Three districts, viz., Nagaur, Jodhpur, and Pali, which together contribute more than 50% of the total area under mungbean in Rajasthan, were selected for the study. Time series data were collected from 2000- 01 to 2019-20 and to study the decadal performance, the entire period was bifurcated into two sub-periods: 2000-01 to 2009-10 (sub-period I) and 2010- 11 to 2019-20 (sub-period II). The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), Cuddy Della Valle Index (CDVI), and Decomposition Analysis Model were employed for analysis. Results revealed that the growth rate was positive for area, production, and productivity of mungbean at the state and district levels. The instability index was found to be greater than 30 in most of the cases, which indicates the high variations in area, production, and productivity of mungbean during the reported period. The sub-period II witnessed a comparatively higher positive growth rate accompanied by a lower instability index than the sub-period I. The study further revealed that the area effect was greater than the yield effect in most of the cases, which indicates its greater share in the increase in mungbean production at state and sampled district levels. With the observed positive growth rate in area and its contribution to change in production, the state has scope to increase the area coverage under mungbean, as 55% of the districts in Rajasthan have less than 1% of the total area under cultivation.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136373043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the characters under study except number of seeds per pod and pod length. The maximum PCV and GCV were observed for days to maturity and days to 50% flowering while the minimum for number of seeds per pods. Heritability in broad sense was high for days to 50% flowering followed by biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant whereas high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for days to 50% flowering followed by days to maturity. Characters namely days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, showed positive significant correlation with seed yield both at phenotypic and genotypic level. Harvest index, days to maturity, 100-seed weight, number of primary branches per plant and pod length highest exerted positive direct effect on seed yield per plant.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136374514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observations were recorded after 60 days of sowing. Significant phenotypic variability for root and shoot traits under controlled conditions and for agronomic traits under normal sown conditions was observed in the present investigation among the RILs. The genotype and environment interactions were significant for all studied traits in the present investigation. No or poor association of root traits was observed with agronomic conditions in the present investigation. Bulk segregant analysis with SNP markers showed association of 15 SNP markers with root traits. Thus phenotypic variability present in the present RIL population can be used for identifying the QTLs for root traits and their use in breeding programs for the development of drought tolerant cultivars.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136372724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Bioactive compounds of whole, dal, milling byproduct and fractions of milling byproduct of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)","authors":"","doi":"10.59797/jfl.v36.i1.133","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59797/jfl.v36.i1.133","url":null,"abstract":"Milling of pigeonpea is an essential process to improve culinary properties. Byproducts obtained from the milling have many bioactive components which can have significant favorable effects on human health. In commercial mills, pigeonpea dal recovery is about 70% against the potential dal recovery of 85%. As the seed coat is tightly attached to the cotyledons due to the presence of a gum layer in between. During abrasive dehusking, a commonly adopted method in commercial mills, about 15% of protein-rich peripheral cotyledons get mixed with seed coat. The milling byproduct thus obtained includes pulse proteins in the form of broken, powder of cotyledons, and phenol and antioxidant rich husk. The present study focuses on biochemical estimation of pigeonpea whole, dehusked splits (dal), milling byproduct, and fractions of milling byproduct. The husk and the broken fraction of milling byproduct (about 75% of the byproduct) are rich in phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, whereas the remaining cotyledon powder fraction is found to be rich in protein. These components were separated and analyzed for biochemical estimations. The results indicate that cotyledon powder separated from pigeonpea milling byproduct contains the highest protein (20.6%). Husk fraction of the byproduct is reported to have maximum total phenolic content (845.55 mg GAE/100g) and total antioxidant activity (59.68 m mole TE/100 g). Dehusked splits were observed to have the highest calorific value (386.17 kcal/100g). Till now, the milling byproduct is used as low-value cattle feed. Results of the biochemical studies reveal that protein, phenol and antioxidant-rich pigeonpea milling byproduct can be utilized for the development of value-added edible products and also find applications in therapeutic usage.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136373028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
