Rhizobium strains nodulating green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] were found to produce bacteriocin on modified Bergersen's medium and inhibited the growth of homologous Rhizobium strains. Four bacteriocin producing and four bacteriocin non-producing strains were compared for their effect on nodulation, in planta nitrogenase activity and plant dry weight of green gram. The bacteriocin produc...

Peroxisomes from mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) hypocotyls catalyze, in the presence of branched-chain 2-oxo fatty acid, CoASH and NAD, the release of CO(2), and the formation of NADH and acyl-CoA. The acyl-CoA contains one carbon atom less than the branched-chain 2-oxo fatty acid and serves as substrate for the peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase. CO(2) release, NADH and acyl-CoA formation occur in 1:1...

In the present study attempts have been made to characterize urease expression in slow growing Bradyrhizobium strains TAL442 and MO5 which are endosymbionts of green gram (Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek). It was found that urease activity in vegetative cells of both the strains was inducible unlike their fast growing counterparts. Mode of regulation in TAL442 was governed by presence of ammonia. Ure...

The role of ethylene in light control of leaf abscission im mung bean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek cv Jumbo, cuttings was examined. While red light inhibits and far-red light promotes loss of break strength in abscission zones as compared with dark controls, changes in the rate of abscission could not be associated with changes in the rate of ethylene production. Reducing ethylene synthesis in t...

Investigation of root system architecture (RSA) has a huge potential to support the crop improvement under suboptimal nutrient and water conditions. The present study was carried out using eight genotypes each mungbean urdbean for comparative analysis RSA traits among genotypes. Presence significant variations medium high heritability observed traits. KM 12-29 followed by PUSA 9072 LBG 623 PU 1...

Aim: Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is a leguminous crop with high rich of protein and susceptible to cold stress. In silico characterization ICE1, tolerant transcriptional factor in Vigna regulatory network other species special refrence legume crops.
 Methodology: Genomic sequences radiata, V. angularis unguculata crops were retrieved from NCBI (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) used for mul...
