Abstract
Resistance to drought of 13 inbred lines of field bean and 9 synthetic populations originated from these lines was evaluated. Our studies included two-year field trials and morphological descriptions of all plants from treatments designated ‘control’ (natural field conditions) and ‘drought’ (polyethylene tunnel in the period of plant flowering). When estimating the resistance of plants to drought, two criteria were taken into account: yielding under drought conditions and plant response to drought, expressed in the number of: fruiting nodes, pods per plant, seeds per plant and seed yield per plant. The response has been shown in the work as a tolerance by using percentage values illustrating the proportion of evaluated trait in the drought treatment (D) to that in the control treatment (C), taken as 100%. It was found that the response of synthetic populations was less pronounced than that of the lines, and showed higher heterosis effect under water deficiency than under field conditions. Analysis of correlation (mean value for components — synthetics) showed that the yield obtained in drought conditions was a better criterion for selecting inbred lines to become the components of synthetic cultivars than the response to drought.
