“…Legumes, such as mung beans, are primarily cultivated as annual shrubs with a short growing season (Somta et al, 2022). They grow in a variety of soils comprising clay, sandy loam, and laterite with a precipitation of almost 750-900 mm per year (Mehandi et al, 2019).…”

“…Hence, important genes for mung bean domestication have been identified (Somta et al 2022). The Vigna genus is large, and several species have useful properties such as biotic stress tolerance that render them very interesting for a de novo domestication by selecting for mutants in known domestication genes, such as in the case of V. stipulacea (Takahashi et al 2022).…”

“…Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek), commonly referred to as Green gram is an ancient cultivated legume, native to Asia (Somta et al, 2022). Domestication of it took place more than 4,000 years ago in India (Somta et al, 2022). From India, mung bean was transferred to other Southern and Northern Asian regions .…”

“…From India, mung bean was transferred to other Southern and Northern Asian regions . In China, mung beans have been utilized for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medicine (Somta et al, 2022). Moreover, mung beans were introduced to Africa and the Middle East, where they quickly established themselves as a staple of regional cuisine.…”

“…As a result, numerous varieties with special features and qualities of its own have been produced (Hou et al, 2019). The first mung bean variety in India, 'Type 1', was introduced in 1936, using hybridization, and the first cultivar, 'Type 44', was developed in 1948 (Somta et al, 2022). Afterwards, between 1948Afterwards, between -1970, through local selection, many varieties such as CO1 and ADT1, G65, and Krishna were developed and released (Mehandi et al, 2019).…”

The genus Vigna comprises very ancient pulse crops originating from Africa and Asia. The complex history and domestication of this genus are just being unraveled by help of genome sequence information. Here, we review the utilization and promising improvement strategies for mung bean (Vigna radiata), which is among the major crops in this group. It is an important legume species that is widely cultivated and consumed in many parts of the world, particularly in Asia. This crop is known for its high nutritional value, drought tolerance, and short growth cycle, which makes it suitable for cultivation in various agro-ecological zones. Despite its importance, mung bean production is often curtailed by various biotic and abiotic factors which significantly limit its yield and quality. In recent years, there has been an increased research interest in mung bean, particularly in the areas of genetic improvement, agronomy, and post-harvest management. Advances in genomic tools, molecular breeding, and biotechnology have provided new opportunities for developing improved mung bean varieties with desirable traits such as high yield, disease resistance and enhanced nutritional quality. In this review, we discuss recent developments and findings on mung bean, with a focus on genetic improvement and agronomy. We highlight the importance of developing improved varieties that are adapted to specific agro-ecological zones and resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses. Overall, mung bean research is relevant for addressing the challenges in agricultural production and food security, particularly in the context of sustainable food production in changing climate.

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] is an agro‐economically important legume crop of Thailand. In recent years, mungbean has been gaining attention and popularity from consumers and industries for its dense nutrients. Although farmers, consumers, and processors prefer large‐seeded mungbeans, all mungbean cultivars available in Thailand are medium‐seeded. Therefore, a need was felt to develop new mungbean cultivars with large seed size that would fulfill the needs of farmers, consumers, and processors. In this study, we report the development of two new mungbean cultivars: ‘KUML4’ (Reg. no. CV‐354, PI 703288) and ‘KUML8’ (Reg. no. CV‐355, PI 703289). These cultivars were developed by pedigree and bulk‐selection methods. Standard yield trials revealed that KUML4 gave seed yields (SDY) of 1444.75 and 1316.38 kg ha−1, respectively, which was on par with check cultivars. The seed of KUML4 and KUML8 was larger than all of the check cultivars; their 100‐seed weights were 7.25 and 7.84 g, respectively, compared with 6.58 g, the mean of the check cultivars. Further, the genotype main effect plus genotype‐by‐environment analysis showed that KUML4 had good yield stability for its SDY. The yield trials under farmer fields and practices revealed that KUML4 gave SDY similar to the best check cultivar, ‘Chai Nat 3’ (CN3), whereas KUML8 gave a lower yield than CN3. The yield gap between the experimental research station and farmer field/practice was about 47%. In conclusion, KUML4 and KUML8 have shown high yield, large seed size, and early and uniform maturity.
