carried out. Trial design: twelve plots measuring 2 x 1 m 2<br />
planted in the field in loamy sand of uniform texture, using<br />
4 replicates each of the candidate and comparator varieties.<br />
One hundred stolons were used to establish individual trial<br />
plot replicates from pre-trial field plantings of each variety,<br />
established at the site in 1997. Measurements: 100 random<br />
samples for unmown height, leaf length and width, node<br />
frequency, 25 for rhizome/stolon thickness, angle of shoot<br />
emergence, <strong>12</strong> grid counts for seed head density.<br />

FABA BEAN<br />
Vicia faba<br />
‘Fiesta VF’<br />
Application No: 97 / 327 Accepted: 11 Dec 1997.<br />
Applicant: Luminis Pty Ltd (as assignee from The<br />
University of Adelaide), Adelaide, SA and<br />
Grains Research and Development Corporation, Barton,<br />
ACT.<br />
Characteristics (Table 11, Figure 38) Plant: indeterminate<br />
growth habit, height medium, flowering intermediate,<br />
maturity intermediate. Flowers: white, standard petal slight<br />
– moderate streaks, melanin spot on wing petal. Pod: length<br />
medium, curvature absent or slight. Seed: medium (mean<br />
0.75g), shape broad elliptical, colour beige, hilum black.<br />
Disease reaction: more resistant to foliar diseases than other<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n faba bean varieties, moderately susceptible to<br />
chocolate spot, caused by Botrytis fabae and heterogeneous<br />
for reaction to Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta fabae<br />
with an overall population rating of moderately resistant.<br />
Origin and Breeding Phenotypic selection followed by<br />
open pollination: ‘Fiesta VF’ was originally designated as<br />
Acc483 in the University of Adelaide Faba bean Breeding<br />
Program. Acc483 was selected from the inbred line<br />
BPL1196 seln B8817 obtained from the International<br />
Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, Syria.<br />
The parent population was characterised by uneven seed<br />
size. Following multiplication in quarantine at the Waite<br />
Campus in 1991, progeny of single plants of BPL1196 seln<br />
B8817 were divided into two selections, Acc483 (100 seed<br />
weight 67g) and Acc649 (100 seed weight 109g). Acc483<br />
was multiplied in an isolation plot (200m from other faba<br />
beans) at Glenthorne Research Farm, O’Halloran Hill, SA,<br />
in 1992 and sorted to remove off-type seeds. Seed produced<br />
from a multiplication of Acc483 in 1994, and graded over<br />
9mm and 11.5mm sieves, was selected to become the<br />
variety ‘Fiesta VF’. Grading to improve uniformity of seed<br />
size occurred during all subsequent generations of<br />
multiplication (1994-1997). Intra-population crosspollination<br />
was allowed at all stages of multiplication to<br />
ensure inbreeding depression did not occur within the<br />
population. Selection criteria: seed characteristics (size and<br />
colour), grain yield and disease resistance (chocolate spot,<br />
moderately susceptible and Ascochyta blight moderately<br />
resistant). Propagation: seed grown in spatial isolation from<br />
other faba beans through 5 generations. Breeders: Ron<br />
Knight and Jeff Paull, Waite Campus, University of<br />
Adelaide, Glen Osmond, SA.<br />
