Abstract

The inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) was studied in different generations of two crosses involving resistant (Pant U19 and Pant U26) and susceptible (LU286 and S4) parents. Susceptibility was observed to be dominant over resistance in both the crosses. The resistance was found to be under digenic control and recessive.
