One Shade Too Dark - Tale of Condensed Tannins in Faba Bean Seed Coats
| Division: | Biotechnology | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Saskatoon | | City: | Saskatoon, SK | | School: | Greystone Heights | | Abstract: | In my project I conducted a molecular and chemical assessment on the diversity of 16 faba bean lines. My intention was to determine the genetic similarities and differences of those faba bean lines; and to find out which precursor, catechin or epicatechin, exists in the seed coat of these faba beans that accounts for making condensed tannins. |
