Inheritance of Seed Weight in Green Gram (Phaseolus Aureus Roxb).

REEN gram (Phaseohs aureus) and ,black gram (Ph. mungo) are two important legumes of India and Far East, which are grown principally for their protein rich seeds. Evidence suggests their origin in north eastern India, where most of the wild Phaseolus are small seeded. Inheritance of seed size was studied in crosses among the small, medium and the big-seeded agricultural varieties of green gram to get information about the factors contributing to the increase in seed weight.
