摘要： The genus Vicia comprises approximately 160 annual and perennial species. The most economically important is Vicia faba, which is the only species used currently for human food. Several species have been used as food in the past to a limited extent, usually in times of famine. Other species are important as forage and grain crops. Chief among these are common vetch (V. sativa subsp. saliva), narbon bean (V. narbonensis), woolly pod vetch (V. villosa) and bitter vetch (V. ervilia). Faba bean grain isalso used for animal feed, especially in North Africa and Europe. ICARDA has the largest collection of this species as well as a large regional (West Asia and North Africa) collection of other Vicia species. Other significant collections are maintained in Australia, China, Italy, Spain and Russia. Vicia faba and the forage Vicia species have orthodox seeds and large collections are available. Some of the other species of Vicia are being investigated for their potential for grain production. The partialoutcrossing of faba bean causes problems in maintaining the identity of accessions in germplasm collections and methods have been proposed to overcome the difficulty, including pure-line collections and self-pollinated bulks. Germplasm collections of Vicia faba and forage vetch have yielded good sources of resistance to biotic stresses such as chocolate spot, Ascochyta blight, stem nematodes, root-knot nematodes and rust. These sources have been used to develop improved cultivars of faba bean in the UK,France, Egypt, Iran and Australia. Much effort is still needed to overcome other biotic stresses, especially Orobanche crenata, a major limitation to faba bean production in Mediterranean areas. Good sources of autofertility have been found in the collections of faba bean. There is still a need to collect landraces of faba bean in China, South America and to some extent in West Asia and North Africa before they are replaced by modern cultivars.
