Molecular characterization of mungbean yellow mosaic india virus infecting tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.)

Answer 1

The severe mosaic and mild leaf curl symptoms were observed on tomato crops in the agricultural farm at Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh, India. Based on typical viral symptoms and high populations of whiteflies in the field, the association of begomovirus was suspected. The identification of a bipartite begomovirus associated with the disease was performed by sequence analyses of their cloned full-length genome.
