“…Vigna mungo var. silvestris is reported to be immune to bruchids (Fujii et al 1989 ;Dongre et al 1996 ). Recently, rice bean ( V. umbellata ) is identifi ed as most useful because many accessions show complete resistance or immunity to the bruchids and it is a cultivated species; therefore, gene transfer from rice bean into mung bean and urd bean may be comparatively easier.…”

Although successful transfer of many desirable traits has been successfully accomplished in Vigna species from wild genetic resources, the actual release of new cultivars from distant crosses is scanty.…”

The genus Vigna comprises more than 200 species of which 7 are of tremendous agronomic importance. These are grown mainly in the warm temperate and tropical regions of the world. Valued for their grains with high and easily digestible proteins, these crops are also known as forage, green manure, and cover crops. Due to a short life cycle, these are suitable as catch crops and also fi t well in intercropping, mixed or relay cropping. For genetic improvement of cultivated vignas, mainly cultivated germplasm and exotic lines have been used so far. However, despite development of several improved cultivars in different Vigna crops, biotic and abiotic stresses still remain the major constraints in realizing their true yield potential. While plethora of genes conferring resistance/tolerance to these stresses have already been transferred from cultivated germplasm, wild genetic resources offer additional sources of useful alien variation which can be incorporated in cultivated Vigna through alien gene transfer. With better understanding of the processes behind pollen germination and pollen tube growth, fertilization, embryo and endosperm development and inheritance pattern, strategies have been developed to avoid pre-and post-fertilization barriers in successful distant hybridization leading to alien gene transfer. These include making reciprocal crosses, repeated pollination, hormonal treatment of fl ower buds, polyploidization, use of bridge species and most importantly, embryo rescue which have increased success rate of alien gene transfer in Vigna through sexual hybridization. Nevertheless, alien gene transfer through genetic transformation and use of molecular breeding tools still lag behind in Vigna and therefore need special attention. The signifi cant achievements made in different Vigna species in alien gene transfer and their utilization have been discussed in this chapter.

“…Nevertheless, a few cases of complete resistance were also reported in cultivated or germplasm collections of haricot bean [26][27][28], field pea [29,30], cowpea [31][32][33], black gram [34] and chickpea [13,35]. A number of reports indicate that varieties with improved yield are more susceptible than landraces [6,36].…”

Storage insect pests cause significant losses of food legumes particularly in the Tropics and the Sub-tropics. The most important species of storage insect pests of food legumes include Callosobruchus chinensis, C. maculatus, C. analis, Acanthoscelides obtectus, Bruchus incarnatus, B. rufimanus, B. dentipes, B. quinqueguttatus, B. emarginatus, B. ervi, B. lentis and B. pisorum. Effective post-harvest insect pest control measures should constitute part of the overall crop husbandry practices for preserving the quality of produce. Storage insect pests are commonly controlled using chemical insecticides which, however, bear many drawbacks related to high cost, environmental pollution and food safety risks. Breeding legume crops to improve their resistance against storage insect pests, although having technical limitations, is the best way of overcoming these disadvantages in an environment-friendly manner. In this paper, we present the findings of our extensive reviews on the potential of breeding resistant varieties of food OPEN ACCESS Sustainability 2011, 3 1400 legumes against storage insect pests along with the major technical limitations one would likely encounter and the prospective ways of tackling them.

“…), which reduces the weight and the germinative power of the seed (Dongre et al, 1996). Cowpea weevil infestation, which in some cases starts in pods while still in the field, reduces the weight of the seeds, thereby causing a decline of the nutritional value of the grains (Araújo et al, 1984;Barreto and Quinderé, 2000;Sousa et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT. The cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus Fabr.) is the most destructive pest of the cowpea bean; it reduces seed quality. To control this pest, resistance testing combined with genetic analysis using molecular markers has been widely applied in research. Among the markers that show reliable results, the inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) (microsatellites) are noteworthy. This study was performed to evaluate the resistance of 27 cultivars of cowpea bean to cowpea weevil. We tested the resistance related to the genetic variability of these cultivars using ISSR markers. To analyze the resistance of cultivars to weevil, a completely randomized test design with 4 replicates and 27 treatments was adopted. Five pairs of the insect were placed in 30 grains per replicate. Analysis of variance showed that the number of eggs and emerged insects were significantly different in the treatments, and the means were compared by statistical tests. The analysis of the large genetic variability in all cultivars resulted in the formation of different groups. The test of resistance showed that the cultivar Inhuma was the most sensitive to both number of eggs and number of emerged adults, while the TE96-290-12-G and MNC99-537-F4 (BRS Tumucumaque) cultivars were the least sensitive to the number of eggs and the number of emerged insects, respectively.
