Abstract:In Thailand, all Thai cultivated varieties of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] preferentially grown by farmers are susceptible to powdery mildew (PM) disease. Marker-assisted gene pyramiding (MAGP) for improving resistant varieties is sustainable strategy to overcome its outbreak in mungbean elds. In this study, two PM resistance genes from donor parent A2 were pyramided into Thai cultivated variety, namely Suranaree University of Technology 1 (SUT1) using markerassisted backcrossing (MAB). Three polym… Show more
