The work entitled "Genetics of agro-morphological yield determinants in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilkzek)" is submitted by Chandra Mohan Singh to award the Ph. D. Degree with specialization in Plant Breeding and Genetics, Rajendra Agricultural University, Pusa - 848 125, Samastipur, Bihar. This work comprised of morphological characterization of mungbean genotypes, genetic variability parameters, correlation, regression, path analysis, multivariate analysis (genetic divergence) using three different methods i.e. Tochers' method, Non-Hierarchical Euclidean method & K-mean clustering method,...

The authors explained how various factors like aging, diet, socioeconomic status etc play important role in bringing about various physiological and biochemical changes in the body, which in turn disturb the genetic stability leading to malignancy. The current sample size being small could only be used as an indicator of the probable role of some of the major recognized risk factors causing the disease. The major chromosomal aberrations observed in the patients were similar to those reported in various tumor tissues and were indicative of the physiological stress of the tumor. Therefore,...
