Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum L.) Germplasm Collection in Oman
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a legume crop grown for medicinal and traditional consumption, not only in Oman but also in the neighboring gulf and other countries. This paper highlights the outputs of collecting missions of fenugreek germplasm and seed variation found in collected accessions. The mission led to the collection of 49 seed samples/accessions, from 43 sites, with the most from Batinah South governorate (14) represented mostly by Rustaq, followed by Interior/Al-Dakhliyah (13), Eastern/ Al-Sharqiyah (12) and Dhahira & Buraimi (10) governorates. The seed accessions were diverse with respect to all seed characters studied, i.e. seed length (cm) and width (cm) and 1000-seed weight (g) besides seed color. Critical analysis of seed colors of these samples indicated the presence of 16 groups of which the largest group of 10 seed accessions had green, yellowish green and light brown seeds. Collection Nos. 2, 24, 52, 155, 160, 175 and 212 formed groups of their own due to the unique combination of seed colors.
