چکیده
Effect of Seaweed Liquid Extract (SLE) of Caulerpa scalpelliformis on growth and biochemical constituents of Vigna mungo was studied. The lower concentration of SLE of C. scalpelliformis (25%) enhanced the percentage of germination, shoot length, root length and biochemical constituents viz., chlorophyll, carotenoid, amino acid, reducing sugar and total sugar contents and α-amylase and β-amylase activities of shoot and root. The SLE showed better responses at lower concentration when compared to control and higher concentrations showed declining trend.

Utilization of seaweed Sargassum myriocystum extracts as a stimulant of seedlings of Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper
The effect of seaweed liquid fertilizer (SLF) of Sargassum myriocystum on germination, growth and biochemical constituents of Vigna mungo was studied. Different concentrations (5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and 75%) of SLF were prepared using distilled water. A total of 100 seeds were soaked for each SLF concentration for a 24-h period and were later placed in various Petri plates and watered regularly. Wa...

In this study, 520 cultivated and 14 wild accessions of black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) were assessed for diversity using 22 SSR markers. Totally, 199 alleles were detected with a mean of 9.05 alleles per locus. Wild black gram showed higher gene diversity than cultivated black gram. Gene diversity of cultivated accessions among regions was comparable, while allelic richness of South Asia ...
