Abstract:
A total of nineteen morphological traits were studied on forty mungbean crosses during Summer-2021. All the crosses were grown in randomized complete block design with three replications. All the morphological traits were recorded as per crop DUS guideline. The maximum variability was noted in leaf vein colour, leaf colour, colour of petal, pod colour, pod curvature, seed lusture, seed shape, leaflet lobes and hypocotyl colouration. Low frequency was observed in leaf vein colour (15%) followed by seed colour (10%), leaflet lobes (10%), anthocyanin colouration (10%), seed colour (10%), seed size (7.5%) and stem colour (2.5%).Frequency distribution in these traits is very low and these traits are uniqe. On the basis of these traits germplasm can be identified very easily.
