Breeding of Fen Mung Bean No.5 Under Both Water and Drought Conditions
Mung bean is a crop famous for drought resistance and barren resistance in the world.Most of the mung beans in China were planted in barren and mountainous areas.The mung bean varieties bred under adverse conditions showed excessive nutritional growth,weak reproductive growth and severe flower and pod drop during the flowering and pod period in areas with good fertilizer and water conditions,which resulting in a phenomenon of poor economic output.In order to breed a new variety of mung bean that can be used for both water and drought,the Mixed Bean Research Group of the Institute of Economic Crops,Shanxi Agricultural University conducted field identification on existing mung bean germplasm resources.Resources with strong resilience and good adaptability were selected for new combination configuration.In 2010,with Jilv 10 developed by Hebei Grain and Oil Institute as the female parent,and the domesticated'Black and Bright'mung bean germplasm resources from Jilin Province as the male parent,through sexual hybridization,the F4 targeted breeding was carried out through water and drought shuttle,so as to obtain a new variety Fen mung bean No.5.It was approved by Shanxi Provincial Quality Inspection Commission in August 2021.This va-riety was suitable for spring sowing in various regions of Shanxi(and at the same latitude)and summer sowing in central and southern China.
