“…The content of phenols in black gram varieties ranged from 210.66 to 120.44 mg/g (Table 1). The results are in agreement with Singh and Singh (2020) who reported that the green gram varieties with starch content have higher index of susceptibility. Similar findings were also documented by and Deepika et al (2020).…”

Background: Pulses constitute a cornerstone of the Indian diet, renowned for their rich protein content and nutritional benefits, frequently dubbed as the vegetarian’s protein powerhouse. Black gram not only provides nutritional benefits but also improves soil properties and fixes atmospheric nitrogen. If left unattended in storage, damage inflicted by three species of callosobruchus viz., C. chinensis, C. maculatus and C. analis on black gram seeds could result in substantial losses, both in quantity and quality. In the context of insect resistance, a host genotype’s ability to resist insect pests is demonstrated through non-preference, antibiosis, or tolerance, and is closely linked to the morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of the germplasm. The present study aims to pin point the specific biochemical properties of black gram seeds that contribute to their resistance against the pulse beetle. Methods: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Entomology and Agriculture Zoology, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, BHU, Varanasi during 2020-21. Bioassay investigations were undertaken on twelve varieties of black gram, evaluating various parameters including oviposition, adult emergence, mean development period, growth index, susceptibility index, and the biochemical constituents that could potentially impact the proliferation of the pulse beetle population. Result: The results revealed that tannins and phenols played a significant role in providing resistance. In contrast varieties with high sugars and proteins are susceptible to pulse beetle. However, an increase in the level of phenols and tannins in seeds may interfere with consumer acceptance and these aspects can be used in the breeding programme so as to develop host plant resistance against C. maculatus.

“…According to Deepika et al (2020), the infestation in stored chickpea varieties is more with increase in the total soluble sugars and vice versa. Results are also in accordance with Kosini et al (2019) and Singh and Singh (2020).…”

“…The present findings are also in conformity with the findings of Rawat and Srivastava [ 63 ], who observed up to 88.40% seed infestation in different genotypes of mungbean. Usha et al [ 64 ] also observed 12.86 to 53.33% weight loss in mungbean genotypes after 90 days of insect release. The results of PCA biplot and cluster analysis supported our grouping of genotypes into different categories.…”

Pulses are a key source of dietary proteins in human nutrition. Despite several efforts to increase the production, various constraints, such as biotic and abiotic factors, threaten pulse production by various means. Bruchids (Callosobruchus spp.) are the serious issue of concern, particularly in storage conditions. Understanding host–plant resistance at morphological, biochemical and molecular levels is the best way to minimize yield losses. The 117 mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) genotypes, including endemic wild relatives, were screened for resistance against Callosobruchus chinensis; among them, two genotypes, PRR 2008-2 and PRR 2008-2-sel, which belong to V. umbellata (Thumb.), were identified as highly resistant. The expression of antioxidants in susceptible and resistant genotypes revealed that the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) was upregulated in the highly resistant wild Vigna species and lower in the cultivated susceptible genotypes, along with other biomarkers. Further, the SCoT-based genotyping revealed SCoT-30 (200 bp), SCoT-31 (1200 bp) and SCoT-32 (300 bp) as unique amplicons, which might be useful for developing the novel ricebean-based SCAR markers to accelerate the molecular breeding programme.

“…Somta et al (2008) also observed non-significant role of seed coat thickness on oviposition by pulse bruchid. Usha et al (2020) reported significant positive correlation between per cent seed damage, per cent weight loss and protein content, starch content, total soluble sugar content in mungbean. Similar to egg laying, adult emergence exhibited highly significant positive correlation with protein content (r = 0.751), sugar content (r = 0.781), electrical conductivity (r = 0.811) and moisture content (r = 0.813), while highly significant negative correlation was observed with 100 seed weight (r = -0.843) and phenol content (r = -0.905).…”

“…It contains 51% carbohydrates, 26% proteins, 4% minerals and 3% vitamins and sprouts arerich in vitamin-C and iron (Yadav et al, 1994). More than 70 % of the world's greengram production comes from India (Usha et al, 2020) the farmers and traders mostly store the pulses at least for few months before they sell it. Unfortunately, in storage, pulses suffer enormous losses due to bruchid attack, which infestation starts either in the field on the maturing pod and is carried to the stores with the harvested crops or it originates in the storage itself (Fletcher and Ghosh, 2002).The genus Calloso bruchus is capable of breeding on a wide variety of legumes and attacks the grain legumes during both pre and post harvest stages.…”

A study was conducted to know the influence of physical and biochemical parameters on development of the pulse bruchid in green gram at RARS, Lam during 2017-18. The physical parameters of seed viz., colour, shape, surface texture, seed length and width, seed coat hardness and 100 seed weight and biochemical parameters such as protein content, phenol content and total sugars were evaluated for twelve genotypes of greengram. The greengram genotypes with smooth texture, oblong or globose shape and light coloured seed might be less preferred by the pulse bruchid for egg laying. The data showed that genotypes having low sugar and protein contents and high phenol content were resistant to pulse bruchid. The correlation studies showed that biological parameters i.e., number of eggs, adult emergence and growth index had significant positive association with protein content, sugar content, moisture content and electrical conductivity and negative correlation phenol content, 100 seed weight and seed coat hardness. In contrast, mean development period had negative association with protein content, sugar content, electrical conductivity and moisture content and positive correlation with phenol content, 100 seed weight and seed coat hardness. Multiple linear regression studies revealed that all the physical and biochemical properties of seed together were contributing to a large and significant variation (65 to 87 %) in growth parameters of pulse bruchid.
