Cultivation of improved cultivars resultes in destruction of plant landraces, and their generations are gradually destroying. In the present study, samples of lentillandraces were collected from different regions of Fars province included: Baladeh Kazeroon, Firozzabad, Abadeh, Shahr Mian, Sedeh, Eghlid, Fasa, Neiriz, Jaffarabad, Ghias abab, Darab, Sarhad Chahar Dangeh, Dasht Risi, Deh Siahi, Jamalabad, Ghanat Ebrahim, Sarchahun, Ardekan, Rostagh Darab, Babamaidan, Ghalehbeigi Fahlian, Khomzar, Golgoon, Ghaemieh, Eslamabad and Noorabad. Collected samples were cultivated in non- replicated single row plots of 2 m long and different characteristics including flowering period, 1000 seed weight, seed/pod, pod length, seed emergence percent, days to maturity, lowest pod height, plant height, leaflet size and pod number were recorded. A stepwise regression method was used for determination of effective parameters in yield. The results indicated that nearly 0.745(R2) of changes in yield are related to three characters including number of pod, size of leaflet and 1000 seed weight. Path analysis showed that direct effect of leaflet size on yield by 0.33 was more than the other characters. |
