Mutation profiling through whole genome sequencing of electron beam-induced black gram ( L. Hepper) mutant.

Purpose: Black gram ( [L.] Hepper) is an important annual legume with great economic, nutritional and ecological significance. Novel variations through induced mutagenesis can accelerate narrow genetic base-impeded black gram improvement.

Gamma-rays induced genome wide stable mutations in cowpea deciphered through whole genome sequencing.

Purpose: Gamma rays are the most widely exploited physical mutagen in plant mutation breeding. They are known to be involved in the development of more than 60% of global cowpea ( (L.) Walp.

Draft genome sequence of the pulse crop blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] reveals potential R-genes.

Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] (2n = 2x = 22), an important Asiatic legume crop, is a major source of dietary protein for the predominantly vegetarian population. Here we construct a draft genome sequence of blackgram, for the first time, by employing hybrid genome assembly with Illumina reads and third generation Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology.
