Development of Transformation Methods for Blackgram (Vigna mungo) for Biotic/Abiotic Stress Tolerance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulses are a major source of dietary protein for the largely vegetarian population of India. However, the production of pulses is limited because of heavy losses due to biotic (viral) and abiotic stresses such as salinity of the soil. Therefore, the present proposal is aimed at overcoming this problem in Vigna mungo (black gram) by introducing the glyoxylase1 (gly1) gene, the over-production of which has been shown to confer salinity, drought and heavy metal stress tolerance in tobacco.

Black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper), is an extensively studied food crop which is affected by many abiotic and biotic factors, especially diseases. The yield potential of Black gram is shallow due to lack of genetic variability and biotic stress susceptibility. Core biotic stress factors include mung bean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV), urdbean leaf crinkle virus (UCLV), wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) an...
