InDel marker development and QTL analysis of agronomic traits in mung bean [Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek]
The stem color of young mung bean is a very useful tool in germplasm identification. Flowering time and plant height (PH) are known to be strongly correlated with crop adaption and yield. However, few studies ...
