ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR
20F20R developed from OPQ1 RARD primer linked to YMV disease
Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified
Bhupender Kumar et al (2014) Genetic diversity panel of the 96 soybean genotypes
was analyzed with 121 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of which 97 were
polymorphic (8016 polymorphism) Total of 286 normal and 90 rare alleles were detected
with a mean of 236 and 074 alleles per locus respectively
Gupta et al (2013) studied molecular tagging of MYMIV resistance gene in
blackgram by using 61 SSR markers 31 were found polymorphic between the parents
Marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked
segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by
designing primers from sequenced putatively species-specific RAPD bands
Souframanien and Gopalakrishna (2006) developed ISSR and SCAR markers linked
to the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram
Milla et al (2005) converted two RAPD markers flanking an introgressed QTL
influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes
Sunita singh et al (2012) studied genetic diversity analysis in mungbean among 87
genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers
Piyada Tantasawatet et al (2010) for variety identification and estimation of genetic
relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean
(Vigna radiata 2N=22) In mungbean there were four unlinked genomic regions accounting
for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified
RFLP mapping of a major bruchid resistance gene in mungbean (Vigna radiata L Wilczek)

cross between TC1966 and a susceptible mungbean cultivar were analyzed with 153 RFLP
markers Resistance mapped to a single locus on linkage group VIII approximately 36 cM
from the nearest RFLP marker
Mapping oligogenic resistance to powdery mildew in mungbean with RFLPs was done by
Young et al (1993) A total of three genomic regions were found to have an effect on
powdery mildew response together explaining 58 per cent of the total variation

mungbean by using both restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and amplified
fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) The RFLP loci detected by two of the cloned AFLP
bands were associated with resistance and constituted a new linkage group A major
resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

major locus conferring resistance to the causal organism of powdery mildew Erysiphe
polygoni DC in mungbean (Vigna radiata L Wilczek) was identified by using QTL
analysis A single locus was identified that explained up to a maximum of 86 of the total
variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

identified in the field within a large population of the susceptible cultivar T-9 were crossed
with T-9 and F1 F2 and F3 progenies are raised Of 24 pairs of resistance gene analog (RGA)
primers screened only one pair RGA 1F-CGRGA 1R was found to be polymorphic among
the parents was found to be linked with YMV-reaction
Miyagi et al (2004) reported the construction of the first mungbean (Vigna radiata L
Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance
Humphry et al (2005) Relationships between hard-seededness and seed weight in
mungbean (Vigna radiata) was assessed by QTL analysis revealed four loci for hard-
seediness and 11 loci for seed weight
Selvi et al (2006) Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify RAPD marker
linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with
putative marker OPS 7900 only revealed polymorphism in all 8 resistant and 6 susceptible
plants indicating this marker was associated with MYMV resistance in Ml 267
Chen et al (2007) developed molecular mapping for bruchid resistance (Br) gene in
TC1966 through bulked segregant analysis (BSA) ten randomly amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) markers associated with the bruchid resistance gene were successfully
identified A total of four closely linked RAPDs were cloned and transformed into sequence
characterized amplified region (SCAR) and cleaved amplified polymorphism (CAP) markers
Isemura et al (2007) Using SSR marker detected the QTLs for seed pod stem and
leaf-related trait Several traits such as pod dehiscence were controlled by single genes but
most traits were controlled by between two and nine QTLs
Prakit Somta et al ( 2008) Conducted Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for
resistance to C chinensis (L) and C maculatus (F) was conducted using F2 (V nepalensis
amp V angularis) and BC1F1 [(V nepalensis amp V angularis) amp V angularis] populations
derived from crosses between the bruchid resistant species V nepalensis and bruchid
susceptible species V angularis In this study they reported that seven QTLs were detected
for bruchid resistance five QTLs for resistance to C chinensis and two QTLs for resistance
to C maculatus

EST-SSR markers from mungbean and its related species and all these markers were mapped
onto 11 linkage groups spanning a total of 7276 cM
Kajonphol et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean with a mapping
population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was

other crops using bulk segregant analysis

resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers

away from the locus governing resistance to leaf blight which was considered to be closely
linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

experiments revealed that the Rps8 gene maps closely to the disease resistance gene-rich
Rps3 region

to be linked with the locus (named as Br2)
Silva et al (2008) the mapping populations were screened with SSR markers using
the bulk segregate analysis (BSA) to reported four distinct genes (Rpp1 Rpp2 Rpp3 and
Rpp4) that conferred resistance to Asian rust in soybean and expedite the identification of
linked markers

Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods to analyze the F2 individuals of 82-3041 times Yunyan 84 to
screen and characterize the molecular marker linked to brown-spot resistant gene in tobacco
Primer S361 producing one RAPD marker S361650 tightly linked to the brown-spot
resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate
region identified with BSA
Anuradha et al (2011) first report on mapping of QTL for BGM resistance in
chickpea consisting of 144 markers assigned on 11 linkage groups was constructed from

Vikram et al (2013) The BSA approach successfully detected consistent effect
drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)

2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense

3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41
412 Phenotyping of F2 Segregating Population
A total of 125 F2 plants along with parents used for the standard disease screening Standard
disease screening methodology was conducted in F1 and F2 population evaluated for MYMV
resistance along with parents under field conditions as mentioned in materials and method

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material

Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance

polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was

were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids

SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele

cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes

were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5

disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used

reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black

screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)

linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)

validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram

27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

Equipments and chemicals used for the study are mentioned in the appendix I and
appendix II
32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean
n
1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n
1 sum(Yi-Y)2
Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10
Moderate 10-20
High More than 20
34 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM
341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and
cycles mentioned below in tables 32 and 33

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along

remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR
20F20R developed from OPQ1 RARD primer linked to YMV disease
Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified
Bhupender Kumar et al (2014) Genetic diversity panel of the 96 soybean genotypes
was analyzed with 121 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of which 97 were
polymorphic (8016 polymorphism) Total of 286 normal and 90 rare alleles were detected
with a mean of 236 and 074 alleles per locus respectively
Gupta et al (2013) studied molecular tagging of MYMIV resistance gene in
blackgram by using 61 SSR markers 31 were found polymorphic between the parents
Marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked
segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by
designing primers from sequenced putatively species-specific RAPD bands
Souframanien and Gopalakrishna (2006) developed ISSR and SCAR markers linked
to the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram
Milla et al (2005) converted two RAPD markers flanking an introgressed QTL
influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)

2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association

resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance

mungbean (Vigna radiata) was assessed by QTL analysis revealed four loci for hard-
seediness and 11 loci for seed weight

linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with
putative marker OPS 7900 only revealed polymorphism in all 8 resistant and 6 susceptible
plants indicating this marker was associated with MYMV resistance in Ml 267

linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was

other crops using bulk segregant analysis

resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers

linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

Rps3 region

resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate

drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)

Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance

3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions

for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41
412 Phenotyping of F2 Segregating Population
A total of 125 F2 plants along with parents used for the standard disease screening Standard
disease screening methodology was conducted in F1 and F2 population evaluated for MYMV
resistance along with parents under field conditions as mentioned in materials and method

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material

Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance

polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was

were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids

SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele

cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes

were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5

disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used

reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black

screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)

linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)

validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram

27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

Equipments and chemicals used for the study are mentioned in the appendix I and
appendix II
32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean
n
1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n
1 sum(Yi-Y)2
Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10
Moderate 10-20
High More than 20
34 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM
341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and
cycles mentioned below in tables 32 and 33

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along

remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR
20F20R developed from OPQ1 RARD primer linked to YMV disease
Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified
Bhupender Kumar et al (2014) Genetic diversity panel of the 96 soybean genotypes
was analyzed with 121 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of which 97 were
polymorphic (8016 polymorphism) Total of 286 normal and 90 rare alleles were detected
with a mean of 236 and 074 alleles per locus respectively
Gupta et al (2013) studied molecular tagging of MYMIV resistance gene in
blackgram by using 61 SSR markers 31 were found polymorphic between the parents
Marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked
segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by
designing primers from sequenced putatively species-specific RAPD bands
Souframanien and Gopalakrishna (2006) developed ISSR and SCAR markers linked
to the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram
Milla et al (2005) converted two RAPD markers flanking an introgressed QTL
influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes
Sunita singh et al (2012) studied genetic diversity analysis in mungbean among 87
genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers
Piyada Tantasawatet et al (2010) for variety identification and estimation of genetic
relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean
(Vigna radiata 2N=22) In mungbean there were four unlinked genomic regions accounting
for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified
RFLP mapping of a major bruchid resistance gene in mungbean (Vigna radiata L Wilczek)

cross between TC1966 and a susceptible mungbean cultivar were analyzed with 153 RFLP
markers Resistance mapped to a single locus on linkage group VIII approximately 36 cM
from the nearest RFLP marker
Mapping oligogenic resistance to powdery mildew in mungbean with RFLPs was done by
Young et al (1993) A total of three genomic regions were found to have an effect on
powdery mildew response together explaining 58 per cent of the total variation

mungbean by using both restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and amplified
fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) The RFLP loci detected by two of the cloned AFLP
bands were associated with resistance and constituted a new linkage group A major
resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

major locus conferring resistance to the causal organism of powdery mildew Erysiphe
polygoni DC in mungbean (Vigna radiata L Wilczek) was identified by using QTL
analysis A single locus was identified that explained up to a maximum of 86 of the total
variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

identified in the field within a large population of the susceptible cultivar T-9 were crossed
with T-9 and F1 F2 and F3 progenies are raised Of 24 pairs of resistance gene analog (RGA)
primers screened only one pair RGA 1F-CGRGA 1R was found to be polymorphic among
the parents was found to be linked with YMV-reaction
Miyagi et al (2004) reported the construction of the first mungbean (Vigna radiata L
Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance
Humphry et al (2005) Relationships between hard-seededness and seed weight in
mungbean (Vigna radiata) was assessed by QTL analysis revealed four loci for hard-
seediness and 11 loci for seed weight
Selvi et al (2006) Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify RAPD marker
linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with
putative marker OPS 7900 only revealed polymorphism in all 8 resistant and 6 susceptible
plants indicating this marker was associated with MYMV resistance in Ml 267
Chen et al (2007) developed molecular mapping for bruchid resistance (Br) gene in
TC1966 through bulked segregant analysis (BSA) ten randomly amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) markers associated with the bruchid resistance gene were successfully
identified A total of four closely linked RAPDs were cloned and transformed into sequence
characterized amplified region (SCAR) and cleaved amplified polymorphism (CAP) markers
Isemura et al (2007) Using SSR marker detected the QTLs for seed pod stem and
leaf-related trait Several traits such as pod dehiscence were controlled by single genes but
most traits were controlled by between two and nine QTLs
Prakit Somta et al ( 2008) Conducted Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for
resistance to C chinensis (L) and C maculatus (F) was conducted using F2 (V nepalensis
amp V angularis) and BC1F1 [(V nepalensis amp V angularis) amp V angularis] populations
derived from crosses between the bruchid resistant species V nepalensis and bruchid
susceptible species V angularis In this study they reported that seven QTLs were detected
for bruchid resistance five QTLs for resistance to C chinensis and two QTLs for resistance
to C maculatus

EST-SSR markers from mungbean and its related species and all these markers were mapped
onto 11 linkage groups spanning a total of 7276 cM
Kajonphol et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean with a mapping
population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was

other crops using bulk segregant analysis

resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers

away from the locus governing resistance to leaf blight which was considered to be closely
linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

experiments revealed that the Rps8 gene maps closely to the disease resistance gene-rich
Rps3 region

to be linked with the locus (named as Br2)
Silva et al (2008) the mapping populations were screened with SSR markers using
the bulk segregate analysis (BSA) to reported four distinct genes (Rpp1 Rpp2 Rpp3 and
Rpp4) that conferred resistance to Asian rust in soybean and expedite the identification of
linked markers

Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods to analyze the F2 individuals of 82-3041 times Yunyan 84 to
screen and characterize the molecular marker linked to brown-spot resistant gene in tobacco
Primer S361 producing one RAPD marker S361650 tightly linked to the brown-spot
resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate
region identified with BSA
Anuradha et al (2011) first report on mapping of QTL for BGM resistance in
chickpea consisting of 144 markers assigned on 11 linkage groups was constructed from

Vikram et al (2013) The BSA approach successfully detected consistent effect
drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)

2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense

3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41
412 Phenotyping of F2 Segregating Population
A total of 125 F2 plants along with parents used for the standard disease screening Standard
disease screening methodology was conducted in F1 and F2 population evaluated for MYMV
resistance along with parents under field conditions as mentioned in materials and method

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material

(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean

RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified

SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele

Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes

radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5

disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by

influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black

bean genotypes

relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand

screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean
(Vigna radiata 2N=22) In mungbean there were four unlinked genomic regions accounting
for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified

resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance

mungbean (Vigna radiata) was assessed by QTL analysis revealed four loci for hard-
seediness and 11 loci for seed weight
Selvi et al (2006) Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify RAPD marker
linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with

population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)

in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was

linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

Rps3 region

to be linked with the locus (named as Br2)
Silva et al (2008) the mapping populations were screened with SSR markers using
the bulk segregate analysis (BSA) to reported four distinct genes (Rpp1 Rpp2 Rpp3 and
Rpp4) that conferred resistance to Asian rust in soybean and expedite the identification of
linked markers

Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods to analyze the F2 individuals of 82-3041 times Yunyan 84 to
screen and characterize the molecular marker linked to brown-spot resistant gene in tobacco
Primer S361 producing one RAPD marker S361650 tightly linked to the brown-spot
resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate
region identified with BSA
Anuradha et al (2011) first report on mapping of QTL for BGM resistance in
chickpea consisting of 144 markers assigned on 11 linkage groups was constructed from

Vikram et al (2013) The BSA approach successfully detected consistent effect
drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean
n
1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n
1 sum(Yi-Y)2
Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10
Moderate 10-20
High More than 20

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and
cycles mentioned below in tables 32 and 33

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that

showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along

remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR

Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified

at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes

influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes
Sunita singh et al (2012) studied genetic diversity analysis in mungbean among 87
genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers

relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean
(Vigna radiata 2N=22) In mungbean there were four unlinked genomic regions accounting
for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified

restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers Fifty-eight F 2 progeny from a
cross between TC1966 and a susceptible mungbean cultivar were analyzed with 153 RFLP
markers Resistance mapped to a single locus on linkage group VIII approximately 36 cM
from the nearest RFLP marker

resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

most traits were controlled by between two and nine QTLs
Prakit Somta et al ( 2008) Conducted Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for
resistance to C chinensis (L) and C maculatus (F) was conducted using F2 (V nepalensis
amp V angularis) and BC1F1 [(V nepalensis amp V angularis) amp V angularis] populations
derived from crosses between the bruchid resistant species V nepalensis and bruchid
susceptible species V angularis In this study they reported that seven QTLs were detected
for bruchid resistance five QTLs for resistance to C chinensis and two QTLs for resistance
to C maculatus
Saxena et al (2009) identified the ISSR marker for resistance to Yellow Mosaic Virus
in Soybean (Glycine max L Merrill) with the cross JS-335 times UPSM-534 The primer 50 SS
was useful to find out the gene resistant to YMV in soybean
Isemura et al (2012) constructed the first genetic linkage map using 430 SSR and
EST-SSR markers from mungbean and its related species and all these markers were mapped
onto 11 linkage groups spanning a total of 7276 cM
Kajonphol et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean with a mapping
population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene
Selvi et al (2006) in these studies a F2 population from cross between resistant
mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was
identified that RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean
262 Molecular markers associated with various disease resistances in
other crops using bulk segregant analysis
Che et al (2003) identified five molecular markers link with the sheath blight
resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers
Mittal et al (2005) identified one SSR primer Xtxp 309 for leaf blight disease
resistance through bulk segregant analysis and linkage map showed a distance of 312 cM
away from the locus governing resistance to leaf blight which was considered to be closely
linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight
Sandhu et al (2005) Bulk segregate analysis was conducted for the identification of
SSR markers that are tightly linked to Rps8 phytophthora resistance gene in soybean
Subsequently bulk segregate analysis of the whole soybean genome and mapping
experiments revealed that the Rps8 gene maps closely to the disease resistance gene-rich
Rps3 region
Malik et al (2007) used PCR technique and bulk segregate analysis to identify DNA
marker linked to leaf rust resistant gene in F2 segregating population in wheat The primer 60-
5 amplified polymorphic molecules of 1100 base pairs from the genomic DNA of resistant
plant
Lei et al (2008) by using 63 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers and 113
sets of SSRSTS primers reported molecular markers associated with resistance to bruchids in
mungbean in bulk segregate analysis Two of the markers OPC-06 and STSbr2 were found
to be linked with the locus (named as Br2)
Silva et al (2008) the mapping populations were screened with SSR markers using
the bulk segregate analysis (BSA) to reported four distinct genes (Rpp1 Rpp2 Rpp3 and
Rpp4) that conferred resistance to Asian rust in soybean and expedite the identification of
linked markers
Zhang et al (2008) used Bulk Segregate Analysis (BSA) and Randomly Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods to analyze the F2 individuals of 82-3041 times Yunyan 84 to
screen and characterize the molecular marker linked to brown-spot resistant gene in tobacco
Primer S361 producing one RAPD marker S361650 tightly linked to the brown-spot
resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate
region identified with BSA
Anuradha et al (2011) first report on mapping of QTL for BGM resistance in
chickpea consisting of 144 markers assigned on 11 linkage groups was constructed from
RILs of a cross ICCV 2 X JG 62 map obtained was 4428 cM Three quantitative trait loci
(QTL) which together accounted for 436 of the variation for BGM resistance were
identified and mapped on two linkage groups
Shoba et al (2012) through bulk segregant analysis identified the SSR primer PM
384100 allele for late leaf spot disease resistance in groundnut PM 384100 was able to
distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for Late Leaf Spot (LLS)
Priya et al (2013) Linkage analysis was carried out in mungbean using RAPD marker

results demonstrated that the genetic distance between OPA-13420 and powdery mildew
resistant gene was 583 cM
Vikram et al (2013) The BSA approach successfully detected consistent effect
drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually

DISEASE RESISTANCE
411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR
20F20R developed from OPQ1 RARD primer linked to YMV disease
Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified
Bhupender Kumar et al (2014) Genetic diversity panel of the 96 soybean genotypes
was analyzed with 121 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of which 97 were
polymorphic (8016 polymorphism) Total of 286 normal and 90 rare alleles were detected
with a mean of 236 and 074 alleles per locus respectively
Gupta et al (2013) studied molecular tagging of MYMIV resistance gene in
blackgram by using 61 SSR markers 31 were found polymorphic between the parents
Marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked
segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes

designing primers from sequenced putatively species-specific RAPD bands

to the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram

influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes

genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers

relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)

for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified

resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

the parents was found to be linked with YMV-reaction

Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance

linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with

linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was

in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

Rps3 region

resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate

drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)

tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

The results obtained in the present study are presented and discussed here under

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc

Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material

Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance

polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was

were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids

SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele

cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes

were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5

disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean

Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker

reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black

screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)

linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)

validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram

27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

Equipments and chemicals used for the study are mentioned in the appendix I and
appendix II
32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean
n
1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n
1 sum(Yi-Y)2
Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10
Moderate 10-20
High More than 20
34 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM
341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and
cycles mentioned below in tables 32 and 33

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along

remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR

Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified

segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by

influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes
Sunita singh et al (2012) studied genetic diversity analysis in mungbean among 87
genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers

relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean
(Vigna radiata 2N=22) In mungbean there were four unlinked genomic regions accounting
for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified

restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers Fifty-eight F 2 progeny from a
cross between TC1966 and a susceptible mungbean cultivar were analyzed with 153 RFLP
markers Resistance mapped to a single locus on linkage group VIII approximately 36 cM
from the nearest RFLP marker

resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

Prakit Somta et al ( 2008) Conducted Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for
resistance to C chinensis (L) and C maculatus (F) was conducted using F2 (V nepalensis
amp V angularis) and BC1F1 [(V nepalensis amp V angularis) amp V angularis] populations
derived from crosses between the bruchid resistant species V nepalensis and bruchid
susceptible species V angularis In this study they reported that seven QTLs were detected
for bruchid resistance five QTLs for resistance to C chinensis and two QTLs for resistance
to C maculatus
Saxena et al (2009) identified the ISSR marker for resistance to Yellow Mosaic Virus
in Soybean (Glycine max L Merrill) with the cross JS-335 times UPSM-534 The primer 50 SS
was useful to find out the gene resistant to YMV in soybean
Isemura et al (2012) constructed the first genetic linkage map using 430 SSR and
EST-SSR markers from mungbean and its related species and all these markers were mapped
onto 11 linkage groups spanning a total of 7276 cM
Kajonphol et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean with a mapping
population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene
Selvi et al (2006) in these studies a F2 population from cross between resistant
mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was
identified that RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean
262 Molecular markers associated with various disease resistances in
other crops using bulk segregant analysis
Che et al (2003) identified five molecular markers link with the sheath blight
resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers
Mittal et al (2005) identified one SSR primer Xtxp 309 for leaf blight disease
resistance through bulk segregant analysis and linkage map showed a distance of 312 cM
away from the locus governing resistance to leaf blight which was considered to be closely
linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight
Sandhu et al (2005) Bulk segregate analysis was conducted for the identification of
SSR markers that are tightly linked to Rps8 phytophthora resistance gene in soybean
Subsequently bulk segregate analysis of the whole soybean genome and mapping
experiments revealed that the Rps8 gene maps closely to the disease resistance gene-rich
Rps3 region
Malik et al (2007) used PCR technique and bulk segregate analysis to identify DNA
marker linked to leaf rust resistant gene in F2 segregating population in wheat The primer 60-
5 amplified polymorphic molecules of 1100 base pairs from the genomic DNA of resistant
plant
Lei et al (2008) by using 63 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers and 113
sets of SSRSTS primers reported molecular markers associated with resistance to bruchids in
mungbean in bulk segregate analysis Two of the markers OPC-06 and STSbr2 were found
to be linked with the locus (named as Br2)
Silva et al (2008) the mapping populations were screened with SSR markers using
the bulk segregate analysis (BSA) to reported four distinct genes (Rpp1 Rpp2 Rpp3 and
Rpp4) that conferred resistance to Asian rust in soybean and expedite the identification of
linked markers
Zhang et al (2008) used Bulk Segregate Analysis (BSA) and Randomly Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods to analyze the F2 individuals of 82-3041 times Yunyan 84 to
screen and characterize the molecular marker linked to brown-spot resistant gene in tobacco
Primer S361 producing one RAPD marker S361650 tightly linked to the brown-spot
resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate
region identified with BSA
Anuradha et al (2011) first report on mapping of QTL for BGM resistance in
chickpea consisting of 144 markers assigned on 11 linkage groups was constructed from
RILs of a cross ICCV 2 X JG 62 map obtained was 4428 cM Three quantitative trait loci
(QTL) which together accounted for 436 of the variation for BGM resistance were
identified and mapped on two linkage groups
Shoba et al (2012) through bulk segregant analysis identified the SSR primer PM
384100 allele for late leaf spot disease resistance in groundnut PM 384100 was able to
distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for Late Leaf Spot (LLS)
Priya et al (2013) Linkage analysis was carried out in mungbean using RAPD marker
OPA-13420 on 120 individuals of F2 progenies from the crossing between BL-20 times Vs The
results demonstrated that the genetic distance between OPA-13420 and powdery mildew
resistant gene was 583 cM
Vikram et al (2013) The BSA approach successfully detected consistent effect
drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

