Seventy eight genotypes of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] originated from Indian subcontinent were found genetically diverse for morphological characters, level of seed protein and anti-nutritional factors. Genotypes, like, IC103179 and ‘Kopergaon’ with high protein yield along with low content of trypsin inhibitor were screened. Potential parental combinations for hybridization programme, namely, ‘Kopergaon’ x TRCM-5-1, ‘Kopergaon’ x IC103993 were identified through D2 analysis for breeding high yielding genotypes with superior quality.
