| Experiment Title | Transcriptomics based molecular dissection of photoperiod responsive flowering in Indian bean (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet) | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Indian bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] is a very important short day pulse crop of South Gujarat especially the tribal area. The green pods along with green seeds of this crop are used as vegetable while dried seeds are used as split pulse. Though wide variability is present in South Gujarat region for this crop, it is not extensively studied. Most of the land races and cultivars of Indian bean are photoperiod sensitive and indeterminate which flower only during short day length of winter season making its cultivation difficult across the year. Photoperiod sensitive flowering also poses difficulties in germplasm conversion when breeder is interested to transfer valuable traits from sensitive types to insensitive ones. However, few determinate and photoperiod insensitive types are available which flowers across the year. Due to synchronous flowering and maturity, determinate growth habit and photoperiod insensitive flowering enables solitary cultivation as well as inter cropping especially in plantation crops almost throughout the year. Growth habit and photoperiod responsive flowering have played very important role in evolution and domestication of Indian bean, however, the actual genes and underlying mechanism have not been identified. Knowledge on molecular pathways governing them is completely absent in literature for Indian bean. Currently, transcriptome sequencing technology is widely used in the discovery of new genes and differential expression analysis to dissect complex molecular pathways. The present study aims to identify genes involved in photoperiod responsive flowering, which will provide a deep understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms. The findings of present study will provide an important reference for the molecular breeding of other pulse crops in relation to photoperiod responsive flowering. | ||
