Abstract

Eight cross combinations from four mungbean accessions were studied up to the F2 to determine the mode of inheritance of need color, size and luster. Sees color was found monogenically inherited with green dominant to yellow. Two pairs of genes, complimentary in action, were observed to govern seed luster and dominance of dullness over glossiness was noted. Independence between seed color and luster was hypothesized. Seed size was observed to follow quantitative inheritance. It was also found independent of both seed color and seed luster.
