First Report of ' Phytoplasma asteris' (16SrI-B subgroup) associated with stunting and little leaves of guar ( L.) in the world.

Guar or cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) is a leguminous crop well-suited for cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. India accounts for 90% of world's guar production.

First Report of ' Phytoplasma citri' related strain (16SrII-C subgroup) associated with phyllody disease of cumin in India.

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.), is an important export-oriented seed spice crop for India. Cumin is popularly used for flavouring food, including soups, pickles and vegetables, and for herbal medicine.

First Report of Phytoplasma asteris (16SrI-B Subgroup) associated with phyllody disease of moth bean in world.

Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia), a drought and heat-resistant legume from the Fabaceae family, is commonly cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of the Indian subcontinent In September 2022, phyllody symptoms (Figure 1) were observed on 50-days-old moth bean plants at the ICAR-NBPGR research farm in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The disease incidence ranged from 10 to 25%. To investigate the cause, ten symptomatic VacoJod (1-10) and ten asymptomatic VacoJod (11-20) Vigna aconitifolia plants were collected.

Association mapping reveals novel genes and genomic regions controlling grain size architecture in mini core accessions of Indian National Genebank wheat germplasm collection.

Wheat (.) is a staple food crop for the global human population, and thus wheat breeders are consistently working to enhance its yield worldwide. In this study, we utilized a sub-set of Indian wheat mini core germplasm to underpin the genetic architecture for seed shape-associated traits.

First Report of Phytoplasma asteris (16SrI-B subgroup) associated with phyllody disease of fenugreek in the world.

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a leafy vegetable and spice crop, native to Indian subcontinent and Eastern Mediterranean region. Phytoplasma infection symptoms were observed in fenugreek at ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources Regional Station, Jodhpur and Agricultural Research Station Mandore Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The first appearance of phytoplasma suspected symptoms of little leaf was recorded after 50 days of sowing in the months of January 2022.
