Tandemly duplicated genes encoding polygalacturonase inhibitors are associated with bruchid (Callosobruchus chinensis) resistance in moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia).

Bruchids are stored-grain insect pests responsible for serious seed loss in legume crops. A previous study using an F population (F2OA) derived from a cross between wild moth-bean (Vigna aconitifolia [Jacq.] Maréchal) accession TN67 (resistant) and cultivated moth-bean accession ICPMO056 (susceptible) revealed that resistance to the azuki bean weevil (Callosobruchus chinensis L.

The First Genetic Linkage Map of Winged Bean [ (L.) DC.] and QTL Mapping for Flower-, Pod-, and Seed-Related Traits.

Winged bean [ (L.) DC.] (2n = 2× = 18) is a tropical legume crop with multipurpose usages.

A second VrPGIP1 allele is associated with bruchid resistance (Callosobruchus spp.) in wild mungbean (Vigna radiata var. sublobata) accession ACC41.

Two bruchid species, azuki bean weevil (Callosobruchus chinensis L.) and cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus F.), are the most important insect pests of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.

Novel Alleles of Two Tightly Linked Genes Encoding Polygalacturonase-Inhibiting Proteins (VrPGIP1 and VrPGIP2) Associated with the Locus That Confer Bruchid ( spp.) Resistance to Mungbean () Accession V2709.

Nearly all mungbean cultivars are completely susceptible to seed bruchids ( and ). Breeding bruchid-resistant mungbean is a major goal in mungbean breeding programs. Recently, we demonstrated in mungbean () accession V2802 that , which encodes a polygalacturonase inhibiting protein (PGIP), is the locus responsible for resistance to and .

Genetic diversity of the black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] gene pool as revealed by SSR markers.

In this study, 520 cultivated and 14 wild accessions of black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) were assessed for diversity using 22 SSR markers. Totally, 199 alleles were detected with a mean of 9.
