Wild Mungbean Hybrids Boost Yield and Resist Biotic Stresses!
Researchers compared different types of hybrid mungbean plants to see which ones were best at resisting diseases and pests. They found that using wild species in the crosses improved resistance to diseases like MYMV and bruchids, while only intra-specific crosses increased the yield of the plants. This shows that using wild species in breeding programs can be very effective for developing mungbean varieties with better disease resistance.
