Place of Origin: India Putative Parents V. trinerivus / V. sublobata or V.mungo var. sylvestris. The major limitations for genetic improvement of black gram include lack of suitable ideotypes for variable cropping systems, low harvest index, exposure to abiotic and biotic stresses and unavailability of quality seeds of improved varieties and lack of exploitable genetic variability. This is primarily due to the repeated use of only a few parents with a great degree of relatedness in crossing programs Wild species of vigna Breeding Objectives 1. Evolving medium duration high yielding varieties for dry land cultivation. CO5 black gram. Suitable for dry land cultivation. 2. Evolving short duration high yielding varieties suitable for irrigated conditions. This can be used as mixed crop in cotton, turmeric Short duration varieties are CO2, Vamban 1, 2 and 3. 3. Evolving short duration varieties suitable for rice follow condition e.g ADT 3. 4. Breeding Varieties Resistant to Diseases. YMV is a serious disease. Leaf crinkle virus, powdery mildew. VBN 1, Karaikal, BDN 1, VBN 2, VBN 3 - resistant to YMV. 5. Pest: White fly vector for YMV and leaf crinkle, leaf eating caterpillar 6. Breeding for Better Quality: 24% protein. There are lines having 27% protein. These can be utilised Quality of black gram is determined by a) Protein content, b) Methionine content 1.17%, c) cooking quality – Time, d) % of hard seeds. e) Dhall recovery 70% Floral Biology Blackgram belongs to leguminaceae and is highly self-pollinated. The extend of cross pollination is upto 5-10%. An auxiliary raceme that may be branched with clusters of 5-6 flowers on a short but later elongates peduncle. Flowers small, yellow and clustered at the top of the peduncle. Flowers bracteate, braceolate, pedicellate, bisexual, hypogynous, zygomorphic, complete, petamerous, gamosepalous, imbricate, corolla, papilionaceious. Keel petal sprially coiled. Stamen 10 (9+1) diadelphous, didynamous, ovary superior unilocular with few ovules. Flowers start opening early in the morning and are completely open between 7 to 8 a.m. The anthers begin to shed pollen in the previous day evening before the flowers open and anthesis is complete before mid-night. Self pollination is the rule. Ideal Plant Type For irrigated and rice fallows Determinate type, Short duration, High dry matter producing with 30cm plant ht. Photo insensitive, for rainfed condition. Semi determinate with pod setting from base of the main stem; Higher pod length and more number of seeds/pod. Breeding Methods 1. Introduction :e.g. T.9 from U.P. 2. Pure line Selection : Co3 - Alangudi local,Co5 - musiri local 3. Hybridization and Selection a) Intervarietial KM 2 (Derivative from T9 × L.64),TMV 1 - Derivative from Midhiulundu × KM1, ADT 4-29 × AD 2 × 6114,VBN 3 - LBG 402 × LBG 17. b) Inter Specific Vigna mungo × V.mungo var.sylvestris - Pant nagar. YMV resistant lines obtained. But pod shatters. More number of Back crosses suggested. Vigna mungo × V.radiata for increasing pod length, digestibility. Sterility is the main problem. Few plants obtained revert back to parental form. 4) Mutation Breeding Various approaches have been adopted for induced mutagenesis in Vigna mungo involving chemical and physical methods. Induced mutations were also found to be effective in creating genetic variability for quantitative traits . Studies on heritability, genetic variability and genetic advance of grain yield traits in V. mungo indicate the scope of improvement through selection Ex .Variety Co4 - derived from Co1 by EMS treatment 4) Mutation Breeding 5 Molecular Breeding
These molecular markers provide an indispensable tool to
develop genetic linkage maps and to tag agronomically- important traits for use in marker-assisted selection (MAS), collectively known as molecular breeding . This term is also used to include several novel strategies comprising genomic selection (GS), marker assisted recurrent selection (MARS), marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) and genome- wide selection (GWS) . MAS is regarded as a powerful methodology and novel strategy for genetic improvement of plants, and up to now widely used in multiple crop species QTL identified for Black gram. 6 Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineering is a proven and efficient approach to developing
cultivars with improved traits in a relatively short period of time. However, it is difficult to use black gram for in vitro culture and genetic transformation Recently, Kapildev et al. (2016) developed a much more efficient and improved method of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of recalcitrant black gram cv. T9 Although there are some success stories of Vigna mungo genetic engineering for improved traits , it is anticipated that further improvements in V. mungo stable genetic transformation may contribute significantly to enhance V. mungo abiotic/biotic stress resistance and nutrition. Cont.. Important Cultivars and Accessions of V. mungo Conclusions Most genetic linkage maps of Vigna species have been developed using interspecific and intersubspecific crosses. These maps have reduced utility in breeding programs for exploiting the genetic variation of the cultivated genepool. Limited genomic resources are the main hurdle in the improvement of Vigna mungo Nevertheless, there is a considerable lack of tools for genetic characterization or improvement of V. mungo i.e. mutagenesis, reverse genetics, stable and transient gene silencing or TILLING platforms. Alternative novel technologies of targeted mutagenesis and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9 system) could facilitate prompt improvements of this crop.
