The seeds of ragi and paddy were germinated with six concentrations of cobalt chloride solution ranging from 5-100 mg/l in hydroponic condition upto 8 days. The germination was found increased significantly under low level of cobalt with decreased in germination and reduction in the length of radical and plumule were observed in seeds of ragi and paddy. Vigour index, tolerance index and dry weight of root and shoot of the seedlings increased at low level of cobalt treatments and decreased with increase in cobalt concentrations. However, the germination percentage of ragi and paddy seeds showed a significant difference with cobalt treatment.

  • Morphological and Agronomic Traits Variations for Mungbean Variety Selection and Improvement in Uganda
    African Crop Science Journal, Vol. 22, No. 2, pp. 123 - 136 ISSN 1021-9730/2014 $4.00 Printed in Uganda. All rights reserved © 2014, African Crop Science Society MORPHOLOGICAL AND AGRONOMIC TRAITS VARIATIONS FOR MUNGBEAN VARIETY SELECTION AND IMPROVEMENT IN UGANDA A. WANIALE, N. WANYERA1 and H. TALWANA School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Makerere University, P. O. Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda 1National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Organization, P. O. Box Soroti, Uganda Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received 18 December, 2013; accepted 5 May, 2014) ABSTRACT Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek), is a pulse species that is widely cultivated in sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. Unfortunately, the yield of mungbean in Uganda is very low mainly due to inherent genotype failures and losses due to pests and diseases. To achieve a gain in yield through breeding requires collection, characterisation, and evaluation of germplasm, as the first step in identifying genotypes with the desired characteristics. The objective of this study was to describe the nature and extent of genotypic variation among mungbean collections for a range of traits of potential agronomic and adaptive interests in Uganda. A total of 35 mungbean accessions acquired mainly from the World Vegetable Centre (AVRDC) in Taiwan, two local ricebean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi and Ohashi) and one local blackgram genotype (Vigna mungo) were evaluated for several diverse traits for two cropping seasons at two different locations in Uganda. Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) was significant (P < 0.001) for all the traits, indicating inconsistent performance by some genotypes across two locations and two seasons.

Studies and Research in Genetics, Walchand College of Arts and Science, Solapur (M.S.), India * P.G.Department of Botany, D.S.M.College, Parbhani (M.S.), India ABSTRACT The present investigation was conducted during the kharif season of 2009, seeds of black gram [Vingo mungo (L) Hepper] variety TPU-4 was exposed to gamma rays doses at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50KR. Wide range of chlorophyll and viable morphological mutations affecting almost all the parts of plant and were isolated in M 2 generation. Mutant characters were grouped as Chlorophyll, leaf, and pod mutants. Chlorophyll mutations include albino, coppery leaf, light green leaf, variegated leaf, waxy leaf, xantha leaf. Leaf mutations were lanceolate, narrow- rugose leaf, round cuneate leaf, unifoliate, and tetrafoliate leaf. Pod mutations were lobed and hairy pods. Higher chlorophyll mutation rate was observed with gamma rays dose of 30KR. Key words: Black gram, gamma rays, Chlorophyll and viable mutations. INTRODUCTION Black gram ( Vigna mungo L. Hepper), popularly known as urdbean, urid or mash is an important self-pollinating diploid grain legume and belongs to the family Leguminosae and subfamily Papilionaceae. It is an important food legume crop of the Indian subcontinent [22], It is rich protein content [9]. And is widely cultivated grain legume in the Indian sub-continent, comprising of India, Burma, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

Accepted 1 March, 2012 Vigna radiata (mung bean) and Vigna mungo (mash bean) of the family Fabaceae are among staple food in Pakistan. The experiments were conducted on these beans to determine the proximate composition such as moisture, ash, fibre, fat and protein content. The protein isolates from V. radiata and V. mungo was prepared and their functional properties (foaming, nitrogen solubility index and SDS gel electrophoresis) were also analyzed . All biochemical constituents were analyzed using official methods of analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (2005). Results show that they have high protein content and play significant role in human nutrition. These beans have high nitrogen solubility and less fat content; which is a characteristic generally needed for healthy food. This research concluded that V. radiata has high percentage of moisture (9.74 ± 0.19), fat (1.35 ± 0.048) and protein content (22.5 ± 0.24) as compared to V. mungo (7.9 ± 0.06, 1.01 ± 0.01, 21.3 ± 0.24, respectively).
