Description
Summary:Faba bean, reflecting all properties of legume crops such as soil improvement and benefit of human health, also contains L-dopa which can be used to cure Parkinson’s disease, is a rare plant. The study was conducted in Samsun province to determine the L-dopa content of leaf, flower and pod of faba bean genotypes. Four cultivars and 18 lines were sown on November in randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. Samples were taken from leaves at vegatative period, flowers and fresh pods at generative period of faba bean. The L-dopa content was determined by HPLC. According to the result of variance analysis, the differences among genotypes for L-dopa content of flowers and fresh pods were found significant P
