Abstract
Segregating populations were developed through induced mutations and hybridization using local and exotic mungbean genotypes to select mutants/recombinants tolerant to flowers shedding under high temperature. Entire segregating population showed flowers shedding under high temperature. But 242 recombinants/mutants were advanced to phenotypic uniformity following consecutive selection on the basis of new flowers production on the same raceme from where flowers were shed under high temperature. These recombinants/mutants were evaluated to rate the new flowers production on terminal raceme of the main stem at 90% pods maturity and to collect basic information about flowers shedding under high temperature. Out of 242 recombinants/mutants
