The inheritance of resistance to yellow mosaic virus was studied in mung-bean [V. radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The parents, ‘Tarai Local’ (resistant), ‘L-80’ (moderately resistant), ‘L 294–1’ and ‘LM-214’ (tolerant) and ‘Jawahar-45’ and ‘G-65’ (susceptible), their F1’s, F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially. The resistance was found to be under digenic control and recessive in all the crosses.
