Microgreens belong to a class of functional foods with valuable nutritional elements and diverse health benefits when consumed as food supplements. Its consumption has increased sharply due the abundance different health-promoting components than their mature plants. The present study investigated growth conditions profiles six crops (mungbean, lentil, red radish, pearl-millet, mustard, cabbage) microgreens grown under light 16 h light/8 dark cycle. Firstly, optimum temperature day...
Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) remains a major constraint in mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.)) production; while short-duration genotypes offer multiple crop cycles per year and help escaping terminal heat stress, especially during summer cultivation. A comprehensive genotyping by sequencing (GBS)-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) analysis was conducted using 132 diverse for traits like flowering time, YMD resistance, soil plant development (SPAD) value, trichome density, leaf area. The...
Roots enable the plant to survive in natural environment by providing anchorage and acquisition of water nutrients. In this study, root architectural traits 153 mungbean genotypes were compared under optimum low phosphorus (P) conditions. Significant variations medium high heritability observed for traits. Total length was positively significantly correlated with total surface area, volume, tips forks both P (r = 0.95, r 0.85, 0.68 0.82 respectively) 0.82, 0.71 0.81 respectively). The...
Mungbeans and lentils are relatively easily grown cheaper sources of microgreens, but their phytonutrient diversity is not yet deeply explored. In this study, 20 diverse genotypes each mungbean lentil were as microgreens under plain-altitude (Delhi) high-altitude (Leh) conditions, which showed significant genotypic variations for ascorbic acid, tocopherol, carotenoids, flavonoid, total phenolics, DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric-reducing antioxidant power), peroxide...
Yellow Mosaic Disease (YMD) in mungbean [ Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] is one of the most damaging diseases Asia. In northern part India, YMD caused by Mungbean India Virus (MYMIV), while southern this (MYMV). The molecular mechanism resistance remains largely unknown. study, RNA-seq analysis was conducted between a resistant (PMR-1) and susceptible (Pusa Vishal) genotype under infected control conditions to understand regulatory network operating mungbean-YMV. Overall, 76.8 million raw...
Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is an important pulse crop in India. A major constraint for improved productivity the yield loss caused by mungbean yellow mosaic disease (MYMD). This several begomoviruses which are transmitted whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). The objective of this study was to identify predominant infecting and cryptic species B. associated with indigenous Asia II 1 found dominant Northern India, whereas 8 Southern Repeated samplings over...
Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an annual grain legume crop affected by low availability of phosphorus. Phosphorus deficiency mainly affects the growth and development plants along with changes in root morphology increase root-to-shoot ratio. Deciphering genetic basis phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) traits can benefit our understanding mungbean tolerance to low-phosphorus condition. To address this issue, 144 diverse genotypes were evaluated for 12 PUE under hydroponics optimum-...
A comprehensive understanding of crop responses to diverse environments is essential for designing efficient breeding programs. Currently, such insights are lacking large-seeded lentils under Indian climatic conditions. Given that, this study aimed assess the impacts conditions on phenological developments and yield lentils. This also determine genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI), identify mega-environments, ideal testing locations enhance efficiency national For this, sets lentil...
With climate change projections indicating an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events and irregular rainfall patterns globally, threat to global food security looms large. Terminal stress, which occurs during critical reproductive stage, significantly limits lentil productivity. Therefore, there is urgent need improve lentil's resilience stress sustain production. However, studies identifying heat-tolerant sources lentils are limited. To address these issues, we assessed 158...
Microgreens have been used for raw consumption and are generally viewed as healthy food. This study aimed to optimize the yield parameters, shelf life, sensory evaluation characterization of total aerobic bacteria (TAB), yeast mold (Y&M), Escherichia coli , Salmonella spp., Listeria spp. incidence in mungbean ( Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), lentil Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. ), Indian mustard Brassica juncea Czern & Coss.) microgreens. In lentil, seeding-density three seed/cm 2...
Mungbean is an important food grain legume for human nutrition and nutritional due to its nutrient-dense seed, liked palatability, high digestibility. However, anti-nutritional factors pose a significant risk improving quality bio-fortification. In the present study, genetic architecture of micronutrients (grain iron zinc concentration) phytic acid tannin content) in association mapping panel 145 diverse mungbean were evaluated. Based on all four parameters genotypes PUSA 1333 IPM 02-19...
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic base the released cultivars which results susceptibility biotic and abiotic stresses. For enhancement production, broadening essentially required. The can be broadened by using diverse types including bold seeded early maturing from Mediterranean region related wild species. Genetic diversity eighty six accessions three species genus Lens was assessed based on twelve genomic thirty one EST-SSR...
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping is used for the precise localization of genomic regions regulating various traits in plants. Two major QTLs Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) value ( qSPAD-7-1 ) and trichome density qTric-7-2 mungbean were identified using recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations (PMR-1×Pusa Baisakhi) on chromosome 7. Functional analysis QTL region 35 candidate genes SPAD (16 No) (19 traits. The dorsal leaf surface include VRADI07G24840, VRADI07G17780 ,...
Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is a major constraint for the low productivity of mungbean, mainly in South Asia. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive approach, integrating field and challenge inoculation evaluations to identify effective solutions. In study, an infectious clone Begomovirus vignaradiataindiaense (MYMIV) was developed obtain pure culture virus confirm resistance mungbean plants exhibiting under natural conditions. The infectivity efficiency three Agrobacterium tumefaciens...
Lentil is a major cool-season grain legume grown in South Asia, West and North Africa. Populations developing countries of these regions have micronutrient deficiencies; therefore, breeding programs should focus more on improving the content food. In present study, set 96 diverse germplasm lines were evaluated at three different locations India to examine variation iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) concentration identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that associate with genetic variation. The among...
Dry root rot (Rhizoctonia bataticola) is an important disease of lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.).To gain insight into the molecular aspects host-pathogen interactions, RNA-seq approach was used in following inoculation with R.bataticola. The RNA-Seq has generated >450 million high-quality reads (HQRs) and nearly 96.97% were properly aligned to reference genome. Very high similarity FPKM (fragments per kilobase exon mapped fragments) values (R > 0.9) among biological replicates showed...
