Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is having a desirable characters like short duration, high protein, less anti nutritional factors, nitrogen fixing capacity, suitable for inter cropping, making many kinds of foods for higher human consumption and cosmetics products and some of the undesirable characters like low yield, low test weight.The aim of the study is to check crossabil;ity of Vigna...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is a fast-growing, warm-season legume crop that is primarily cultivated in developing countries of Asia. Here we construct a draft genome sequence of mungbean to facilitate genome research into the subgenus Ceratotropis, which includes several important dietary legumes in Asia, and to enable a better understanding of the evolution of leguminous species. Based on the de ...

manipulating of planting pattern is a method to increase the crop yield per unit of area which should be considered in different regions. in order to evaluate the effects of between and within row distances on growth indices of gahar mung bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research center of ilam in 2004. the experiment was a split-plot arranged in an rcb design.three between...

objective: to study plants purification capability of  cu on two cultivars of vetch plant (vigna radiata) in contaminated soils and their effects on morphological characteristics. methods: we conducted a completely randomized trial as factorial. different concentrations of  cu (0, 150, 300, and 400 mg/ kg of dried soil) were used. after four weeks growth on contaminated soil, parameters such as...

Arsenic is a great hazard to the environment since it is a major source of soil and water contamination leading to phytotoxicity. Arsenic caused reduction in seed germination and growth of plants including mung bean (Vigna radiata) causing loss of crop productivity. This investigation evaluates effect of arsenic toxicity in mung bean with an attempt to ameliorate it by the application of curcum...

A number of well characterized legume lectins including the enzymic lectin from Vigna radiata were examined for immunological relatedness. The immunological cross-reactions observed indicate that most of the legume lectins, including Vigna lectin, are evolutionarily closely related proteins. The possibility that these proteins are homologs with enzymic functions is discussed.

Leguminous crops, possessing root nodules, fix and utilize atmospheric nitrogen. They are thus not dependent on industrially fixed nitrogen but add up to 30 kg of nitrogen / hectare to the soil and improve its fertility. Access to mineral nitrogen often limits plant growth, and so symbiotic relationships have evolved between plants and a variety of nitrogen-fixing organisms. These associations ...

Low level red light treatments prevented dark-induced leaf abscission in mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek cv Jumbo) cuttings. The amount of inhibition depended upon the level and length of the light treatment. The red light inhibition could be reversed by a brief exposure of tissue to far-red light.
