Genetic variability for iron and zinc as well as antinutrients affecting bioavailability in black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper)

Abstract: The mineral content of pulses is generally high, but the bioavailability is poor due to the presence of phytate and polyphenols which inhibits Fe absorption. In the present study, the genetic variability and heritability for seed Fe and Zn content was studied. The effect of genotypes was significant for all the quality traits indicating presence of enough variability among the blackgram genotypes for the traits. The Fe content in 26 blackgram genotypes ranged from 71.02 to 100.20 ppm, whereas Zn content ranged… Show more

“…The genetic variability for content of the elements could be admitted as a desired trait of Sudanese wild sorghums. It has been reported that among the blackgram genotypes, the genetic variability showed significant factor on the variation of Zn and Fe bioavailability (Singh, Kanaujia, Srivastava, Dixit, & Singh, ). Therefore, it is imperative to raise greater awareness for breeders to study the nutritional status of diverse Sudanese wild sorghums in order to find genotypes with elevated grain micronutrient concentrations as the initial step for a breeding program.…”

“…Water (distilled and deionized; ddH 2 O) was purified by a Milli-Q Water System (Millipore, Milford, MA, USA) to a resistance of 18.2 MO.cm or greater (Nano-pure water). However, content of Fe and Zn in the seeds of lentil harvested in the year 2014 was estimated in triplicate grounded samples of grains by digestion with 9:4 diacid mixture (HNO 3 :-HClO 4 ) followed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) method using ECIL AAS (Perkin Elmer) as per the protocol (Zarcinas et al1987;Singh et al 2005).…”

“…The nutrient profile of lentils has been examined earlier in a number of studies, which showed lentil is a better whole food to meet the body requirement of essential micronutrients (Thavarajah et al 2011;Gupta et al 2013). The studies showed significant genetic variability among lentil germplasm for several micronutrients (Johnson et al 2013;Thavarajah et al 2009;Karakoy et al 2012;Singh et al 2017). Further, in staple crops, research focus has been made to breed micronutrient-dense cultivars to combat global micronutrient malnutrition (Jarup et al 2000;Ozer et al 2010).…”

“…Black gram, also known as black lentil, is a popular legume in the south-east Asian countries. It provides protein, carbohydrates, and several vitamins and minerals, and rich in lysine (Singh et al 2017). Black gram consumption is reported to be highly correlated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease; it is high in amylose starch making them a good source of probiotics resistant starch and helps to control blood glucose management by lowering the glycemic index (Berrios et al 2010).…”
