Abstract

Pulses form a major source of protein for a huge section of India particularly for the poor, backward classes and are an important part of the vegetarian diet. Vigna radiate, Vigna unguiculata, Vigna mungo, Vigna acontifolia, Vigna umbellate are some of the key dietary staples of millions of people of India and across Asia. The annual worldwide production of the species is very high and almost all of the production is in the developing countries. The productivity of pulses in India is low and thus to make the pulses production internationally competitive, the yields on an average need to be increased. In the present study, comparative analysis of few Vigna species was studied to get fast and efficient regeneration protocol. Effect of media, growth factors was studied and best suitable protocol was developed.
