This study was conducted to determine the effects of anticipated future level of CO2 on growth and dry matter partitioning of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Plants were grown from seedlings to maturity inside the open top chamber under amhient CO2 (350 +/- 25 microL L(-1)) and elevated CO2 (600 +/- 50 microL L(-1)) at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (India). Plants were harvested a...

mungbean (vigna radiata (l.) wilczek) or green gram as a dryland grain legume is exposed to varied timings and severity of drought stress, resulting in variability in photoassimilate production. in order to evaluate some physiological responses in one mungbean cultivar to timing and severity of drought stress, a 3-replicate rcbd (randomized complete block design) field experiment was carried ou...

Plant vacuolar NHX exchangers play a significant role in adaption to salt stress by compartmentalizing excess cytosolic Na+ into vacuoles and maintaining cellular homeostasis and ionic equilibrium. We cloned an orthologue of the vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter gene, VrNHX1 from mungbean (Vigna radiata), an important Asiatic grain legume. The VrNHX1 (Genbank Accession number JN656211.1) contains 2095...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the major legume crops containing high carbohydrate and protein contents. In this study, total phenolic flavonoid contents ABTS/DPPH radical scavenging activity whole sprouts seed coats were evaluated by using 10 mungbean genotypes with diverse coat colors origins. Qualitative/quantitative analysis individual secondary metabolites was performed ultrahigh pe...

Growth parameters such as leaf area (LA), total dry mass (TDM) production, crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), and net assimilation rate (NAR) were compared in six varieties of mungbean under subtropical condition (24°8' N 90°0' E) to identify limiting growth characters for the efficient application of physiology breeding for higher yields. Results revealed that a relatively sma...

The New Crops Program of Virginia State University, established in 1991, has evaluated the production feasibility of a wide array of leguminous crops including chickpea, faba bean, mungbean, and pigeonpea under Virginia’s agro-climatic conditions (Bhardwaj et al. 1996). Such crops could provide alternatives to farmers in Virginia and adjoining Mid-Atlantic States. These farmers, in general, rel...

Molecular confirmation of interspecific recombinants is essential to overcome the issues like self-pollination, environmental influence, and inadequacy of morphological characteristics during interspecific hybridization. The present study was conducted for genetic confirmation of mungbean (female) and mashbean (male) interspecific crosses using molecular markers. Initially, polymorphic random a...

Paithumbase is an established database for identifying the phenotypic variations of the mungbean germplasm accessions preserved in the National Pulses Research Centre, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. This database provides information on both quantitative and qualitative traits of the mungbean germplasm. The database architecture was built with a GUI interface, developed in PHP and HTML as ...

Weed infestations significantly reduce the growth and yield of field crops. Herbicides are mostly used for weed management due to their quick results. However, resistant biotypes available herbicides rapidly increasing around word. This situation calls development alternative strategies. Crop rotation allelopathic water extracts regarded as most important Therefore, this two-year study assessed...
