Vegetables are rich source of minerals, vitamins,
vegetable fiber and contain fair amount of carbohydrate
and protein (Singh et al. 2012). Vegetables contain high
amount of nutraceuticals which helps fight diseases,
hence called protective food. Over the last two decades
it has been observed that, there is a change and shift in
food habits of Indian population and consumption of
fruits and vegetables have been increased, but the
productivity of vegetables is 17.3 t/ha which is not
sufficient to meet projected requirement of producing
225 mt of vegetables by the year 2030 (Roy et al. 2016).
To increase productivity superior varieties of vegetables
are required which are resistant to disease pest and other
abiotic and biotic stresses and contain high nutritive
value. Conventionally cultivated and wild species of
vegetables are known to be good carrier of genes
responsible for disease-pest resistance, climate resilience
and enriched with high amount of nutraceuticals. But in
modern times farmers have stopped cultivating
conventional vegetable varieties as they yield less, even
many varieties have been extinguished.
