A Low cost and high throughput spectroscopic method for quantification of seed coat colour differences in plain seeded bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm from Western Himalayan Kashmir
Abstract:Seed phenotyping is routinely done using visual assessment that suffers from subjectivity. In the present study we phenotyped 278 Western Himalayan bean accessions using a low cost spectroscopic method based on quantification of seed colour in terms of L*,a*,b* and δ E. There was substantial variation for L*, a*, b* and δ E parameters for all seven colour classes. The mean value for L* was lowest for red (31.31) and highest for white (78.17) and reverse in case of a*. Similarly, mean value for b* was lowest fo… Show more
