Green revolution since the past few decades has increased the
production of daily used food crops. Foods that were rich in
protein and cheap in price were a demand for the poor living
in developing countries (Ali et al., 1997). In this regard, pulses
were found more versatile and appealing in providing protein
rich diets, easy cultivation, long time storage and low pric (
Thirumaran and Seralathan, 1988; Rachie and Robert, 1974
).
Mungbean (
Vigna radiata
) also called green gram is an impor-
tant summer-growing, pulse crop in Pakistan (
Ahmad et al.,
2003
). The unique and common feature of mungbean is the
root nodules that contain aerobic bacteria called rhizobia
which fix atmospheric nitrogen in the root and thus enhance
soil fertility ( Ashraf et al., 2003 ). As far as medical applications
are concerned mungbeans are used in the prevention of cancer
and are also known to exhibit antimicrobial and insecticidal activities ( Pookpakdi and Pataradilok, 1993 ).
