Abstract

The F, generation of a single cross, China mung x TM 98-50, of mungbean was advanced to F, generation following biparental mating (BIP), single pod descent (SPD), bulk and single plant selection (SPS) methods. The biparental progenies exhibited higher mean performance with higher upper limits of the range in the desired direction for all the characters except plant height. High degree of genetic variation was exhibited by BIP progenies as compared to other progenies for most of the characters except plant height and pod length. The biparental progenies proved superior to SPD, bulk and SPS progenies in producing higher frequency of transgressive segregants. The utility of biparental mating in early segregating generations is emphasized in mungbean.
