Relationships between agro/morphological characters and climatic parameters in Spanish landraces of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

摘要: One hundred and one Spanish landraces of lentil maintained in the Plant Genetic Resources Centre (CRF) coming from different micro-climatic areas were evaluated for 16 morphological characters. Origin zones classified following Papadakis agro-climatic parameters relationships between climatic data traits analysed. The results indicated that a great part came temperate with dry Mediterranean moisture regime. Most varieties had plant pigmentation, slight leaf pubescence, white flowers blue or violet veins, green testa without pattern yellow cotyledons. Two clear groups based on seed characters could be established coinciding Barulina's description macrosperma microspermatypes. Other high agronomic importance as phenology height showed less usefulness discriminating accessions. Characters related to productivity most correlation climate origin sites, while did not show significant correlations. variables extreme temperatures more effective than average rainfall explain variability. patterns detected seems due geographical location two conditions, indicating must migrated criteria preferred by farmers.