1 ( sum yi )
Y = n i=1
3522 Variance
n

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)
2g
Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance
As suggested by Johnson et al (1955) (hsup2) estimates were categorized as
Low 0-30
Medium 30-60
High above 60
3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100
Grand mean
The range of genetic advance as percent of mean was classified as suggested by
Johnson et al (1955)
Low Less than 10

341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually

DISEASE RESISTANCE
411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers

ABSTRACT
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) (2n=22) is one of the most highly valuable pulse
crop cultivated in almost all parts of india It is a good source of easily digestible proteins
carbohydrates and other nutritional factors Beside different biotic and abiotic constraints
viral diseases mostly yellow mosaic disease is the prime threat for massive economic loss in
areas of production The Yellow Mosaic disease (YMD) caused by Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) a Gemini virus transmitted by whitefly ( Bemesia tabaciGenn) is
one of the most downfall disease that has the ability to cause yield loss upto 85 The
advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as marker assisted
selection and genetic transformation can be utilized in developing MYMV resistance
uradbeans
The investigation was carried out to find out the markers linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene MYMV resistant parent T9 and MYMV susceptible parent LBG 759 were
crossed to produce mapping population Parents F1 and 125 F2 individuals of a mapping
population were subjected to natural screening to assess their reaction to against MYMV
This investigation revealed that single recessive gene is governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV F2 mapping population revealed segregation of the gene in 95
susceptible 30 resistant ie 13 ratio showing that resistance to yellow mosaic virus is
governed by a monogenic recessive gene
A total of 50 SSR primers were used to study parental polymorphism Of these 14 SSR
markers were found polymorphic showing 28 of polymorphism between the parents These
fourteen markers were used to screen the F2 populations to find the markers linked to the
resistance gene by bulk segregant analysis The marker CEDG185 present on linkage group
8 clearly distinguished resistant and susceptible parents bulks and ten F2 resistant and
susceptible plants indicating that this marker is tightly linked to yellow mosaic virus
resistance gene
F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score The presence of additive gene action was observed in the number of pods per
plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant pod length whereas non-
additive genetic variance was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate the
epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these traits
The presence of additive gene indicates the availability of sufficient heritable variation
that could be used in the selection programme and can be easily transferred to succeeding
generations The difference between GCV and PCV for pods per plant and seed yield per
plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the expression of these
characters whereas the remaining other traits were least influenced by environment The
increase in mean values in the segregating population indicates scope for further
improvement in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length
and other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of
transgressive segregates in later generations
This marker CEDG185 is used to screen the large germplasm for YMV resistance The
material produced can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to develop RILS and can
be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified markers High
heritability variability genetic advance as percent mean in the segregating population can be
handled under different selection schemes for improving productivity

INTRODUCTION
Pulses are main source of protein to vegetarian diet It is second important constituent of
Indian diet after cereals Total pulse production in india is 1738 million tonnes (FAOSTAT
2015-16) They can be grown on all types of soil and climatic conditions Pulses being
legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil They play important role in crop rotation
mixed and intercropping as they help maintaining the soil fertility They add organic matter
into the soil in the form of leaf mould They are helpful for checking the soil erosion as they
have more leafy growth and close spacing Some pulses are turned into soil as green manure
crops Majority pulses crops are short durational so that second crop may be taken on same
land in a year Pulses are low fat high fibre no cholesterol low glycemic index high protein
high nutrient foods They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes heart
disease or coeliac disease India is the world largest pulses producer accounting for 27-28 per
cent of global pulses production Pulses are largely cultivated in dry-lands during the winter
seasons Among the Indian states Madhya Pradesh is the leading pulses producer Other
states which cultivate pulses in larger extent include Udttar Pradesh Maharashtra Rajasthan
Karnataka Andhra Pradesh and Bihar In India black gram occupies 127 per cent of total
area under pulses and contribute 84 per cent of total pulses production (Swathi et al 2013)
Black gram or Urad bean (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) originated in india where it has
been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India
and Pakistan Total production in India is 1610 thousand tonnes in 2014-15 Cultivated in
almost all parts of India (Delic et al 2009) this leguminous pulse has inevitably marked
itself as the most popular pulse and can be most appropriately referred to as the king of the
pulses India is the largest producer and consumer of black gram cultivated in an area about
326 million hectares (AICRP Report 2015) The coastal Andhra region in Andhra Pradesh is
famous for black gram after paddy (INDIASTAT 2015)
The Guntur District ranks first in Andhra Pradesh for the production of black gram
Black gram is very nutritious as it contains high levels of protein (25g100g)
potassium(983 mg100g)calcium(138 mg100g)iron(757 mg100g)niacin(1447 mg100g)
Thiamine(0273 mg100g and riboflavin (0254 mg100g) (karamany 2006) Black gram
complements the essential amino acids provided in most cereals and plays an important role
in the diets of the people of Nepal and India Black gram has been shown to be useful in
mitigating elevated cholesterol levels (Fary2002) Being a proper leguminous crop black
gram has all the essential nutrients which it makes to turn into a fertilizer with its ability to fix
nitrogen it restores soil fertility as well It proves to be a great rotation crop enhancing the
yield of the main crop as well It is nutritious and is recommended for diabetics as are other
pulses It is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine as an ingredient of dal makhani
There are many factors responsible for low productivity ranging from plant ideotype
to biotic and abiotic stresses (AVRDC 1998) Most emerging infectious diseases of plants are
caused by viruses (Anderson et al 1954) Plant viral diseases cause serious economic losses
in many pulse crops by reducing seed yield and quality (Kang et al 2005) Among the
various diseases the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Disease (MYMD) disease was given special
attention because of its severity and ability to cause yield loss up to 85 per cent (Nene 1972
Verma and Malathi 2003)The yellow mosaic disease (YMD) was first observed in India in
1955 at the experimental farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi
(Nariani 1960)
Symptoms include initially small yellow patches or spots appear on green lamina of
young leaves Soon it develops into a characteristics bright yellow mosaic or golden yellow
mosaic symptom Yellow discoloration slowly increases and leaves turn completely yellow
Infected plants mature later and bear few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
Early infection causes death of the plant before seed set It causes severe yield reduction in all
urdbean growing countries in Asia including India (Biswass et al 2008)
It is caused by Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Northen and
Central Region (Mandal et al 1997) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in
western and southern regions (Moringa et al 1990) MYMV have been placed in two virus
species Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) on the basis of nucleotide sequence identity (Fauquet et al 2003) It is a
Begomovirus belonging to the family geminiviridae Transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci
under favourable conditions Disease spreads by feeding of plants by viruliferous whiteflies
Summer sown crops are highly susceptible Yellow mosaic disease in northern and central
India is caused by MYMIV whereas the disease in southern and western India is caused by
MYMV (Usharani et al 2004) Weed hosts viz Croton sparsiflorus Acalypha indica
Eclipta alba and other legume hosts serve as reservoir for inoculum
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) belong to the genus begomovirus and
occurs in a number of leguminous plants such as urdbean mungbean cowpea (Nariani1960)
soybean (Suteri1974) horsegram lab-lab bean (Capoor and Varma 1948) and French bean
In blackgram YMV causes irregular yellow green patches on older leaves and complete
yellowing of young leaves of susceptible varieties (Singh and De 2006)
Management practices include rogue out the diseased plants up to 40 days after
sowing Remove the weed hosts periodically Increase the seed rate (25 kgha) Grow
resistant black gram variety like VBN-1 PDU 10 IC122 and PLU 322 Cultivate the crop
during rabi season Follow mixed cropping by growing two rows of maize (60 x 30 cm) or
sorghum (45 x 15cm) or cumbu (45 x 15 cm) for every 15 rows of black gram or green gram
Treat the seeds with Thiomethoxam-70WS or Imidacloprid-70WS 4gkg Spray
Thiamethoxam-25WG 100g or Imidacloprid 178 SL 100 ml in 500 lit of water
An approach with more perspective is marker assisted selection (MAS) which
emerged in recent years due to developments in molecular marker technology especially
those based on the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR ) (Basak et al 2004) Therefore to
facilitate research programme on breeding for disease resistance it was considered important
to screen and identify the sources of resistance against YMV in blackgram Screening for
new resistance sources by one of the genetically linked molecular markers could facilitate
marker assisted selection for rapid evaluation This method of genotyping would save time
and labour Development of PCR based SCAR developed from RAPD markers is a method
of choice to test YMV resistance in blackgram because it is simple and rapid (B V Bhaskara
Reddy 2013) The marker was consistently associated with the genotypes resistant to YMV
but susceptible genotypes without the resistance gene lacked the marker These results are to
be expected because of the linkage of the marker to the resistance gene With the closely
linked marker quick assessment of susceptibility or resistance at early crop stage it will
eliminate the need for maintaining disease for artificial screening techniques
The advancements in the field of biotechnology and molecular biology such as
genetic transformation and marker assisted selection could be utilized in developing MYMV
resistance mungbean (Xu et al 2000) Inheritance of MYMV resistance studies revealed that
the resistance is controlled by a single recessive gene (Singh 1977 Thakur 1977 Saleem
1998 Malik 1986 Reddy 1995 and Reeddy 2012) dominant gene (Sandhu 1985 and
Gupta et al 2005) two recessive genes (Verma 1988 Ammavasai 2004 and Singh et al
2006) and complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)
Despite blackgram being an important crop of Asia use of molecular markers in this
crop is still limited due to slow development of genomic resources such as availability of
polymorphic trait-specific markers Among the different types of markers simple sequence
repeats (SSR) are easy to use highly reproducible and locus specific These have been widely
used for genetic mapping marker assisted selection and genetic diversity analysis and also in
population genetics study in different crops In the past SSR markers derived from related
Vigna species were used to identify their transferability in black gram with the use of such
SSR markers two linkage maps were also developed in this crop (Chaitieng et al 2006 and
Gupta et al 2008) However use of transferable SSR markers in these linkage maps was
limited and only 47 SSR loci were assigned to the 11 linkage groups (Chaitieng et al 2006
and Gupta et al 2008) Therefore efforts are urgently required to increase the availability of
new polymorphic SSR markers in blackgram
These are landmarks located near genetic locus controlling a trait of interest and are
usually co-inherited with the genetic locus in segregating populations across generations
They are used to flag the position of a particular gene or the inheritance of a particular
characteristic Rapid identification of genotypes carrying MYMV resistant genes will be
helpful through molecular marker technology without subjecting them to MYMV screening
Different viral resistance genes have been tagged with markers in several crops like soybean
Phaseolus (Urrea et al 1996) and pea (Gao et al 2004) Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
and SCAR markers linked to the resistance in blackgram (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna
2006) has exerted a potential for locating the gene in urdbean Now-a-days this is possible
due to the availability of many kinds of markers viz Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSR) which can be used for the effective tagging of the MYMV
resistance gene Different molecular markers have been used for the molecular analysis of
grain legumes (Gupta and Gopalakrishna 2008)
Among different DNA markers microsatellites (or) Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs)Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) Microsatellites Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
have occupied a pivotal place because of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are locus
specific short DNA sequences that are tandemly repeated as mono di tri tetra or penta
nucleotides in the genome (Toth et al 2000) They are also called as Simple Sequence
Repeats (SSR) or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) The SSR markers are developed from
genomic sequences or Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) information The DNA sequences are
searched for SSR motif and the primer pairs are developed from the flanking sequences of the
repeat region The SSR marker assay can be automated for efficiency and high throughput
Among various DNA markers systems SSR markers are considered the most ideal marker
for genetic studies because they are multi-allelic abundant randomly and widely distributed
throughout the genome co-dominant that could differentiate plants with homozygous or
heterozygous alleles simple to assay highly reliable reproducible and could be applied
across laboratories and amenable for automation
In method of BSA two pools (or) bulks from a segregating population originating
from a single cross contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to a particular
disease) are analysed to identify markers that distinguish them BSA in a population is
screened for a character of interest and the genotypes at the two extreme ends form two
bulks Two bulks were tested for the presence or absence of molecular markers Since the
bulks are supposed to contrast for alleles contributing positive and negative effects any
marker polymorphism between the two bulks indicates the linkage between the marker and
character of interest BSA provides a method to focus on regions of interest or areas sparsely
populated with markers Also it is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in
populations initially used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
Nowadays there are research reports using SSR markers for mapping the urdbean
genome and locating QTLs Genetic linkage maps have been constructed in many Vigna
species including urdbean (Lambrides et al 2000) cowpea (Menendez et al 1997) and
adzuki bean (Kaga et al 1996) (Ghafoor et al 2005) determining the QTL of urdbean by
the use of SDS-PAGE Markers (Chaitieng et al 2006) development of linkage map and its
comparison with azuki bean (wild) (Ohwi and Ohashi) in urdbean Gupta et al (2008)
construction of linkage map of black gram based on molecular markers and its comparative
studies Recently Kajonphol et al (2012) constructed a linkage map for agronomic traits in
mungbean
Despite the severity of the damage caused by YMV development of sustainable
resistant cultivars against YMV through conventional breeding has not yet been successful in
this part of the globe It is therefore an ideal strategy to search for molecular markers linked
with YMV resistance
Keeping the above in view the present study was undertaken to identify the molecular
markers linked to YMV resistance with the following objectives
1 To study the parental polymorphism
2 Phenotyping and Genotyping of F2 mapping population
3 Identification of SSR markers linked to Yellow Mosaic Virus resistance by Bulk
Segregation Analysis

