Molecular and Biochemical Assessment of Genetic diversity in Mungbean

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) plays a vital role in the health and nutritional security of human beings. It belongs to leguminosae family and diploid chromosome number (2n=22) with 600 Mb genome size. Mung bean is one of the oldest sources of human food. It is grown in tropic and sub tropic regions of Asia Africa Central and Southern America parts of Southern Europe USA and India. This crop showed a high level of morphological diversity which results in confusion about its systematic and this diversity is at the level of genera species and cultivars. mungbean seeds also showed variation in color size and shape.
