Vigna is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some are former members of the genus Phaseolus.

The genus Vigna is a large pantropical genus with 82 described species distributed among 7 subgenera, namely Ceratotropis, Haydonia, Lasiospron, Macrorhyncha, Plectotropis, Sigmoidotropis and Vigna, and 150 species (Maréchal, Mascherpa, & Stainer, 1978; Tomooka, Vaughan, & Moss, 2002).

Currently, the genus Vigna is categorized into five subgenera, namely, Ceratotropis, Plectrotropis, Vigna, Haydonia, and Lasiospron, amongst which domesticated species are confined to only first three subgenera.

Jan 22, 2016 · The genus Vigna (Fabaceae) consists of five subgenera, and includes more than 100 wild species. In Vigna, 10 crops have been domesticated from three subgenera, Vigna, Plectrotropis, and Ceratotropis.

Jan 1, 2010 · The genus Vigna, with about 100 species, includes eight species domesticated in Africa and Asia; many other species in the genus are cultivated or gathered for various uses. The genus probably first evolved in Africa, based on the present day distribution of Vigna...

Nov 30, 2013 · Genus Vigna is now reduced to a monophyletic group including five reorganized subgenera: American subgenus Lasiospron, a subgenus Vigna reduced to yellow and blue-flowered species which includes Bambara groundnut, subgenus Haydonia, Asian subgenus Ceratotropis, and a subgenus Plectrotropis enlarged to all pink-flowered species.

Here, we present a genome database of the genus Vigna, Vigna Genome Server ('VigGS', http://viggs.dna.affrc.go.jp), based on the recently sequenced azuki bean genome, which incorporates annotated exon-intron structures, along with evidence for transcripts and proteins, visualized in GBrowse.

Vigna is divided into seven subgenera which are closely connected between themselves in sequences showing evolutionary treands. Emphasis is placed on the very homogeneous and specialized subgenus Ceratotropis of Asiatic origin.