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Blackgram is belongs to the family Fabaceae and the genus Vigna Only seven species of the
genus Vigna are cultivated as pulse crops Blackgram (Vigna mungo L Hepper) is a member
of the Asian Vigna crop group It is a staple crop in the central and South East Asia
Blackgram is native to India (Vavilov 1926) The progenitor of blackgram is believed to be
Vigna mungo var silvestris which grows wild in India (Lukoki et al 1980) Blackgram is
one of the most highly prized pulse crop cultivated in almost all parts of India and can be
most appropriately referred to as the ldquoKing of the pulsesrdquo due to its mouth watering taste and
numerous other nutritional qualities Being a proper leguminous crop it is itself a mini-
fertilizer factory as it has unique characteristics of maintaining and restoring soil fertility
through fixing atmospheric nitrogen in symbiotic association with Rhizobium bacteria
present in the root nodules (Ahmad et al 2001)
Although better agricultural and breeding practices have significantly improved the
yield of blackgram over the last decade yet productivity is limited and could not ful fill
domestic consumption demand of the country (Muruganantham et al 2005) The major yield
limiting factors are its susceptibility to various biotic (viral fungal bacterial pathogens and
insects) (Sahoo et al 2002) and abiotic [salinity (Bhomkar et al 2008) and drought (Jaiwal
and Gulati 1995)] stresses Among different constraints viral diseases mainly yellow mosaic
disease is the major threat for huge economical losses in the Indian subcontinent (Nene
1973) It can cause 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs at seedling stage (Varma et al
1992 and Ghafoor et al 2000) The disease is caused by the geminivirus - MYMV
(mungbean yellow mosaic virus) The virus is transmitted by white flies (Bemisia tabaci)
Chemical control may have undesirable effect on health safety and cause environmental risks
(Manczinger et al 2002) To overcome the limitations of narrow genetic base the
conventional and traditional breeding methods are to be supplemented with biotechnological
techniques Therefore molecular markers will be reliable source for screening large number
of resistant germplasm lines and hence can be used in breeding YMV resistant lines and
complementary recessive genes (Shukla 1985)s
21 Viruses as a major constrain in pulse production
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) is one of the major pulse crops of the tropics and sub
tropics It is the third major pulse crop cultivated in the Indian sub-continent Yellow mosaic
disease (YMD) is the major constraint to the productivity of grain legumes across the Indian
subcontinent (Varma et al 1992 and Varma amp Malathi 2003) YMV affects the majority of
legumes crops including mungbean (Vigna radiata) blackgram (Vigna mungo) pigeon pea
(Cajanus cajan) soybean (Glycine max) mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) and common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) causing loss of about $300 millions MYMIV is more predominant in
northern central and eastern regions of India (Usharani et al 2004) and MYMV in southern
region (Karthikeyan et al 2004 Girish amp Usha 2005 and Haq et al 2011) to which Andhra
Pradesh state belongs The YMVs are included in the genus Begomovirus being transmitted
by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and having bipartite genomes These crops are adversely
affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for a large extent of
the instability and low yields
In India YMD was first reported in Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) in western India
in 1940s Later in 1950 YMD was seen in dolichos (Lablab purpureus) in Pune Nariani
(1960) observed YMD in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in the experimental fields at Indian
Agricultural Research Institute and was subsequently observed throughout India in almost all
the legume crops The loss in yield is more than 60 per cent when infection occurs within
twenty days after sowing
22 Genetic inheritance of mungbean yellow mosaic virus
Black gram is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=22) annual crop with a small genome size
estimated to be 056pg1C (574Mbp) (Gupta et al 2008) The major biotic stress is
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India Virus (MYMIV) (Mayo 2005) accounts for the low harvest
index of the present day urdbean cultivers YMD is caused by geminivirus (genus
Begomovirus family Geminiviridae) which has bipartite genomes (DNA A and DNA B)
Begmovirus transmitted through the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn (Honda et al 1983) It
causes significant yield loss for many legume seeds not only Vigna mungo but also in V
radiata and Glycine max throughout the South-Asian countries Depending on the severity of
the disease the yield penalty may reach up to cent percent (Basak et al 2004) Genetic
control of resistance to MYMIV in urdbean has been investigated using different methods
There are conflicting reports about the genetics of resistance to MYMIV claiming both
resistance and susceptibility to be dominant In blackgram resistance was found to be
monogenic dominant (Kaushal and Singh 1988) The digenic recessive nature of resistance
was reported by (Singh et al 1998) Monogenic recessive control of MYMIV resistance has
also been reported (Reddy and Singh 1995) It has been reported to be governed by a single
dominant gene in DPU 88-31 along with few other MYMIV resistant cultivars of urdbean
(Gupta et al 2005) Inheritance of the resistance has been reported as conferred by a single
recessive gene (Basak et al 2004 and Reddy 2009) a dominant gene (Sandhu et al 1985)
two recessive genes (Pal et al 1991 and Ammavasai et al 2004)
Thamodhran et al (2016) studied the nature of inheritance of YMV through goodness
of fit test and noted it as the duplicate dominant duplicate recessive in segregating
populations of various crosses
Durgaprasad et al (2015) revealed that the resistance to YMV was governed by
digenically and involves various interactions includes duplicate dominant and inhibitory
interactions They performed selective cross combinations and tested the nature of
inheritance
Vinoth et al (2014) performed crosses between resistant cultivar bdquoVBN (Bg) 4‟
(Vigna mungo) and susceptible accession of Vigna mungo var silvestris 222 a wild
progenitor of blackgram and observed nature of inheritance for YMV in F1 F2 RIL
populations and noted it as the single dominant gene controls it
Reddy et al (2014) studied the variability and identified the species of Begomovirus
associated with yellow mosaic disease of black gram in Andhra Pradesh India the total DNA
was isolated by modified CTAB method and amplified with coat protein gene-specific
primers (RHA-F and AC abut) resulting in 900thinspbp gene product
Gupta et al (2013) studied the inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene in blackgram
using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) times AKU 9904 (susceptible) The
results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the MYMIV
resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Sudha et al (2013) observed the inheritance of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic
virus (MYMV) in inter TNAU RED times VRM (Gg) 1 and intra KMG 189 times VBN (Gg) 2
specific crosses of mungbean 3 (Susceptible) 1 (Resistance) was observed in both the two
crosses of all F2 population and it showed that the dominance of susceptibility over the
resistance and the results of the F3 segregation (121) confirm the segregation pattern of the
F2 segregation
Basamma et al (2011) studied the inheritance of resistance to MYMV by crossing TAU-1
(susceptible to MYMV disease) with BDU-4 a resistant genotype The evaluation of F1 F2
and F3 and parental lines indicated the role of a dominant gene in governing the inheritance of
resistance to MYMV
T K Anjum et al (2010) studied the mapping of Mungbean Yellow Mosaic India
Virus (MYMIV) and powdery mildew resistant gene in black gram [Vigna mungo (L)
Hepper] The parents selected for MYMIV mapping population were DPU 88-31 as resistant
source and AKU 9904 as susceptible one For establishment of powdery mildew mapping
population RBU 38 was used as resistant and DPU 88-31 as the susceptible one Parental
polymorphism was assessed using 363 SSR and 24 RGH markers
Kundagrami et al (2009) reported that Genetic control of MYMV- resistance was
evaluated and confirmed to be of monogenic recessive nature
Singh and Singh (2006) reported the inheritance of resistance to MYMV in cross
involving three resistant and four susceptible genotypes of mungbean Susceptible to MYMV
was dominant over resistance in F1 generation of all the crosses Observation on disease
incidence of F2 and F3 generation indicated that two recessive gene imparted resistance
against MYMV in each cross
Gupta et al (2005) examined the inheritance of resistance to Mungbean Yellow
Mosaic Virus (MYMV) in F1 F2 and F3 populations of intervarietal crosses of blackgram
disease severity on F2 plants segregated 31 (resistant susceptible RS) as expected for a
single dominant resistant gene in all resistant x susceptible crosses The results of F3 analysis
confirmed the presence of a dominant gene for resistance to MYMV
Basak et al (2004) conducted experiment on YMV tolerance and they identified a
monogenic recessive control of was revealed from the F2 segregation ratio of 31 susceptible
tolerant which was confirmed by the segregation ratio of the F3 families To know the
inheritance pattern of MYMV in blackgram F1 F2 and F3 generations were phenotyped for
MYMV reaction by forced inoculation using viruliferous white flies
Verma and Singh (2000) studied the allelic relationship of resistance genes for
MYMV in blackgram (V mungo (L) Hepper) The resistant donors to MYMV- Pant U84
and UPU 2 and their F1 F2 and F3 generations were inoculated artificially using an insect
vector whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Germ) They concluded that two recessive genes previously
reported for resistance were found to be the same in both donors
Verma and Singh (1989) reported that susceptibility was dominant over resistance
with two recessive genes required for resistance and similar reports were also observed in
green gram cowpea soybean and pea
Solanki (1981) studied that recessive gene for resistance to MYMV in blackgram The
recessive and two complimentary genes controlling resistance of YMV was reported by
Shukla and Pandya (1985)
221 Symptomology
This disease is caused by the Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) belonging to Gemini
group of viruses which is transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) This viral disease is
found on several alternate and collateral host which act as primary sources of inoculums The
tender leaves show yellow mosaic spots which increase with time leading to complete
yellowing Yellowing leads to less flowering and pod development Early infection often
leads to death of plants Initially irregular yellow and green patches alternating with each
other The yellow discoloration slowly increases and newly formed leaves may completely
turn yellow Infected leaves also show necrotic symptoms and infected plants normally
mature late and bear a very few flowers and pods The pods are small and distorted
The diseased plants usually mature late and bear very few flowers and pods The size
of yellow areas on leaves goes on increasing in the new growth and ultimately some of the
apical leaves turn completely yellow The symptoms appear in the form of small irregular
yellow specs and spots along the veins which enlarge until leaves were completely yellowed
the size of the pod is reduced and more frequently immature small sized seeds are obtained
from the pods of diseased plants It can cause up to 100 per cent yield loss if infection occurs
three weeks after planting loss will be small if infection occurs after eight weeks from the
day of planting (Karthikeyan 2010)
222 Epidemology
The variation in disease incidence over locations might be due to the variation in temperature
and relative humidity that may have direct influence on vector population and its migration It
was noticed that the crop infected at early stages suffered more with severe symptoms with
almost all the leaves exhibiting yellow mosaic and complete yellowing and puckering
Invariably whiteflies were found feeding in most of the fields surveyed along with jassids
thrips pod borers and pulse beetles in some of the fields The white fly population increased
with increase in temperature increase in relative humidity or heavy showers and strong winds
in rainy season found detrimental to whiteflies The temperature of insects is approximately
the same as that of the environment hence temperature has a profound effect on distribution
and prevalence of white fly (James et al 2002 and Hoffmann et al 2003)
The weather parameters play a vital role in survival and multiplication of white fly (B
tabaci Genn) and influence MYMV outbreak in Black gram during monsoon season Singh
et al (1982) reported that high disease attack at pod bearing stage is a major setback for black
gram yield and it also delayed the pod maturity There was a significantly positive correlation
between temperature variations and whitefly population whereas humidity was negatively
correlated with the whitefly population (AK Srivastava)
In northern India with the onset of monsoon rain (June to July) population of vector
increased and the rate of spread of virus were also increased whereas before the monsoon rain
the population of B tabaci was non-viruliferous
23 Genetic variability heritability and genetic advance
The main objective for any crop improvement programme is to increase the seed yield The
amount of variability present in a population where selection has to be is responsible for the
extent of improvement of a character Therefore it is necessary to know the proportion of
observed variability that is heritable
Meshram et al (2013) studied pure line seeds of black gram variety viz T-9 TPU-4
and one promising genotype AKU-18 treated with gamma irradiation (15kR 25kR and 35kR)
with the objective to assess the variability in M3 generation Highest GCV and PCV and high
estimates of heritability were recorded for the characters sprouting percentage number of
pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1(g) High heritability accompanied with high genetic
advance was recorded for number of pods plant-1 governed by additive gene effects and
therefore selection based on phenotypic performance will be useful to improve character in
future
Suresh et al (2013) studied yield and its contributing characters in M4 populations of
mungbean genotypes and evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations
heritability genetic advance and concluded that high heritability (broad) along with high
genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for the trait plant height number of pods
per plant number of seeds per pod 100 seed weight and single plant yield indicating that
these characters would be amenable for phenotypic selection
Srivastava and Singh (2012) reported that in mungbean the estimates of genotypic
coefficient of variability heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant
100-seed weight number of seeds per pod number of pods per plant and number of nodes on
main stem
Neelavathi and Govindarasu (2010) studied seventy four diverse genotypes of
blackgram under rice fallow condition for yield and its component traits High genotypic
variability was observed for branches per plant clusters per plant pods per plant biological
yield and seed yield along with high heritability and genetic advance suggesting effective
improvement of these characters through a simple selection programme
Rahim et al (2010) studied genotypic and phenotypic variance coefficient of
variance heritability genetic advance was evaluated for yield and its contributing characters
in 26 mung bean genotypes High heritability (broad) along with high genetic advance in
percent of mean was observed for plant height number of pods per plant number of seeds
per pod 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plant
Arulbalachandran et al (2010) observed high Genetic variability heritability and
genetic advance for all quantitative traits in black gram mutants
Pervin et al (2007) observed a wide range of variability in black gram for five
quantitative traits They reported that heritability in the broad sense with genetic advance
expressed as percentage of mean was comparatively low
Byregouda et al (1997) evaluated eighteen black gram genotypes of diverse origin for
PCV GCV heritability and genetic advance Sufficient variability was recorded in the
material for grain yield per plant pods per plant branches per plant and plant height High
heritability values associated with high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield per
plant and pods per plant High heritability in conjugation with medium genetic advance was
obtained for 100-seed weight and branches per plant
Sirohi et al (1994) carried out studies on genetic variability heritability and genetic
advance in 56 black gram genotypes The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were
high for 100-seed weight seed yield per plant and plant height
Ramprasad et al (1989) reported high heritability genotypic variance and genetic
advance as per cent mean for seed yield per plant pods per plant and clusters per plant from
the data on seven yield components in F2 crosses of 14 lines
Sharma and Rao (1988) reported variation for yield and yield components by analysis
of data from F1s and F2s and parents of six inter varietal crosses High heritability was
obtained with pod length and 100-seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance was noticed with pod length and seed yield per plant
Singh et al (1987) in a study of 48 crosses of F1 and F2 reported high heritability for
plant height in F1 and F2 and number of seeds per pod in F2 Estimates were higher in F2 for
all traits than F1 Estimates of genetic advance were similar to heritability in both the
generations
Kumar and Reddy (1986) revealed variability for plant height primary branches
clusters per plant and pods per plant from a study on 28 F3 progenies indicating additive
gene action Pods per plant pod length seeds per pod 100-seed weight and seed yield per
plant recorded low to moderate heritability
Mishra (1983) while working on variability heritability and genetic advance in 18
varieties of black gram having diverse origin observed that heritability estimates were high
for 100 seed weight and plant height and moderate for pods per plant Plant height pods per
plant and clusters per plant had high predicted genetic advance accompanied by high
variability and moderate heritability
Patel and Shah (1982) noticed high GCV heritability coupled with high genetic
advance for plant height Whereas high heritability estimates with low genetic advance was
observed for number of pods per cluster seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
Shah and Patel (1981) noticed higher GCV heritability and genetic advance for plant
height moderate heritability and genetic advance for numbers of clusters per plant and pods
per plant while low heritability was reported for seed yield in black gram genotypes
Johnson et al (1955) estimates heritability along with genetic gain is more helpful
than the heritability value alone in predicting the result for selection of the best individuals
However GCV was found to be high for the traits single plant yield number of clusters per
plant and number of pods per plant High heritability per cent was observed with days to
maturity number of seeds per pod and hundred seed weight High genetic advance as per
cent of mean was observed for plant height number of clusters per plant number of pods per
plant single plant yield and hundred seed weight High heritability coupled with high genetic
advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred seed weight Transgressive segregants
were observed for all the traits and finally these could be used further for yield testing apart
from utilizing it as pre breeding material
24 Molecular markers for blackgram
Molecular marker technology has greatly accelerated breeding programs for improvement of
various traits including disease resistance and pest resistance in various crops by providing an
indirect method of selection Molecular markers are indispensable for genomic study The
markers are typically small regions of DNA often showing sequence polymorphism in
different individuals within a species and transmitted by the simple Mendelian laws of
inheritance from one generation to the next These include Allele Specific PCR (AS-PCR)
(Sarkar et al 1990) DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF) (Caetano et al 1991) Single
Sequence Repeats (Hearne et al 1992) Arbitrarily Primed PCR (AP-PCR) (Welsh and Mc
Clelland 1992) Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) (Jordan and Humphries 1994)
Sequence Tagged Sites (STS) (Fukuoka et al 1994) Amplified Fragment Length
Polymorphism (AFLP) (Vos et al 1995) Simple sequence repeats (SSR) (Anitha 2008)
Resistant gene analogues (RGA) (Chithra 2008) Random amplified polymorphic DNA-
Sequence characterized amplified regions (RAPD-SCAR) (Sudha 2009) Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism- Resistant gene
analogues (AFLP-RGA) (Nawkar 2009)
Molecular markers are used to construct linkage map for identification of genes
conferring resistance to target traits in the crop Efforts are being made to identify the
markers tightly linked to the genes responsible for resistance which will be useful for marker
assisted breeding for developing MYMIV and powdery mildew resistant cultivars in black
gram (Tuba K Anjum et al 2010) Molecular markers reported to be linked to YMV
resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram genotypes
for their utility in marker assisted selection (SK Gupta et al 2015) Only recently
microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers a marker system of choice have
been developed from mungbean (Kumar et al 2002 and Miyagi et al 2004) Simple
Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers because of their ubiquitous presence in the genome highly
polymorphic nature and co-dominant inheritance are another marker of choice for
constructing genetic linkage maps in plants (Flandez et al 2003 Han et al 2005 and
Chaitieng et al 2006)
2411 Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
RAPDs are DNA fragments amplified by PCR using short synthetic primers (generally 10
bp) of random sequence These oligonucleotides serve as both forward and reverse primer
and are usually able to amplify fragments from 1-10 genomic sites simultaneously The main
advantage of RAPDs is that they are quick and easy to assay Moreover RAPDs have a very
high genomic abundance and are randomly distributed throughout the genome Variants of
the RAPD technique include Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-PCR) which
uses longer arbitrary primers than RAPDs and DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF)
that uses shorter 5-8 bp primers to generate a larger number of fragments The homozygous
presence of fragment is not distinguishable from its heterozygote and such RAPDs are
dominant markers The RAPD technique has been used for identification purposes in many
crops like mungbean (Lakhanpaul et al 2000) and cowpea (Mignouna et al 1998)
S K Gupta et al (2015) in this study 10 molecular markers reported to be linked to
YMV resistance in black gram and mungbean were validated on 19 diverse black gram
genotypes for their utility in marker assisted selection Three molecular markers
(ISSR8111357 YMV1-FR and CEDG180) differentiated the YMV resistant and susceptible
black gram genotypes
RK Kalaria et al (2014) out of 200 RAPD markers OPG-5 OPJ- 18 and OPM-20
were proved to be the best markers for the study of polymorphism as it produced 28 35 28
amplicons respectively with overall polymorphism was found to be 7017 Out of 17 ISSR
markers used DE- 16 proved to be the best marker as it produced 61 amplicons and 15
scorable bands and showed highest polymorphism among all Once these markers are
identified they can be used to detect the QTLs linked to MYMV resistance in mungbean
breeding programs as a selection tool in early generations and further use in developing
segregating material
BVBhaskara Reddy et al (2013) studied PCR reactions using SCAR marker for
screening the disease reaction with genomic DNA of these lines resulted in identification of
19 resistant sources with specific amplification for resistance to YMV at 532bp with SCAR
20F20R developed from OPQ1 RARD primer linked to YMV disease
Savithramma et al (2013) studied to identify random amplified polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) marker associated with Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistance in
mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) by employing bulk segregant analysis in
Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) only one primer ie UBC 499 amplified a single 700 bp
band in the genotype BL 849 (resistant parent) and MYMV resistant bulk which was absent
in Chinamung (susceptible parent) and MYMV susceptible bulk indicating that the primer
was linked to MYMV resistance
A Karthikeyan et al (2010) Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniques were used to analyse the F2 individuals of susceptible
VBN (Gg)2 times resistant KMG 189 to screen and identify the molecular marker linked to
Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) resistant gene in mungbean Co segregation
analysis was performed in resistant and susceptible F2 individuals it confirmed that OPBB
05 260 marker was tightly linked to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus resistant gene in
mungbean
TS Raveendran et al (2006) bulked segregation analysis was employed to identity
RAPD markers linked to MYMV resistant gene of ML 267 in a cross with CO 4 OPS 7 900
only revealed polymorphism in resistant and susceptible parents indicating the association
with MYMV resistance
2412 Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP)
A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of
genomic DNA Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity AFLP methods
rapidly generate hundreds of highly replicable markers from DNA of any organism thus
they allow high-resolution genotyping of fingerprinting quality The time and cost efficiency
replicability and resolution of AFLPs are superior or equal to those of other markers Because
of their high replicability and ease of use AFLP markers have emerged as a major new type
of genetic marker with broad application in systematics path typing population genetics
DNA fingerprinting and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping The reproducibility of AFLP
is ensured by using restriction site-specific adapters and adapter specific primers with a
variable number of selective nucleotide under stringent amplification conditions Since
polymorphism is detected as the presence or absence of amplified restriction fragments
AFLP‟s are usually considered dominant markers
2413 SSR Markers in Black gram
Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are co-dominant markers that are
routinely used to study genetic diversity in different crop species These markers occur at
high frequency and appear to be distributed throughout the genome of higher plants
Microsatellites have become the molecular markers of choice for a wide range of applications
in genetic mapping and genome analysis (Li et al 2000) genotype identification and variety
protection (Senior et al 1998) seed purity evaluation and germplasm conservation (Brown
et al 1996) diversity studies (Xiao et al 1996)
Nirmala sehrawat et al (2016) designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus
(MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean The highest number of crossed pods was
obtained from the interspecific cross PS1 times RBL35 The azukibean-specific SSR markers
were highly useful for the identification of true hybrids during this study Molecular and
morphological characterization verified the genetic purity of the developed hybrids
Kumari Basamma et al (2015) genetics of the resistance to MYMV disease in
blackgram using a F2 and F3 populations The population size in F2 was three hundred The
results suggested that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single dominant
gene Out of 610 SSR and RGA markers screened 24 were found to be polymorphic between
two parents Based on phenotyping in F2 and F3 generations nine high yielding disease
resistant lines have been identified
Bhupender Kumar et al (2014) Genetic diversity panel of the 96 soybean genotypes
was analyzed with 121 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of which 97 were
polymorphic (8016 polymorphism) Total of 286 normal and 90 rare alleles were detected
with a mean of 236 and 074 alleles per locus respectively
Gupta et al (2013) studied molecular tagging of MYMIV resistance gene in
blackgram by using 61 SSR markers 31 were found polymorphic between the parents
Marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with resistance gene following the bulked
segregant analysis This marker was mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals
at a map distance of 129 cM
Sudha et al (2013) identified the molecular markers (SSR RAPD and SCAR)
associated with Mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in an interspecific cross between a
mungbean variety VRM (Gg) 1 X a ricebean variety TNAU RED Among the 42 azuki bean
SSR markers surveyed only 10 markers produced heterozygotic pattern in six F2 lines viz 3
121 122 123 185 and 186 These markers were surveyed in the corresponding F3
individuals which too skewed towards the mungbean allele
Tuba K Anjum (2013) Inheritance of MYMIV resistance gene was studied in
blackgram using F1 F2 and F23 derived from cross DPU 88-31(resistant) 9 AKU 9904
(susceptible) The results of genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene controls the
MYMIV resistance in blackgram genotype DPU 88-31
Dikshit et al (2012) In the present study 78 mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR)
markers representing 11 linkage groups of adzuki bean were evaluated for transferability to
mungbean and related Vigna spp 41 markers amplified characteristic bands in at least one
Vigna species Successfully utilized adzuki bean SSRs in amplifying microsatellite sequences
in Vigna species and inferring phylogenetic relationships by correlating the rate of transfer
among them
Gioi et al (2012) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
cowpea yellow mosaic virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 simple
sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance
(GC-3) and susceptible (Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were
polymorphic and these 4 SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistant genes among
40 cowpea genotypes
Jayamani Palaniappan et al (2012) Genetic diversity in 20 elite greengram [Vigna
radiata (L) R Wilczek] genotypes were studied using morphological and microsatellite
markers 16 microsatellite markers from greengram adzuki bean common bean and cowpea
were successfully amplified across 20 greengram genotypes of which 14 showed
polymorphism Combination of morphological and molecular markers increases the
efficiency of diversity measured and the adzuki bean microsatellite markers are highly
polymorphic and can be successfully used for genome analysis in greengram
Kajonpho et al (2012) used the SSR markers to construct a linkage map and identify
chromosome regions controlling some agronomic traits in mungbean Twenty QTLs
controlling major agronomic characters including days to first flower (FLD) days to first pod
maturity (PDDM) days to harvest (PDDH) 100 seed weight (SD100WT) number of seeds
per pod (SDNPPD) and pod length (PDL) were located on to the linkage map Most of the
QTLs were located on linkage groups 7 and 5
Kasettranan et al (2010) located QTLs conferring resistance to powdery mildew
disease on a SSR partial linkage map of mungbean Chankaew et al (2011) reported a QTL
mapping for Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) resistance in mungbean
Tran Dinh (2010) Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the genetic basis of
Cowpea Yellow Mosaic Virus (CYMV) resistance in 40 cowpea lines A total of 60 SSR
primers were used to screen polymorphism between stable resistance (GC-3) and susceptible
(Chrodi) genotypes of cowpea Among these only 4 primers were polymorphic and these 4
SSR primer pairs were used to detect CYMV resistance genes among 40 cowpea genotypes
Wang et al (2004) used an SSR enrichment method based on oligo-primed second-
strand synthesis to develop SSR markers in azuki bean (V angularis) Using this
methodology 49 primer pairs were made to detect dinucleotide (AG) SSR loci The average
number of alleles in complex wild and town populations of azuki bean was 30 to 34 11 to
14 and 40 respectively The genome size of azuki bean is 539 Mb therefore the number of
(AG) n and (AC) n motif loci per haploid genome were estimated to be 3500 and 2100
respectively
2414 SCAR markers
The sequence information of the genome to be study is not required for the number of PCR-
based methods including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and amplified fragment
length polymorphism A short usually ten nucleotides long arbitrary primer is used in in a
RAPD assay which generally anneals with multiple sites in different regions of the genome
and amplifies several genetic loci simultaneously RAPD markers have been converted into
Sequence-Characterized Amplified Regions (SCAR) to overcome the reproducibility
problem
SCAR markers have been developed for several crops including lettuce (Paran and
Michelmore 1993) common bean (Adam-Blondon et al 1994) raspberry (Parent and Page
1995) grape (Reisch et al 1996) rice (Naqvi and Chattoo 1996) Brassica (Barret et al
1998) and wheat (Hernandez et al 1999) Transformation of RAPD markers into SCAR
markers is usually considered desirable before application in marker assisted breeding due to
their relative increased specificity and reproducibility
Prasanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
marker OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers RAPD marker
OPQ-1 linked to YMV resistant was cloned and sequenced Their end sequences were used
to design an allele-specific sequence characterized amplicon region primer SCAR (20fr)
The marker designed was amplified at a specific site of 532bp only in resistant genotypes
Sudha (2009) developed one species-specific SCAR marker for Vumbellata by
designing primers from sequenced putatively species-specific RAPD bands
Souframanien and Gopalakrishna (2006) developed ISSR and SCAR markers linked
to the mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) in blackgram
Milla et al (2005) converted two RAPD markers flanking an introgressed QTL
influencing blue mold resistance to SCAR markers on the basis of specific forward and
reverse primers of 21 base pairs in length
Park et al (2004) identified RAPD and SCAR markers linked to the Ur-6 Andean
gene controlling specific rust resistance in common bean
2415 Inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs)
This technique is a PCR based method which involves amplification of DNA segment
present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions
oriented in opposite direction The technique uses microsatellites usually 16-25 bp long as
primers in a single primer PCR reaction targeting multiple genomic loci to amplify mainly
the inter-SSR sequences of different sizes The microsatellite repeats used as primer can be
di-nucleotides or tri-nucleotides ISSR markers are highly polymorphic and are used in
studies on genetic diversity phylogeny gene tagging genome mapping and evolutionary
biology (Reddy et al 2002)
ISSR PCR is a technique which overcomes the problems like low reproducibility of
RAPD high cost of AFLP the need to know the flanking sequences to develop species
specific primers for SSR polymorphism ISSR segregate mostly as dominant markers
following simple Mendelian inheritance However they have also been shown to segregate as
co dominant markers in some cases thus enabling distinction between homozygote and
heterozygote (Sankar and Moore 2001)
Swati Das et al (2014) Using ISSR analysis of genetic diversity in some black gram
cultivars to assess the extent of genetic diversity and the relationships among the 4 black
gram varieties based on DNA data A total number of 10 ISSR primers that produced
polymorphic and reproducible fragments were selected to amplify genomic DNA of the urad
bean genotypes
Sunita singh et al (2012) studied genetic diversity analysis in mungbean among 87
genotypes from india and neighboring countries by designing 3 anchored ISSR primers

