Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'OAC Durham', 'S07-D2' and 'S07-M8'
Summary: The anthocyanin colouration is present on the hypocotyl of 'Albenga' whereas it is absent on the hypocotyl of 'OAC Durham'. When 50% of the flowers are open, the terminal leaflet of 'Albenga' is medium sized whereas those of 'S07-D2' and 'S07-M8' are small. The flower of 'Albenga' is violet whereas the flower of 'OAC Durham' is white. When 95% of the pods are ripe, the pubescence on the middle third of the stem of 'Albenga' is light tawny whereas it is tawny on 'S07-M8' and grey on 'OAC Durham' and 'SD07-D2'. The plants of 'Albenga' are taller than the plants of 'OAC Durham' and S07-M8' and shorter than the plants of 'S07-D2'. The intensity of brown colour on the pod of 'Albenga' is of medium to dark intensity whereas it is light to medium intensity for 'OAC Durham'. At maturity, the seed of 'Albenga' is medium to large whereas that of 'OAC Durham' is small to medium sized. 'Albenga' does not retain the abscission layer on the hilum whereas the hilum of 'S07-M8' does retain the abscission layer. The seed weight of 'Albenga' is greater than that of 'OAC Durham' and 'S07-M8'.

POD: medium to dark brown
SEED: medium to large, spherical flattened, yellow ground colour of testa
HILUM: yellow, yellow funicle, abscission layer absent
Origin & Breeding History: 'Albenga' (experimental designation CM16-6059) originated from a cross made in Reichersberg, Austria between 'SY Eliot' and 'Korus' in 2011. The crossed material was derived using a single-pod descent technique until the F4 generation when a single plant was selected for maturity, protein content, yield, lodging resistance and resistance to pod shattering in 2012. Seed from this plant was harvested and maintained by pedigree selection until the F4:7 generation when 9 plants were selected for morphological uniformity in 2015 to establish the breeder seed.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'Albenga' were conducted at C&M Seeds in Palmerston, Ontario, Canada in 2020 and 2021. The trials were planted in a RCB design with 4 replicates per variety. Each plot was 4 square metres and consisted of 4 rows space 0.4 metres apart with a seeding density of 70 seeds per square metre. Measurements were taken from 20 plants or parts of 20 plants of each variety per year. Mean differences were significant at the 5% probability level based on LSD values.
