Effect of sodium arsenate (Na2HAsO4.7H2O) on the growth and activity of few oxidizing enzymes of mungbean seedlings was investigated and it was found to have drastic effects on the growth and biochemical metabolism of germinating mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek cv. B-105) seedlings. With the increase in concentration of sodium arsenate (5μM, 10μM and 20μM) significant decrease in seedling ...

In order to assess the occurrence, distribution and importance of viral diseases of mungbean and mashbean crops in Punjab, Pakistan, an extensive survey was conducted during summer season of 2004. The symptomatic plant samples were collected from farmer’s fields and experimental plots at research stations and tested by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect and identify viruses inf...

intercropping systems lead to reduce weeds population and their biomass. in order to study effect of marigold (calendula officinalis) and mungbean (vigna radiata) intercropping in different sowing times on yield and weeds control a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was performed in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2012 in three replications. stud...

Legumes are considered to be an important component of subsistence cropping systems because of their ability to form nodules in symbiotic process with Rhizobium bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into assimilable form of ammonia, to add substantial amount of organic matter to the soil and to grow better than many other crops with low inputs under harsh climatic and edaphic condit...

The field experiments were conducted during 2017-19 at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India. main aim of study was to find out a suitable cropping system that can replace existing rice-wheat realize higher productivity and profitability. Four systems, viz. rice (Oryza sativa L.) - mustard (Brassica juncea mungbean (Vigna radiata L.), maize (Zea mays mustard-mungbean...

filed experiment was conducted to study the effect of manure and various combinations of foxtail millet and mungbean intercropping on the grain yield, weed performance,and the nutrients concentration in millet. the experimental design was a split plot with three replications. main plots were differentmanure rates (0, 15 and 30 t ha-1) and the subplots comprised five combinations of intercroppin...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique was used to detect rDNA sites in chickpea and mungbean. In chickpea, the rDNA sites were detected on three pairs of chromosomes. Among these three pairs of chromosomes, one pair exhibited both 25S rDNA and 5S rDNA sites, while in case of other two pairs of chromosomes the 25S rDNA and 5S rDNA sites were located separately on separate pair of c...

Phytic acid (PA) is the storage form of phosphorus (P) in seeds and plays an important role in the nutritional quality of food crops. There is little information on the genetics of seed and seedling PA in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified for phytic acid P (PAP), total P (TP), and inorganic P (IP) in mungbean seeds and seedlings, and for flower...

We performed deep sequencing of the nuclear and organellar genomes of three mungbean genotypes: Vigna radiata ssp. sublobata TC1966, V. radiata var. radiata NM92 and the recombinant inbred line RIL59 derived from a cross between TC1966 and NM92. Moreover, we performed deep sequencing of the RIL59 transcriptome to investigate transcript variability. The mungbean chloroplast genome has a quadripa...

Mungbean (Vigna radiate L. Wilczek) is an important legume crop for its valuable nutritional and health benefits. Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a capacity of seeds to survive and maintain physiological activities during storage and under stress conditions. Many studies of DT have been reported in other legume crop, such as soybean and Medicago truncatula with little studies in the mungbean. In ...