relationships among 22 mungbean and blackgram (Vigna mungo) genotypes in Thailand
ISSR markers were more efficient than morphological markers
T Gopalakrishna et al (2006) generated recombinant inbreed population and
screened for YMV resistance with ISSR and SCAR markers and identified one marker ISSR
11 1357 was tightly linked to MYMV resistance gene at 63 cM
2416 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
Single base pair differences between individuals of a population are referred to as SNPs SNP
markers are ubiquitous and span the entire genome In human populations it has been
estimated that any two individuals have one SNP every 1000 to 2000 bps Generally there
are an enormous number of potential SNP markers for any given genome SNPs are highly
desirable in genomes that have low levels of polymorphism using conventional marker
systems eg wheat and sorghum SNP markers are biallelic (AT or GC) and therefore are
highly amenable to automation and high-throughput genotyping There have been no
published reports of the development of SNP markers in mungbean but they should be
considered by research groups who envisage long-term plant improvement programs
(Karthikeyan 2010)
25 Marker trait association
Efficient screening of resistant types even in the absence of disease is possible through
molecular marker technology Conventional approaches hindered genetic improvements by
involving complexity in screening procedure to select resistant genotypes A DNA specific
probe has been produced against the geminivirus which has caused yellow mosaic of
mungbean in Thailand (Chiemsombat 1992)
Christian et al (1992) Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
markers developed genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna unguiculata 2N=22) and mungbean

