This study aims to enhance sustainable disease management in black gram by identifying varieties resistant to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV). We screened sixteen black gram genotypes, assessing physiological, biochemical and enzymatic basis. Results revealed a range of resistance levels, with PANT URD-19 showing the highest resistance (PDI 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Banana bunchy top disease (BBTV) is a rapidly spreading virus affecting banana cultivation in India, particularly in West Bengal, where a study identified extensive prevalence across 12 districts.* -
  • The research revealed that the BBTV isolates from West Bengal show a high similarity (84.90-99.86%) with global isolates and indicated close genetic relationships with isolates from Tripura, Manipur, Australia, and Africa.* -
  • Population genetics analysis suggests low nucleotide diversity but high haplotype diversity and gene flow, pointing to a recent expansion of BBTV populations in the Indian subcontinent, making it a significant area for understanding the virus.*
