Abstract

Spermoderm patterns studies using SEM of three species of Vigna i.e., Vigna radiata, Vigna aconitifolia, Vigna mungo and their 24 cultivars were studied. Each species had 8 cultivars. The general pattern of all the species showed many similarities and there are many similarities are seen between some cultivars but the variability among cultivars are considerable and may be of taxonomic and evolutionary significance