for 497 of the variation for seed weight Using these maps located major quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) for seed weight in both species Two unlinked genomic regions in cowpea
containing QTLs accounting for 527 of the variation for seed weight were identified

bands were associated with resistance and constituted a new linkage group A major
resistance quantitative trait locus was found on this linkage group that accounted for 649
of the variation in resistance to powdery mildew

analysis A single locus was identified that explained up to a maximum of 86 of the total
variation in the resistance response to the pathogen

the parents was found to be linked with YMV-reaction

Wilczek) BAC libraries using two PCR-based markers linked closely with a major locus
conditioning bruchid (Callosobruchus chinesis) resistance

mungbean (Vigna radiata) was assessed by QTL analysis revealed four loci for hard-
seediness and 11 loci for seed weight
Selvi et al (2006) Bulked segregant analysis was employed to identify RAPD marker
linked to MYMV resistance gene of ML 267 in mungbean Out of 41 primers 3 primers
produced specific fragments in resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in the
susceptible parent and bulk Amplification of individual DNA samples out of the bulk with
putative marker OPS 7900 only revealed polymorphism in all 8 resistant and 6 susceptible
plants indicating this marker was associated with MYMV resistance in Ml 267
Chen et al (2007) developed molecular mapping for bruchid resistance (Br) gene in
TC1966 through bulked segregant analysis (BSA) ten randomly amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) markers associated with the bruchid resistance gene were successfully

population comprising 186 F2 plants A total of 150 SSR primers were composed into 11
linkage groups each containing at least 5 markers Comparing the mungbean map with azuki
bean (Vigna angularis) and blackgram (Vigna mungo) linkage maps revealed extensive
genome conservation between the three species
26 Bulk segregant analysis (BSA)
Usual method to locate and compare loci regulating a major QTL requires a segregating
population of plants each one genotyped with a molecular marker However plants from such
population can also be grouped according to the phenotypic expression and tested for the
allelic frequency differences in the population bulks (Quarrie et al 1999)
The method of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) was initially proposed by Michelmore et al
1991 in their studies on downy mildew resistance in lettuce It involves comparing two
pooled DNA samples of individuals from a segregating population originating from a single
cross Within each pool or bulk the individuals are identical for the trait or gene of interest
but vary for all other genes Two pools contrasting for a trait (eg resistant and susceptible to
a particular disease) are analyzed to identify markers that distinguish them Markers that are
polymorphic between the pools will be genetically linked to loci determining the trait used to
construct the pools BSA has two immediate applications in developing genetic maps
Detailed genetic maps for many species are being developed by analyzing the segregation of
randomly selected molecular markers in single populations As a genetic map approaches
saturation the continued mapping of polymorphisms detected by arbitrarily selected markers
becomes progressively less efficient Bulked segregate analysis provides a method to focus
on regions of interest or areas sparsely populated with markers Also bulked segregant
analysis is a method of rapidly locating genes that do not segregate in populations initially
used to generate the genetic map (Michelmore et al 1991)
The bulk segregate analysis results in considerable saving of time particularly when used
with PCR based techniques such as RAPD SSR The bulk segregate analysis can be used to
detect the markers linked to many disease resistant genes including Uromyces appendiculatis
resistance in common bean (Haley et al1993) leaf rust resistance in barley (Poulsen et
al1995) and angular leaf spot in common bean (Nietsche et al 2000)
261 Molecular markers associated MYMV resistance using bulk segregant
analysis
Gupta et al (2013) evaluated that marker CEDG 180 was found to be linked with
resistance gene against MYMIV following the bulked segregant analysis This marker was
mapped in the F2 mapping population of 168 individuals at a map distance of 129 cM The
validation of this marker in nine resistant and seven susceptible genotypes has suggested its
use in marker assisted breeding for developing MYMIV resistant genotypes in blackgram
Karthikeyan et al (2012) A total of 72 random sequence decamer oligonucleotide
primers were used for RAPD analysis and they confirmed that OPBB 05 260 marker was
tightly linked to MYMV resistant gene in mungbean by using bulk segregating analysis
(BSA)
Basamma (2011) used 469 primers to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
in blackgram using Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Only 24 primers were found to be
polymorphic between the parental lines BDU-4 and TAU -1 The BSA using 24 polymorphic
primers on F2 population failed to show any association of a primer with MYMV disease
resistance
Sudha (2009) In this study an F23 population from a cross between ricebean TNAU
RED and mungbean VRM (Gg)1 was used to identify molecular markers linked with the
resistant gene As a result the bulk segregate analysis identified RAPD markers which were
linked with the MYMV resistant gene

