Characterization of the green gram (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes through both morphological and biochemical parameters

Eight genotypes of greengram were collected in the present investigation from AICRP on MULLaRP, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) and they characterized with ten quantitative, nineteen qualitative two biochemical parameters as per NBPGR descriptor. Grouping based DUS descriptors indicate existence genetic diversity within genotypes. These eight evaluated for 31 descriptors. However, 21 characters out differed significantly indicating a large exploitable amount variability individual elite improved line profile development identification protection. The lines are similar important plant traits like semi erect determinate growth habit but types is need hour indicates incorporation new germplasm improvement this trait material. Genotypes could be easily identified through some unique characters: SML-1822 amongst studied here its semi-erect habit, green stem colour purple shade, dark leaf colour, light yellow flower bearing pods below canopy; IPM-512-1 TMB-37 made seeds drum shape dull seed luster respectively; Pusa Vishal leaves along intermediate pod position larger size. Samrat having highest protein well carbohydrate content among these Thus, descriptor data generated profiles can used registration PPV & FRA purity testing.
