The mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV, Begomovirus vignaradiataindiaense) causes Yellow Mosaic Disease (YMD) in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.). The biochemical assays including total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ascorbic acid (AA), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) were used to study the mungbean plants defense response to MYMIV infection.

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is a major constraint for the low productivity of mungbean, mainly in South Asia. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive approach, integrating field and challenge inoculation evaluations to identify effective solutions. In this study, an infectious clone of Begomovirus vignaradiataindiaense (MYMIV) was developed to obtain a pure culture of the virus and to confirm resistance in mungbean plants exhibiting resistance under natural field conditions.

Developing early maturing lentil has the potential to minimize yield losses, mainly during terminal drought. Whole-genome resequencing (WGRS) based QTL-seq identified the loci governing earliness in lentil. The genetic analysis for maturity duration provided a good fit to 3:1 segregation (F), indicating earliness as a recessive trait.

Article Synopsis
  • Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) poses a significant challenge to mungbean production, and research on short-duration genotypes helps mitigate heat stress during summer crops.
  • A genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 132 mungbean genotypes identified 31,953 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the genome, uncovering genetic diversity and significant traits related to flowering time and disease resistance.
  • Candidate genes linked to various traits were identified, including those for YMD resistance and flowering time, providing insights for future marker-assisted breeding efforts to develop improved mungbean varieties.