mungbean ML267 and susceptible mungbean CO4 is used The bulk segregant analysis was

resistant gene in rice including three RFLP markers converted from RAPD and AFLP
markers and two SSR markers

linked and 795 cM away from the locus governing susceptibility to leaf blight

Rps3 region

resistant gene
Hyten et al (2009) by using 1536 SNP Golden Gate assay through bulk segregate
analysis (BSA) demonstrated that the high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping method efficient mapping of a dominant resistant locus to soybean rust (SBR)
designated Rpp3 in soybean A 13-cM region on linkage group C2 was the only candidate

drought grain-yield QTLs qDTY11 and qDTY81 detected by Whole Population Genotyping
(WPG) and Selective Genotyping (SG)
27 Marker assisted selection (MAS)
The major yield constraint in pulses is high genotype times environment (G times E) interactions on
the expression of important quantitative traits leading to slow gain in genetic improvement
and yield stability of pulses (Kumar and Ali 2006) besides severe losses caused by
susceptibility of pulses to biotic and abiotic stresses These issues require an immediate
attention and overall a paradigm shift is needed in the breeding strategies to strengthen our
traditional crop improvement programmes One way is to utilize genomics tools in
conventional breeding programmes involving molecular marker technology in selection of
desirable genotypes
The efficiency and effectiveness of conventional breeding can be significantly improved by
using molecular markers Nowadays deployment of molecular markers is not a dream to a
conventional plant breeder as it is routinely used worldwide in all major cereal crops as a
component of breeding because of the availability of a large amount of basic genetic and
genomic resources (Gupta et al 2010)In the past few years major emphasis has also been
given to develop similar kind of genomic resources for improving productivity of pulse crops
(Varshney et al 2009 2010a Sato et al 2010) Use of molecular marker technology can
give real output in terms of high-yielding genotypes in pulses because high phenotypic
instability for important traits makes them difficult for improvement through conventional
breeding methods The progress made in using marker-assisted selection (MAS) in pulses has
been highlighted in a few recent reviews emphasizing on mapping genes controlling
agronomically important traits and molecular breeding of pulses in general (Liu et al 2007
and Varshney et al 2010) and faba bean in particular (Torres et al 2010)
Molecular markers especially DNA based markers have been extensively used in many areas
such as gene mapping and tagging (Kliebenstein et al 2002) Genetic distance between
parents is an important issue in mapping studies as it can determine the levels of segregation
distortion (Lambrides and Godwin 2007) characterization of sex and analysis of genetic
diversity (Erschadi et al 2000)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) offers us an appropriate relevant and a non-transgenic
strategy which enables us to introgress resistance from wild species (Ali et al 1997
Lambrides et al 1999 and Humphry et al 2002) Indirect selection using molecular markers
linked to resistance genes could be one of the alternate approaches as they enable MAS to
overcome the inaccuracies in the field evaluation (Selvi et al 2006) The use of molecular
markers for resistance genes is particularly powerful as it removes the delay in breeding
programmes associated with the phenotypic analysis (Karthikeyan et al 2012)

32 DEVELOPMENT OF MAPPING POPULATION
Mapping population for studying resistance to YMV disease was developed from the
crosses between the susceptible parent of LGG-759 used as female parent and the resistant
variety T9 used as a pollen parent The crosses were affected during kharif 2015-16 at the
College farm PJTSAU Rajendranagar The F1s were selfed to produce F2 during rabi 2015-
16 Thus the mapping population comprising of F2 generation was developed The mapping
populations F2 along with the parents and F1 were screened for yellow mosaic virus resistance
at ARS Madhira Khammam during late rabi (summer) 2015-16 One twenty five (125)
individual plants of the F2 population involving the above parents namely susceptible (LGG-
759 and the resistant T9 were developed in ARS Madhira Khammam) were screened for
YMV incidence
33 PHENOTYPING OF F2 MAPPING POPULATION
Using the disease screening methodology the F2 population along with the parents
and F1 were evaluated for yellow mosaic virus resistance under field conditions
331 Disease Screening Methodology
F2 population parents and F1 were screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus
resistance under field conditions using infector rows of the susceptible parent viz LBG-759
during late rabi 2015-16 at ARS Madhira Khammam As this Madhira region is hotspot for
YMV incidence The mapping population (F2) was sown in pots filled with soil Two rows of
the susceptible check were raised all around the experimental pots in order to attract white fly
and enhance infection of MYMV under field conditions All the recommended cultural
practices were followed to maintain the experiment except that insecticide sprays were not
given to encourage the white fly population for the spread of the disease
Thirty days after sowing whitefly started landing on the plants the crop was regularly
monitored for the presence of whitefly and development of YMV Data on number of dead
and surviving plants were recorded Infection and disease severity of MYMV progressed in
the next 6 weeks and each plant was rated on 0-5 scale as suggested by Bashir et al (2005)
which is described in Table 32 The disease scoring was recorded from initial flowering to
harvesting by weekly intervals

35 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The data recorded on various characters were subjected to the following
statistical analysis
1 Chi-Square Analysis
2 Analysis of variance
3 Estimation of Genetic Parameters
351 Chi-Square Analysis
Test of significance among F2 generation was done by chi-square method2 Test was
applied for testing the deviation of the observed segregation from theoretical segregation
Chi-square was calculated using the formula
E
EO 22 )(
Where
O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
= Summation of the data
If the calculated values of 2 is significant at 5 per cent level of significance is said
to be poor and one or more observed frequencies are not in accordance with the hypotheses
assumed and vice versa So it is also known as goodness of fit The degree of freedom (df) in
2 test is (n-1) Where n = number of classes
352 Analysis of Variance
The mean and variances were analyzed based on the formula given by Singh and
Chaudhary (1977)
3521 Mean

Variance = n-1 i=1
Where Yi = Individual value
Y = Population mean
sum d2
Standard deviation (SD) = Variance = N
Where
d = Deviation of individual value from mean and
N = Number of observations
353 Estimation of genetic parameters
Genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficients of variance were computed
based on mean and variance calculated by using the data of unreplicated treatments
3531 Phenotypic variance
The individual observations made for each trait on F2 population is used for calculating the
phenotypic variance
Phenotypic variance (2p) = Var F2
Where Var F2 = variance of F2 population
3532 Environmental variance
The average variance of parents and their corresponding F1 is used as environmental
variance for single crosses
Var P1 + Var P2 + Var F1
Environmental Variance (2e) = 3
Where
Var P1 = Variance of P1 parent
Var P2 = Variance of P2 parent and
Var F1 = variance of corresponding F1 cross
3533 Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation
The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was computed according to
Burton and Devane (1953)

Genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) = --------------------------------------- times100
Mean
2p
Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) = ------------------------------------ times100
Mean
Where
2g = Genotypic variance
2p = Phenotypic variance and X = General mean of the character
3534 Heritability
Heritability in broad sense was estimated as the ratio of genotypic to phenotypic
variance and expressed in percentage (Hanson et al 1956)
σsup2g
hsup2 (bs) = ------------
σsup2p
Where
hsup2(bs) = heritability in broad sense

3535 Genetic advance (GA)
This was worked out as per the formula proposed by Johnson et al (1955)
GA = k 2p H
Where
k = Intensity of selection
2p = Phenotypic standard deviation
H = Heritability in broad sense
The value of bdquok‟ was taken as 206 assuming 5 per cent selection intensity
3536 Genetic advance expressed as percentage over mean (GAM)
In order to visualize the relative utility of genetic advance among the characters
genetic advance as percent for mean was computed
GA
Genetic advance as percent of mean = ---------------- times 100

34 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM
341 Preparation of Stocks and Buffer solutions
Preparation of stocks and buffer solutions used for the present study are given in the
appendix III
342 DNA extraction by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987)
The genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue of 20 days old F2 population
MYMV susceptible LBG-759 and the MYMV resistant T9 parents and following the protocol
of Doyle and Doyle (1987)
Method
The leaf samples were ground with 500 μl of CTAB buffer transferred into an
eppendorf tubes and were kept in water bath at 65degC with occasional mixing of tubes The
tubes were removed from the water bath and allowed to cool at room temperature Equal
volume of chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture (24 1) was added into the tubes and mixed
thoroughly by gentle inversion for 15 minutes by keeping in rotator 12000 rpm (eppendorf
centrifuge) until clear separation of three layers was attained The clear aqueous phase
(supernatant) was carefully pipette out into new tubes The chloroform isoamyl alcohol (241
vv) step was repeated twice to remove the organic contaminants in the supernatant To the
supernatant cold isopropanol of about 05 to 06 volumes (23rd
of pipette volume) was
added The contents were mixed gently by inversion and keep at 4degC for overnight
Subsequently the tubes were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 12 min at 24degC temperature to
pellet out DNA The supernatant was discarded gently and the DNA pellet was washed with
70 ethanol and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 4-5 min This step was repeated twice The
supernatant was removed the tubes were allowed to air dry completely and the pellet was
dissolved in 50 μl T10E1 buffer DNA was stored at 4degC for further use
343 Quantification of DNA
DNA was checked for its purity and intactness and then quantified The crude
genomic DNA was run on 08 agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide following a
standard method (Sambrook et al 1989) and was visualized in a gel documentation system
(BIO- RAD)
Quantification by Nanodrop method
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm was used to assess the purity of DNA
A ratio of ~18 is generally accepted as ldquopurerdquo for DNA a ratio of ~20 is generally
accepted as ldquopurerdquo for RNA If the ratio is appreciably lower in either case it may indicate
the presence of protein phenol or other contaminants that absorb strongly at or near 280
nm The quantity of DNA in different samples varied from 50-1350 ng μl After
quantification all the samples were diluted to 50 ng μl and used for PCR reactions
344 Molecular analysis
Molecular analysis was carried out by parental polymorphism survey and
genotyping of F2 population with PCR analysis
345 PCR Confirmation Studies
DNA templates from resistant and susceptible parent were amplified using a set of 50
SSR primer pairs listed in table 31 Parental polymorphism genotyping studies on F2
population and bulk segregation analysis were conducted by using PCR analysis PCR
amplification was carried out on thermal cycler (AB Veriti USA) with the components and
cycles mentioned below in tables 32 and 33

