ABSTRACT: Faba bean (Vicia faba L) seeds are an important source of plant protein for humans
and animals. A total of 15,697 Differentially
Expressed Genes (DEGs) with pathway annotation were discovered in RNA-Seq of
the faba bean seeds. A total of 75
significant KEGG pathways abundance were discovered and 9 pathways were
conserved within all genotypes. 41 significant pathways were found to be
partially conserved within comparisons of 2 to 6 pairs of genotypes and 25
significant pathways were unique to single pairs of genotypes. There were 8
specific significant pathways discovered related to the faba bean seed Hydration Capacity trait and 9 specific significant
pathways discovered related to the PSbMV seeds staining trait. The DEGs
demonstrated the genetic distance between these varieties was confirmed by the
breeding pedigree selection information and a PCA graph clearly illustrated the
genetic distance within these genotypes.
