Özet
The nutritional potential of the seeds from grain legumes is universally recognised, since depending on the species they contain high levels of of protein, starch or oil. They play a very important role in sustainable agriculture, particularly in developing countries as they are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen by symbiotic relationship with nitrogen fixing bacteria (Rhizobium sp.) [1]. The genus Vicia L. (Leguminosae, Vicieae) comprises about 166 species, chiefly located in temperate, tropical and subtropical areas of of the world [2]. Most of them are diploids with a basic number x=5, 6 or 7 [3,4]; only six species are polyploids [5]. Cytological studies have tended to focus on the two most important economic species; Vicia faba L. and V. sativa [2,3,5]. V. sativa shows considerable variation in almost every trait, but particularly in leaflet morphology and in basic chromosome number [3,6,7].
