Genetic variation in high-protein pea

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Of the four high-protein genotypes isolated after induced mutations and breeding, two exhibited height and yield nearly equal to the Bonneville pea variety, but matured later. Their stability for protein yield over generations and locations, aminogram pattern and nutritional value remains to be determined. Path analysis and correlations indicate that developing a short-statured pea with higher yield and increased protein content may not be possible with the available breeding methods and germ plasm.
