Novel and stable QTL regions conferring resistance to MYMV disease and its inheritance in blackgram ( (L.) Hepper).

Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) disease is a significant constraint for blackgram production. The present study employed a mapping population derived from a cross between susceptible (MDU 1) and resistant (TU 68) genotypes to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with MYMV disease resistance in addition to bruchine resistance loci identified from the previous study. Phenotyping was carried out in F2 generation under the disease spreader row method at field condition.
