Abstract
Through the process of domestication, cultivated crops have been selected from their wild ancestors for various anthropocentrically important characteristics. Tetragonolobus palaestinus Bioss is a wild grain legume species which grows naturally on the plains and hilly areas of north Jordan and neighbouring countries. In a study of agronomic and morphological traits of wild populations of T. palaestinus at two locations, the following variables were evaluated: number and dry weight of nodules per plant, plant height, number of branches and pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100‐seed weight, and seed weight per plant. Positive and significant correlations between 14 pairs of variables were noted, including number and dry weight of nodules per plant, plant height, number of branches and pods per plant, pod length, and seed weight per plant. The wild populations of T. palaestinus studied here appeared to be homogenous, although some of the observed variation could have arisen from variation of the environmental conditions among locations.
