Morphological and technological studies on some lentil (Lens culinaris, Medik) genotypes
Abstract: Morphological and technological traits were utilized to identify some lentil genotypes namely (ILL5782, L318, ILL7706, ILL5993, ILL6461, ILL7556, Line ILL5722 x ILL5728, ILL7616, Line ILL588 x Precoz and Line fam. 300 x Precoz). Two field experiments were performed at Tag El-Eizz Agriculture Research Station, Agricultural Research Center (ARC), in 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 seasons. The main results can be summarized as follows. Some morphological traits can be used for identify between lentil genotypes such as, ground colour of testa, pattern of testa, cotyledon colour, plant height, flowering and maturity time, 100-seed weight and seed yield (g/m2). But some morphological traits were not enough to differentiate between lentil genotypes such as seedlings stem pigmentation where it was present in all genotypes.

Protein banding patterns of the studied lentil genotypes were identified by using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and varied among lentil genotypes. While the genotype ILL6461 has the highest number of total protein bands, the genotype Line ILL558 x precoz has the lowest number of total protein bands. From this study, some morphological traits and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of lentil protein seed could be used for identify between lentil genotypes
