N. I. Vavilov’s scientific contributions

... Wilczek), a diploid (2n=22) self-pollinating species of the Leguminosae family, originated in the Indo-Burma region (Vavilov, 1935). This vital legume, cultivated primarily in South-East Asia, serves as a protein-rich food for vegetarians, offering superior digestibility and a nutrient-dense profile with 22-28% protein, 59-65% carbohydrates, and abundant iron and folate (Keatinge, et al., 2011). ...

... Therefore, it is essential to have superior parents who demonstrate high heritability and genetic advancement across a variety of traits for any yield enhancement initiative. The significance of genetic variability was initially recognized by Russian scientist" [6], who advised that a wide range of variability offers better opportunities for selecting desirable genotypes. ...
