Background: Nineteen mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] genotypes were assessed for molecular diversity using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Methods: A total of 26 SSR primer pairs were employed to evaluate genetic variation among the genotypes. The amplified products w...

Darwin’s early puzzlement about sterile castes helped catalyse inclusive-fitness theory and kin selection, providing a genetic framework for the evolution of helping behaviours. This review integrates theoretical models and empirical studies that apply inclusive-fitness logic to...

Greengram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an important pulse crop in India, but its productivity is severely constrained by Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV), a major biotic stress causing significant yield losses. The present study aimed to identify resistant sources among mungb...
