TRIGONELLA GLABRA (LEGUMINOSAE): A NEW ADDITION TO TRIGONELLA GENETIC RESOURCES IN INDIA

扫码查看
The key to successful crop improvement program is a continued supply of genetic variability provided by wild relatives of cultivated species. A high degree of priority should be assigned to collect, precisely characterize and conserve wild relatives of crop plants both in the wild (in situ) and in gene banks (ex situ) because many of these are confined to specific locations while the natural habitats are being rapidly lost. The genus Trigonella L. (Leguminosae/Fabaceae: Faboideae : Trifolieae) contains annual or perennial plants distributed around the Mediterranean region (Dangi et al., 2016). The name of the genus is derived from the Latin word "Trigonus" i.e., three angled, in reference to the small triangular flowers (Dangi, 2013). As per literature survey, Trigonella genetic resources have not been explored fully from different region of the country, keeping in view the utilization of wild relatives in the improvement of widely cultivated T. foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek).
