New mungbean study reveals key traits for higher seed yield.
The study looked at different traits in mungbean plants to see how they affect seed yield. They found that some traits, like plant height and total plant weight, have a strong impact on seed yield. Other traits, like pod length and 100-seed weight, don't have as much of an effect. The researchers also discovered that certain traits, such as pods per plant and harvest index, are positively linked to seed yield. This information can help breeders choose the best plants for higher seed yield in mungbeans.
