Abstract
Pulses are an important source of staple protein for vegetarians
which constitute a major population of the country. Mungbean is also
known as green gram, an ancient pulse crop widely cultivated under
different agro-ecological situations in India mainly during Kharif and
summer seasons. It is a diploid species having chromosome number
(2n=22) belongs to family Leguminosae (Fabaceae), sub-family
Papilionaceae and is botanically recognized as Vigna radiata (L.)
Wilczek. Mungbean is a native of South Asia (India). Vigna radiata var.
sublobata is the possible progenitor of mungbean. It is basically a self-
pollinated crop (Singh et al., 2015).
