In Egypt and many countries of WANA (West Africa, North Africa), broad bean or faba bean (Vicia faba), is considered the most important food legume; consumed green or dried, fresh or canned, as well as for animal feed (Bond et al., 1985). Furthermore, feeding value of faba bean is high, and is considered in some areas to be superior to field peas or other legumes. It is one of the most important winter crops for human consumption in the Middle East (Duke, 1981). Different wild Vicia species from the Northwest coastal region of Egypt have been identified (Atlas of Legume Plant of the North West of Egypt, 1993). Vicia monantha is a member of the family Fabaceae, belonging to the genus Vicia. It is a wild plant species that is native to the Northern African region, mainly Algeria and Egypt. It is characterized by its obvious withstanding to severe environmental conditions. Such wild plants are considered as an excellent source of stressrelated genes awaiting their isolation and identification.
