abstract = "Serbian botanical name for Lathyrus sativus is “sastrica”. Variety of folk names for
grass pea, such “šoder pasulj”, ”cicor”, “radan”, “sekirče” testify its past
prevalence in the diet of local population. Grass pea is usually consumed boiled,
combined with vegetables, with or without meat, or as a salad. It was nearly
forgotten crop and could rarely be seen on Serbian farms. Recently, grass pea has
been reintroduced in Serbia, mostly for the purpose of organic production. It is
especially important in diet of patients suffering from diabetes. For the purpose of
successful reintroduction, 11 accessions of grass pea cultivated in Serbia were
collected and evaluated. Part of the accessions are landraces collected from the
territory of Serbia, while several accessions were introduced years ago, mostly
from Herzegovina. Evaluated seed traits are: seed size (1000 seed weigh; seed
length, width and thickness), seed shape, seed coat surface, seed color and seed
coat patterns. Seeds were mainly of medium size with rhomboid or triangular
shape. The largest seed had an accession collected from locality Erdevik, laying on
the slopes of Fruska gora Mt. Accession with the smallest seed originated from the
locality Bački Petrovac. Six accessions had monochrome, mainly cream seeds
(except one accession with yellow-green seed) and smooth seed coat surface. The
rest of the accessions are mixture of two types of seeds: monochrome (yellowgreen or cream with smooth seed coat surface) and multicolor (brown, streaked and
tubercular seed coat).",
