Initially, protein declined in its contents which subsequently increased in due
course of incubation. Reducing sugars increased considerably due to infestation
while starch showed a decreasing trend. Qualitatively glucose and fructose, two
hexose sugars, were spotted which exhibited an increasing tendency throughout
the incubation. Out of ten free and bound amino acids some disappeared while
others either increased or decreased. Succinic acid, Fumaric acid and Tartaric
acid were duly detected from the alcoholic fraction of the seed which showed
varying degree of concentrations during different incubation periods. [ASJ

A survey for seed-borne fungal diseases of mungbean was conducted in Uttar
Pradesh. The seeds collected from the diseased plants showed the presence of
Ascotricha chartarum, Colletotrichum truncatum and Fusarium oxysporum. All 3
fungi were pathogenic and produced leaf spots on mungbean veedlings. Symptoms
of the diseases are described. [THH]

Freshly harvested seeds of Vigna radiata and V. mungo were stored for one
year under the laboratory conditions to observe the presence and persistence of
the field fungi associated with the seeds. The paper lists the mycoflora
detected on the seed samples, which comprised about 31 fungi for mungbean and
29 for blackgram. Most of the field fungi persisted on the seeds for as long as
120 days of storage at a relative humidity (R.H.) between 45 and 78% and
temperature between 6.2 and 29.6 C. The maximum number of field fungi were
replaced by the storage mycoflora between 120 and 300 days of storage at R.H.
28.2 to 87.0% and temperature 8.00 to 39.40 C. After one year of storage, only
13 field fungi persisted on V. radiata and 12 on V. mungo seeds. [THH]

Cellulolytic, pectinolytic, amylolytic, and proteolytic enzymes were

A survey of the seed mycoflora of soybean and mungbean was undertaken. A
total of 34 cultLivars of soybean and 5 cultivars of mungbean were examined.
Among 36 species of fungi isolated from soybean, 13 were reported pathogens
