Investigation shows gamma irradiation enhances protein content and genetic improvement in Vigna mungo, indicating potential for sustainable farming.

Upregulation of the seed filling gene VmBS1 was observed in bold seed mutants after gamma irradiation.
Gamma irradiation at 600 Gy effectively induced various mutations, enhancing yield and seed weight in Vigna mungo.
Molecular analysis confirmed upregulation of the seed filling gene, correlating with increased protein and amino acid levels in seeds.
The findings support the use of gamma irradiation in developing new blackgram varieties with desirable agronomic traits.

Kasim et al. (2025) studied this question.
