molecular biology laboratory
faculty of agriculture /Damascus University during the agriculture
season 2015-2016, to study the genetic diversity and determine the
degree of genetic similarity among eleven 11 cultiv
ated vetch
(Aleppo, Idleb, Kamishly, Hassekeh, Tartous, Lattakia, Homs,
Hama, Sweida, Damascus,Daraa) by using the technique ISSR.
