Insight into floral biology and ancillary characteristics of underutilized legume-Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.]

Abstract: The present study floral biology and ancillary characteristics of Bambara groundnut used SB-42, Uniswa Red, S-165-A, S-193 and nine isolated gamma irradiated stabilized mutants of SB-42 for this investigation. Mutant 11 produced significantly maximum number of pods per plant (46.05 g/ plant) and seed yield per plant (28.96 g/plant), compared to control SB-42 (40.85 g/plant, 20.54 g/plant) respectively. Results obtained from flower biology studies were, Inflorescence-Simple Racemes, Flower-Bracteates, Zygomorph… Show more

“…Bambara groundnut is basically cultivated for domestic use and is at times referred as "complete food" as it contains adequate macronutrients [1]. Te crop contains 6.5% fat, 5.5% fber, 64.4% carbohydrate, and 23.6% protein and appreciable levels of several minerals including Ca (360 mg), Na (75.25 mg), Fe (3.6 mg), and K (1723.25 mg) per 100 g of dry sample weight [12]. In developing countries, there is habitual consumption of carbohydrate-based diets by large proportion of population because of scarcity of afordable vitamins, minerals, and protein-based food [5].…”

“…Nutritional analysis shows that 100 g of dry seeds of Bambara groundnut contains 61-69% carbohydrates, 17-27% protein, 3.3-6.4% fiber, and 3.6-7.4% fat (Ijarotimi & Esho, 2009;Murevanhema & Jideani, 2013;Oyeyinka et al, 2018). Bambara groundnut serves as an essential source of protein in the diets of a large percentage of the population in Africa (Chandra et al, 2019).…”

“…Pulses are extensively grown in tropical regions of the world as a major protein rich crop bringing considerable improvement in human diet and play an important role for alleviation of malnutrition particularly from developing African and Asian countries (Chandra et al, 2019a). Average protein content in the pulse seed is around 24 per cent .…”
