INHERITANCE OF RESISTANCE TO MUNGBEAN YELLOW MOSAIC VIRUS

Abstract

                                The crosses involving susceptible cultivated lines of blackgram, Vigna mungo ('UL2' and 'RU2') and of greengram, V. radiata (T44' and 'K851') as female and one resistant line of V. mungo var. silvestris (IW 3390) and of V. radiata var. sublobata (PLN15) were made in glasshouse. The parents, F1 and F2 generations of the wide crosses were grown in kharif (wet) season. Both natural and artificial inoculation techniques were used to test the material against MYMV. The susceptibility was dominant and resistance was due to one dominant and one recessive genes.
