Abstract:
Studies of some biochemical parameters in wild Cajanus scarabaeoides was carried out and compared with Cajanus cajan as its cultivated relative. C. scarabaeoides is considered to have a potent source of genetic variation carrying genes for resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses and other morphological traits. Comparative analysis of biochemical parameters revealed distinct genomic diversity between the two species. Electrophoretic study of leaf isoperoxidases in two species of Cajanus indicated the presence of species specific variability in terms of relative mobility values of isozymes. Higher values of total amino acids, sugar and protein content in C. scarabaeoides also indicates ethnobotanical significance of the species as compared to widely cultivated C. cajan.
