Clusterbean commonly known as guar, has come to be recognized as one of the most important commercial crop of arid and semi-arid region. It is a drought hardy leguminous crop because of its deep tap rooting system and has high capacity to recover from water stress. The seed of clusterbean contains about 30-33% gum in the endosperm. The discovery of the galactomannan gum in the endosperm during 1948, led to this hitherto insignificant plant gaining importance as an industrial crop
