Abstract

The promotion and consumption of indigenous vegetables can help to mitigate food insecurity and
alleviate malnutrition in developing countries like India. This study was carried out to assess the
nutritional quality among thirty diverse bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus resistance genotypes
and 19 nutritional traits were evaluated during the rainy season 2013. It was evident from the
results that the genotypes namely, USDO-2546, Punjab Padmini and Arka Abhay were found suitable
for utilizing in future breeding programme for developing variety with high nutritional quality.
Based on mean performance, mucilage content was found maximum in genotype Punjab Padamini
(5.73%) and least mucilage was recorded in genotype DOV-26 (3.35%). Genotypes Arka Abhay and
USDO-2546 recorded maximum dietary fibre content (0.09 g/g). However, DOV-12 and DOV-66,
which were having dark green pods, were most desirable genotypes from BYVMV resistance and
yield.
