Vicia faba L. (faba bean) is one of the most promising pulse crops due to its nutritional value and high nitrogen fixation capacity. The aim present study was compare genetic diversity seed metabolite profiles five materials bean. Specifically, three newly developed advanced lines (KK18, KK14 KK10) two commercial cultivars (POLIKARPI TANAGRA), were evaluated for this purpose. Genetic among populations assessed by SCoT molecular markers. Through UPGMA dendrogram, distances between estimated. Untargeted metabolomics analysis seeds performed employing GC/EI/MS. cultivar POLYKARPI exhibited highest polymorphism. All varieties showed a higher within-cultivars variability than between. had lowest distances, while KK18 TANAGRA presented ones. line displayed best profile, concentration desirable metabolites (lactic acid trehalose), anti-nutritional factors (oxalic acid) saturated fatty acids (palmitic stearic acid). According results study, very material further exploration utilization in breeding programs.

Abstract Root and tuber crops consisting of cassava, sweet potato, taro others root tubers have the important roles as source food, nutrition cash income for many farmers in Indonesia. These also a carbohydrates beside rice, corn, cereals, wheat etc. are second most group crop plants after cereals. The government Indonesia accelerate food diversification based on local resources, especially facing climate change. objective this study was to estimate role household demand East Java research used SUSENAS (Indonesian National Socio-Economic Survey) 2020 data with 31.990 respondents Demand estimated by AIDS (Almost Ideal System) model. results show that average consumption 0,69 kg/household/week (11,23% from foods), whereas rice amount 4,86 (79,68 %), maize 0,25 (4,13%) cereals 0,3 (4,96%). expenditure elasticity 1,36, while 0,78 (normal food), (1,41) (1,27). more than 1 means superior People no longer considers be an inferior food. consumptions highest proportion rice.
