cultivar susceptible to yellow mosaic virus (YMV), and Plm 1066, a tall erect
photosensitive line with horizontal resistance to YMV. PIMS 1 and PIMS 2 flower
after 35-40 days while PIMS 3 and PIMS 4 flower after 40-45 days. PIMS 1 and
PIMS 2 are shorter than the other two. All produce many pods per plant and show
synchronous maturity, delayed shattering and high tolerance of YMV during the
kharif season. In tests at five localities in the spring-summer and kharif
seasons, high yields of up to 2,000 kg/ha were obtained. [PBA 52-6148]

Heavy losses in grain yield may be caused by Ascochyta rabiei in chickpea
and yellow mosaic virus in mungbean. Genetic resistance against these diseases
is scanty in the germplasm screened so far. Eight local cultivars of mungbean
were irradiated with gamma rays. Screening against yellow mosaic virus was done
in M3 generation to recover recessive mutations. Out of 128 plant selections
made in M3 on the basis of their resistant behavior, six mutant lines were
confirmed. The moderately resistant mutant line 3854 has good yield potential.

Eighteen Phaseolus species were tested artificially for mungbean yellow
mosaic. Twelve species showed severe infection, and one had moderate infection.
Two showed mild infection and 2 species did not produce any symptoms. Crosses
between P. calcaratus and cultivated mungbean varieties Jawahar-45 and PIMS-3
were successful resulting Fl hybrids. [AS]

This review deals with the origin and interrelationship of blackgram and
mungbean, as well as symptoms, mode of transmission and host range of important
diseases, of the 2 crops, namely: mungbean yellow mosaic virus, leaf crinkle
virus, leaf curl virus, mosaic mottle virus, Cercospora leaf spot, powdery
mildew, root and stem rots, bacterial leaf spot and halo blight. The screening
for resistance, sources of resistance, including interspecific hybridization,
and induced mutations, as well as the genetics of resistance are treated along
with suggestions for future breeding strategies of these crops. [AS]
