Review on; Origin, Taxonomy, Cytology and Reason for Variation of Chromosome Number in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Agricultural Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.Moench)is one of the important vegetables grown in India during both summer and rainy seasons. This is an often cross-pollinated crop showing 4–19% cross pollinationandis a traditional vegetable crop with considerable area under cultivation in Africa and Asia with huge socio-economic potential in West and Central Africa. It has been called “a perfect villager’s vegetable” because of its robust nature, dietary fibers anddistinct seed protein balanced in both lysine and tryptophan amino acids (unlike the proteins of cereals and pulses) it provides. In Cultivated okra there is significant variation in the chromosome numbers and ploidy levels in cultivated Abelmoschu species.The chromosome number of this species has been variously reported as 2n = 56, 2n = 108, 2n = 108and 2n = 144; in a number of varieties as examined by various researchers, the chromosome number was invariably found to be 2n = 130.This present review describes a general overview of okra’s nutritional status, Origin, Taxonomy, Cytology and reason for variation of chromosome number in Okra.
