dark-green leaves and stems, SEG-4—with blue fl owers and dark-green leaves and
stems, SEG-5—with violet fl owers and purple pigmented leaves and stems, SEG-6—
with cream-colored fl owers and dark-green leaves and stems.
The standard variety samples differed in plant height and seed production. The
plant height in the standard variety samples ranged from 130 to 140 cm (Table 26.3).

The tallest (140 cm) was the variety sample SEG-3 with blue fl owers, dark-green
leaves, and stems. The number of the stems per plant in the third year of life depending
on the variety sample was 28-44 pieces. The largest number (44 pcs) was observed
in the white fl ower varieties SEG-1 with light-green leaves. According to the analysis
of the structural elements of the seed production, it was found out that on the average
one stem of the studied samples formed from 4.9 to 6.4 trusses ranging from 75 to 120
beans, from 165.3 to 259.3 pieces, mass from 1.2 to 2.0 g of seeds. The whole plant
(bush) produced from 42.9 to 75.0 g of seeds, their mass of 1000 ranged from 7.3 to
8.1 g.
The average number of seeds per pod was 1.8-2.8 pieces and the empty pods
were not excluded. Seed setting was the highest among light-blue fl owering samples
of SEG-3, and seed production in the violet fl owering types of SEG-5 whose plant
produced 75.0 g of seeds.
The crude protein content in dry matter of green mass in the phase of the begin-
ning of budding in the studied samples was: in the white fl ower form 27.7 percent; in
the lilac fl ower form 25.6 percent; in the light-blue fl ower form 24.8 percent; in the
blue fl ower form 25.3 percent and in the violet fl ower form 23.2 percent. The highest
protein content has a white fl ower form, indicating the prospect of using this trait in
breeding.
