Abstract:

Faba Bean is one of important commercial crop in Qinghai, high protein varieties will increasing along with developing of Qinghai faba bean industry, it was propitious to distribute advantage area for high protein varieties of faba bean, to ensure effective provide and demand, which studied the protein content of different faba bean varieties in different ecology area. The analysis of the difference protein content of different genotypes faba bean by UV spectrophotometer, the results showed that the difference was remarkable between various genotypes faba bean in small seed types and not remarkable in large seed types, the protein content of large seed was higher 18.49% than small seed faba bean, the difference of protein content was extremely remarkable between different varieties, environment and it’s interactive. The protein content of faba bean became lower along with altitude and approximately lines downtrend.
