Role of Genomic tools for Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] improvement

Abstract

Molecular markers are routinely utilized worldwide in all major crops as a component of breeding. The pace of development of molecular markers, establishment of marker-trait associations for important agronomic traits and other genomic sources has been accelerated in other pulses than the mungbean. The efforts are underway to use high-throughput genotyping platforms besides developing more genomic resources. So far, progress in the use of marker-assisted selection as a part of mungbean breeding programmes has been very limited. In this article, we have reviewed the progress made, limitations encountered and future possibilities for the application of marker-assisted selection in the genetic improvement of mungbean crops.

Dynamical climatic model for time to flowering in Vigna radiata

“…Molecular markers are routinely utilized worldwide in all major crops as a component of breeding. The pace of development of molecular markers, establishment of marker-trait associations for important agronomic traits has been accelerated breeding in other pulses [10], but so far, progress in marker-assisted selection as a part of mungbean breeding programmes has been very limited [11].…”

Beans with Benefits—The Role of Mungbean (<i>Vigna radiate</i>) in a Changing Environment

“…The availability of the entire genome sequence and affordable high-performance genotyping tools, such as genotyping by sequencing facilitate mapping of breeder desired traits, and marker development for breeding [21] [22]. Genome-wide association genetics is clearing the way for mapping agronomically important traits, but the low funds put into minor crops, such as mungbean, limits the population size for phenotyping and ultimately confines these efforts mainly to simple oligogenic or monogenic traits, and mapping bi-parental populations.…”

Modeling of Flowering Time in Vigna radiata with Artificial Image Objects, Convolutional Neural Network and Random Forest

“…The progress in marker-assisted breeding has been limited for mung bean [ 6 ] though several studies have been carried out recently [ 7 ] with important agronomic traits [ 4 , 7 , 8 ]. International studies revealed that time to flowering in mung beans is influenced by genetic [ 9 ] and environmental factors [ 10 ] together with genotype-by-environment (G × E) interactions [ 11 , 12 ].…”
