INTRODUCTION
Black gram (Vigna mungo L.)
Family: Fabaceae (Leguminosae)
Origin: India (Vavilov 1926)
• It is the third major pulse crop after chickpea and pigeon pea, cultivating in
almost all parts of Indian sub-continent (Balaji et al. 2004).
• Black gram is rich in protein (25-26%), carbohydrates (60%), fat (1.5%),
minerals, amino acids and vitamins (Karamany 2006).
• Being a legume crop it fixes 42 kg atmospheric nitrogen per ha in soil through
symbiotic relationship with Bradyrhizobium (Salam et al. 2009).

Gupta et al. 2021
S.N. Disease Pathogen
1 Yellow mosaic Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
2 Leaf crinkle Leaf crinkle virus
3 Anthracnose Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
4 Cercospora leaf spot Cercospora canescens
5 Root Rot Rhizoctonia solani
6 Powdery mildew Erysiphe polygoni
7 Rust Uromyces phaseoli
Taxonomy of YMVs- Genome: ssDNA
Family: Geminiviridae
Genus: Begomovirus
Typical symptoms of the disease :
Nariani (1960) reported that the first symptoms of YMD appeared as mild yellow specks or
spots on the young leaves.
 Older leaves posses irregular green and yellow patches while the younger leaves show
complete yellowing due to MYMV.
The complete yellowing reduces photosynthetic efficiency of plant which ultimately affecting
its yield (Malathi and John 2009).
Affected plants bear few pods that are smaller in size and deformed.
The seeds of such pods also show yellow spots on seed coat.
Yellow Mosaic Disease of Black gram
OBJECTIVES
1. Ecofriendly management of Yellow Mosaic Disease (YMD) in Black gram
2. Evaluation of Black gram varieties/germplasm against Yellow Mosaic Virus(es)
to find the source of resistance
3. To know the biochemical alterations in diseased and healthy plants after viral
infection
4. Molecular characterization of virus(es) associated with YMD of Black gram

Rationale for proposed investigation
 Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Bagomovirus of family Geminiviridae is an important disease
of pulse crops. It was first reported in Black gram by Williams et al. (1968).
 The four viruses viz., Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) , Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus
(MYMIV), Horse gram Yellow Mosaic Virus (HgYMV) and Dolichos Yellow Mosaic Virus (DoYMV)
have been reported to associated with yellow mosaic disease of pulse crops. These four viruses are
collectively known as yellow mosaic viruses (YMVs) (Qazi et al. 2007).
 In India, the MYMIV is predominant in northern, central and eastern regions (Usharani et al. 2004),
whereas, the MYMV is predominant in southern region. These viruses are causing severe yellow mosaic
infection in Black gram (Karthikeyan et al. 2004).
 Yield losses due to this disease in Black gram may be varied from 10-100 %, depending upon the crop
stage at which the crop get infected from the virus (Nainu and Murugan 2020).
 YMVs are transmitted through whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) in persistent and circulative manner as
reported by Nair and Nene (1974).

2. Evaluation of Black gram varieties/germplasm against Yellow mosaic Virus(es) to
find out the source of resistance
 Black gram varieties/ germplasm will be screened against YMV.
 Each test line will be planted in a paired row with 2 m length and one susceptible line will be planted after
five test lines as indicator line.
 Black gram yellow mosaic disease incidence will be recorded at weekly intervals.
 The percent disease index (PDI) will be computed on 10 randomly selected plants from each test line by
using the formula of Wheeler (1969).
Sum of all the numerical ratings
Percent disease index (PDI) = ------------------------------------------------------------------ x 100
Number of observations x Maximum disease rating
15
The percent disease incidence will be computed by using the formula given by Salam et al.
(2011)
Percent Disease Incidence = x 100
The disease rating scale (0-9) as suggested by AICRP on Kharif Pulses (2024-25) will
be used for disease scoring.
16
3. Study of biochemical alterations
The biochemical changes due to viral infection will be studied in healthy and
diseased plants.
Estimation will be done –
i. Chlorophyll and carotenoid (Hiscox and Israelstam 1997)
ii. Total soluble protein (Lowry et al.1951)
iii. Total phenol (Thimmaiah 1999)
17
4. Molecular confirmation of associated pathogen
Infected samples will be collected from the field during screening and
management experiment and stored in -20 deep freezer for DNA isolation.
℃
Isolation of DNA from leaf sample using CTAB method (Lodhi et al. 1994)
PCR amplification will be carried out using PALIc1960/PARIv722 (Rojas et al.
1993) as per Arvind and Abhishek (2021) followed by dispatch of sample for
sequencing
Preparation of contigs from forward and reverse sequence using Bioedit V 7.2
Sequence will be submitted to NCBI and bioinformatics analysis using
MEGA V 12.0 (Saitou and Nei 1987)
18
Expected outcomes:
Efficient ecofriendly management techniques of YMD may be find out.
Screening studies will facilitate the identification of disease-resistant traits within the
available germplasm.
Biochemical evaluation will help in understanding the resistant nature of cultivar in
depth.
The associated virus(es) with YMD of Black gram will be confirmed through
molecular approaches.
