Abstract

The wild form of bitter vetch, Vicia ervilia, grows mainly in Turkey. Wild and cultivated V. ervilia have the same chromosome number (2n =14), share the same karyotype and are interfertile. Pod dehiscence in V. ervilia is governed by two loci and the domesticated phenotype is obtained with the homozygous recessive condition in either locus.
