Characterization data of NPGRL mung bean accessions (2008-2011)
This dataset contains characterization data of mung bean accessions conserved at NPGRL. NPGRL regenerates and characterizes germplasm aiming to provide morphological information to its plant breeding users. Characterization is performed on a project-basis manner, giving priority to accessions originally collected in the Philippines. The information here provided was obtained through characterizations conducted between 2008 and 2011.
