An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol to generate stable transgenic lines of Black Gram (Vigna mungo)
Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2018Co-Authors: Bidyut Kumar Sarmah, Trishna Konwar, Borsha Borah, Arun Kumar Handique, Sumita AcharjeeAbstract:An efficient and quick in vitro regeneration protocol was developed for Black Gram (Vigna mungo) using wounded embryonic axis with cotyledon as explant. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.44 μM BAP and 2.32 μM Kinetin was found to be effective in producing maximum number (mean 7.80) of multiple shoots. The individual shoots elongated to 4.5 cm when MS medium was supplemented with 2.89 μM GA3 along with 0.44 μM BAP and 0.46 μM KIN. A novel in vitro rooting technique was also optimized for Black Gram using half-strength liquid MS medium supplemented with 1.34 μM NAA. The shoots in this medium produced the highest number (mean 7.50) of roots with root length of 6.02 cm. The plantlets were transferred to soil mixture and placed in greenhouse where more than 80% successfully grew to maturity. The same protocol was successfully used to generate transgenic Black Gram lines carrying Bt-Cry2Aa gene through Agrobacteriummediated transformation with a transformation efficiency of 0.42%. The rooted T0 plants grew to maturity and produced T1 seeds with the presence and expression of transgene in T1 plants. Thus, we have standardized an in vitro regeneration protocol suitable for generation of stable transgenic Black Gram plants.

bruchid egg induced transcript dynamics in developing seeds of Black Gram vigna mungo
PLOS ONE, 2017Co-Authors: Indrani K Baruah, Debashis Panda, Jagadale M, Sumita Acharjee, Bidyut Kumar SarmahAbstract:: Black Gram (Vigna mungo) seeds are a rich source of digestible proteins, however, during storage these seeds are severely damaged by bruchids (Callosobruchus spp.), reducing seed quality and yield losses. Most of the cultivated genotypes of Black Gram are susceptible to bruchids, however, few tolerant genotypes have also been identified but the mechanism of tolerance is poorly understood. We employed Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) to identify specifically, but rarely expressed bruchid egg induced genes in Black Gram. In this study, Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) library was constructed to study the genes involved in defense response in Black Gram against bruchid infestation. An EST library of 277 clones was obtained for further analyses. Based on CAP3 assembly, 134 unigenes were computationally annotated using Blast2GOPRO software. In all, 20 defense related genes were subject to quantitative PCR analysis (qPCR) out of which 12 genes showed up-regulation in developing seeds of the pods oviposited by bruchids. Few major defense genes like defensin, pathogenesis related protein (PR), lipoxygenase (LOX) showed high expression levels in the oviposited population when compared with the non-oviposited plants. This is the first report on defense related gene transcript dynamics during the bruchid-Black Gram interaction using SSH library. This library would be useful to clone defense related gene(s) such as defensin as represented in our library for crop improvement.

effect of different rhizobium strains on the growth attributes of Black Gram
Journal of Life and Earth Science, 2011Co-Authors: Sk Nitu, M M Uddeen, S A HaiderAbstract:Effects of three different Rhizobium strains on the growth attributes of two Black Gram varieties ( Vigna mungo L. Hepper) revealed differential varietal response due to inoculation with two types of Rhizobium strains. Treatment T 5 showed higher values compared to the rest of the treatments. Different growth parameters such as RGR, LAR, RLGR, LAD, LAI, SLA and LWR indicated better results with the inoculation of nodule organism. Key words : Growth attributes; Black Gram ; Vigna mungo; Rhizobium strains DOI: 10.3329/jles.v3i0.7438 J. Life Earth Sci., Vols. 3-4: 7-11, 2009

genetic diversity of the Black Gram vigna mungo l hepper gene pool as revealed by ssr markers
Breeding Science, 2015Co-Authors: Anochar Kaewwongwal, Alisa Kongjaimun, Prakit Somta, Sompong Chankaew, Tarikar Yimram, Peerasak SrinivesAbstract:In this study, 520 cultivated and 14 wild accessions of Black Gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) were assessed for diversity using 22 SSR markers. Totally, 199 alleles were detected with a mean of 9.05 alleles per locus. Wild Black Gram showed higher gene diversity than cultivated Black Gram. Gene diversity of cultivated accessions among regions was comparable, while allelic richness of South Asia was higher than that of other regions. 78.67% of the wild gene diversity presented in cultivated accessions, indicating that the domestication bottleneck effect in Black Gram is relatively low. Genetic distance analysis revealed that cultivated Black Gram was more closely related to wild Black Gram from South Asia than that from Southeast Asia. STRUCTURE, principal coordinate and neighbor-joining analyses consistently revealed that 534 Black Gram accessions were grouped into three major subpopulations. The analyses also revealed that cultivated Black Gram from South Asia was genetically distinct from that from West Asia. Comparison by SSR analysis with other closely related Vigna species, including mungbean, azuki bean, and rice bean, revealed that level of gene diversity of Black Gram is comparable to that of mungbean and rice bean but lower than that of azuki bean.

purification and characterization of Black Gram vigna mungo husk peroxidase
Journal of Molecular Catalysis B-enzymatic, 2009Co-Authors: C M AjilaAbstract:Abstract Black Gram is one of the important pulse crops in India and a variety of food products are made with its dhal (splits). During milling of Black Gram into dhal about 25% is a by-product. Currently, it is used as cattle feed or wasted and, therefore, it does not have any commercial value. In the present study, the milled by-product was fractionated into husk, germ, plumule and aleurone layer rich husk fractions. Few oxidative and hydrolytic enzyme activities such as peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, protease, amylase and xylanase were determined in these fractions. All the fractions exhibited more peroxidase activity compared to other enzyme activities and aleurone layer rich husk fraction showed maximum peroxidase activity (1155 × 10 3 units/g husk; 275 × 10 2 μmol/min/mg protein). Peroxidase is an important enzyme having a variety of applications in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and food processing. Peroxidase from aleurone layer rich husk fraction (BGHP) was purified using two steps, ion-exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration. The purity was determined from the high specific activity, purification fold (44), by the single peak obtained by HPLC and capillary electrophoresis, and a single band in native PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was found to be around 35 kDa. o -Dianisidine was found to be the good substrate for the enzyme compared to other hydrogen donor substrates. Dithiothretol and sodium azide were found to be non-competitive inhibitors for the enzyme. The K m value of the enzyme for hydrogen peroxide and o -dianisidine was found to be 43.5 mM and 4.7 mM, respectively. Optimum pH of the enzyme was 5.5. The half-life of the enzyme at 50 °C was found to be 5 h and 15 min. Black Gram husk, by-product of milling industry, is a rich source for a peroxidase.
