Abstract
Tannin content and tanning power on haemoglobin were evaluated in a co llection of faba-bean genotypes differing in seed and Bower colour. Al l tannin-related measurements gave near-zero values for white-flowered genotypes; they showed intermediate Values in brown and green-seeded genotypes, brown being lower in tannin values than green. Genetic anal ysis in the F-3 of a half-diallel design confirmed the strong link bet ween brown and green testa colour and intermediate tanning activities.