347 PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND SCREENING OF MAPPING
POPULATION
A total number of 50 SSR primers (table no 31) were screened among two parents
for a parental polymorphism study 14 primers were identified as polymorphic (Table)
between two parents and they were further used for screening the susceptible and resistant
bulks through bulked segregant analysis Consistency of the bands was checked by repeating
the reaction twice and the reproducible bands were scored in all the samples for each of the
primers separately As the SSR marker is the co dominant marker bands were present in both
resistant and susceptible parents
348 BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS (BSA)
Bulk segregant analysis was used to identify the SSR markers that are associated with
MYMV resistance for rapid selection of genotypes in any breeding programme for resistance
Two bulks of extreme phenotypes resistant and susceptible were made for the BSA analysis
The resistant parent (T9) the susceptible parent (LBG 759) ten F2 individuals with MYMV
resistant score ndash 1 of 13 plants and the ten F2 individuals found susceptible with MYMV
susceptible score ndash 5 of 17 plants were separately used for the development of bulks of the
cross Equal quantities of DNA were bulked from susceptible individuals and resistant
individuals to give two DNA bulks namely resistant bulks (RB) and susceptible bulks (SB)
The susceptible and resistant bulks along with parents were screened with polymorphic SSR
which revealed polymorphism in parental survey The polymorphic marker amplified in
parents and bulks were tested with ten resistant and susceptible F2 plants Individually
amplified products were run on an agarose gel (3)

411 Development of Segregating Population
Blackgram MYMV resistant parent T9 and blackgram MYMV susceptible parent LBG-759 were
selected as parents and crossing was carried out during kharif 2015 The F1 obtained from that
cross were selfed to raise the F2 population during rabi 2015 F2 populations and parents were also
raised without any replications during late rabi 2015-16 The field outlook of the F2 population
along with parents developed for segregating population is shown in plate 41

Resistant parent T9 selected for crossing showed a disease score of 1 according to the Basak et al
2005 and LBG-759 was taken as susceptible parent showed a disease score of 5 whereas F1 plants
showed the mean score of 2 (table 41)
F1 s seeds were sowned and selfed to produce F2 mapping population F2 seed was sown during
late rabi 2015-16 F2 population was screened for disease resistance under field conditions along
with parents Of a total of 125 F2 plants 30 plants showed the less than 20 infection and
remaining plants showed gt50 infection respectively The frequency of F2 segregants showing
different scores of resistancesusceptibility to MYMV are presented in table 42 The disease
scoring symptoms are represented in plate 42
413 Inheritance of Resistance to Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus
Crossings were performed by taking highly resistant T9 as a male parent and susceptible LBG-
759 as female parent with good agronomic background The parents F1 were sown at College of
Agriculture Rajendranagar and F2 population of this cross sown at ARS Madhira Khammam in
late rabi season of 2015-16
The inheritance study of the 30 resistant and 95 susceptible F2 plants showing a goodness
of fit to expected 13 (Resistant Suceptible) ratio These results of the chai square test suggest a
typical monogenic recessive gene governing resistance and susceptibility reaction against MYMV
(Table 43 Plate 43)
Such monogenic recessive inheritance of YMV resistance is compared with the results
reported by Anusha et al(2014) Gupta et al (2013) Jain et al (2013) Reddy (2009)
Kundagrami et al (2009) Basak et al (2005) and Thakur et al (1977) However reports
indicating the involvement of two recessive genes in controlling YMV resistance in urdbean by
Singh (1990) verma and singh (2000) singh and singh (2006) Single dominant gene
controlling resistance to MYMV has been reported by Gupta et al (2005) and complementary
recessive genes are reported by Shukla 1985
These contradictory results can be possible due to difference in the genotype used the
strains of virus and interaction between them Difference in the nature of gene contributing
resistance to YMV might be attributed to differences in the source of resistance used in study
42 STUDY OF PARENTAL POLYMORPHISM AND
IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO YELLOW
MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE BY BULK SEGREGANT ANALYSIS
(BSA)
In the present study the major objective was to tag the molecular markers linked to yellow mosaic
virus using SSR marker in the developed F2 population obtained from the cross between LBG 759
times T9 as follows
421 Checking of Parental Polymorphism Using SSR markers
The LBG 759 (MYMV susceptible parent) and T9 (MYMV resistant parent) were initially
screened with 50 SSR markers to find out the markers showing polymorphism between the
parents Out of these 50 markers used for parental survey 14 markers showed polymorphism
between the parents (Fig 43) and the remaining markers were showed monomorphic (Fig 42)
28 of polymorphism was observed in F2 population of urdbean The sequence of polymorphic
primers annealing temperature and amplification are represented in the table 44 Similarly the
confirmation of F1 progeny was carried out using 14 polymorphic markers (Fig 44)
422 Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA)
The polymorphism study between the parents of LBG-759 and T9 was carried out using 50 SSR
markers Of which 14 markers namely viz CEDG073 CEDG075 CEDG091 CEDG092
CEDG097 CEDG116 CEDG128 CEDG139 CEDG147 CEDG154 CEDG156 CEDG176
CEDG185 CEDG199 showed polymorphism with a different allele size (bp) (Table 44) Bulk
segregant analysis was carried with these polymorphic markers to identify the markers linked to
the gene conferring resistance to MYMV For the preparation of susceptible and resistant bulks
equal amounts of DNA were taken from ten susceptible F2 individuals (MYMV score 5) and ten
resistant F2 individuals (MYMV score 1) respectively These parents and bulks were further
screened with the 14 polymorphic SSR markers which showed polymorphism in parental survey
using same concentration of PCR ingredients under the same temperature profile
Out of these 14 SSR markers one marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the bulks
as well as parents (Fig 44) When tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants CEDG185 marker
amplified an allele of 160 bp in the susceptible parent susceptible bulk (Fig 46) This marker
found to be amplified when tested with ten individual resistant F2 plants (Fig 46) Similarly same
marker amplified an allele of 190 bp in resistant parent resistant bulk
This marker gave amplified 170 bp amplicon when tested with ten individual susceptible F2
plants (Fig 45) The amplification of resistant parental allele in resistant bulk and susceptible
parental allele in susceptible bulk indicated that this marker is associated with the gene controlling
MYMV resistance in blackgram Similar results were found in mungbean using 361 SSR markers
(Gupta et al 2013) Out of 361 markers used 31 were found to be polymorphic between the
parents The marker CED 180 markers were found to be linked with resistance gene by the bulk
segregant analysis (Gupta et al 2013) Shoba et al (2012) identified the SSR marker PM384100
allele for late leaf spot disease resistance by bulked segregant analysis Identified SSR marker PM
384100 was able to distinguish the resistant and susceptible bulks and individuals for late leaf spot
disease in groundnut
In Blackgram several studies were conducted to identify the molecular markers linked to YMV
resistance by using the RAPD marker from azukibean which shows the specific fragment in
resistant parent and resistant bulk which were absent in susceptible parent and susceptible bulk
(Selvi et al 2006) Karthikeyan et al (2012) reported that RAPD marker OPBB05 from
azukibean which shows specific amplified size of 450 bp in susceptible parent bulk and five
individuals of F2 populations and another phenotypic (resistant) specific amplified size of 260 bp
for resistant parent bulk and five individuals of F2 population One species-specific SCAR marker
was developed for ricebean which resolved amplified size of 400bp in resistant parent and absent
in the bulk (Sudha et al 2012) Karthikeyan et al (2012) studied the SSR markers linked to YMV
resistance from azukibean in mungbean BSA Out of 45 markers 6 showed polymorphism
between parents and not able to distinguish the bulks Similar results were found in blackgram
using 468 SSR markers from soybean common bean red gram azuki bean Out of which 24 SSR
markers showed polymorphism between parents and none of the primer showed polymorphism
between bulks (Basamma 2011)
In several studies conducted earlier molecular markers have been used to tag YMV
resistance in many legume crops like soybean common bean pea (Gao et al 2004) and
peanut (Shoba et al 2012) Gioi et al (2012) identified and characterized SSR markers

linked to YMV resistance gene in cowpea by using 60 SSR markers The interval QTL mapping
showed 984 per cent of the resistance trait mapped in the region of three loci AGB1 VM31 amp
VM1 covered 321 cM in which 95 confidence interval for the CYMV resistance QTL
associated with VM31 locus was mapped within only 19 cM
Linkage of a RGA marker of 445 bp with YMV resistance in blackgram was reported by Basak et
al (2004) The resistance gene for yellow mosaic disease was identified to be linked with a SCAR
marker at a map distance of 68 cm (Souframanien and Gopalakrishna 2006) In another study a
RGA marker namely CYR1 was shown to be completely linked to the MYMIV resistance gene
when validated in susceptible (T9) and resistant (AKU9904) genotypes (Maiti et al 2011)
Prashanthi et al (2011) identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker OPQ-1
linked to YMV resistant among 130 oligonucleotide primers Dhole et al (2012) studied the
development of a SCAR marker linked with a MYMV resistance gene in Mungbean Three
primers amplified specific polymorphic fragments viz OPB-07600 OPC-061750 and OPB-
12820 The marker OPB-07600 was more closely linked (68 cM) with a MYMV resistance gene
From the present study the marker CEDG185 showed the polymorphism between the parents and
bulks and amplified with an allele size 190 bp and 160 bp in ten individual of both resistant and
susceptible plants respectively which were taken as bulks This marker CEDG185 can be
effectively utilized for developing the YMV resistant genotypes thereby achieving substantial
impact on crop improvement by marker assisted selection resulting in sustainable agriculture
Such cultivars will be of immense use for cultivation in the northern and central part of India
which is the major blackgram growing area of the country
44 EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN F2
SEGREGATING POPULATION
A total of 125 plants in the F2 generation were evaluated for the following morphological traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield along with
MYMV score The results are presented as follows
441 Analysis of Mean Range and Variance
In order to assess the worth of the population for isolating high yielding lines besides looking for
resistance to YMV the variability parameters like mean range and variance were computed for
eight quantitative traits viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to
50 per cent flowering number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod
single plant yield and the MYMV score (in field) in F2 population of the crosses LBG 759 X T9
The results are presented in Table 45
Mean values were high for days to 50 flowering (4434) and plant height (2330) number of
pods per plant (1491) Less mean was observed in other traits lowest mean was observed in single
plant yield (213)
Height of the plant ranged from20 to 32 with a mean of 2430 Number of branches ranged from 4
to 7 with a mean of 516 Number of clusters ranged from 3 to 9 with a mean of 435 Days to 50
flowering ranged from 38 to 50 with a mean of 4434 Number of pods per plant ranged from 10 to
21 with a mean of 1492 Pod length ranged from 40 to 80 with a mean of 604 Number of seeds
per pod ranged from 3 to 6 with a mean of 532 Seed yield per plant ranged from 08 to 443 with
a mean of 213
The F2 populations of this cross exhibited high variance for single plant yield (3051) number of
clusters (2436) pod length (2185) Less variance was observed for the remaining traits The
lowest variation was observed for the trait pod length (12)
The increase in mean values as a result of hybridization indicates scope for further improvement
in traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length and other
characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by facilitating selection of transgressive
segregants in later generations The results are in line with the findings of Basamma et al (2011)
The critical parameters are range and variance which decide the higher extreme value of the cross
The range observed was wider for number of pods per plant number of seeds per plant pod
length number of branches per plant plant height number of clusters days to 50 flowering and
single plant yield in F2 population Similar results were obtained by Salimath et al (2007) in F2
and F3 population of cowpea
442 Variability Parameters
The genetic gain through selection depends on the quantum of variability and extent to which it is
heritable In the present study variability parameter were computed for eight quantitative traits
viz height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 per cent flowering
number of pods per plant length of the pod number of seeds per pod single plant yield and the
MYMV score in F2 population The results are presented in Table 46
4421 Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variation
High PCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2989) number of clusters(2345) pod
length(2072)moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1823) number of
seeds per pod(1535)lowest estimates for days to flowering(752)
High GCV estimates were observed for single plant yield (2077) number of clusters(1435) pod
length(1663)Moderate estimates were observed for number of pods per plant(1046) number of
seeds per pod(929) lowest estimates for days to flowering(312)
The genotypic coefficients of variation for all characters studied were lesser than phenotypic
coefficient of variation indicating masking effects of environment (Table 46) showing greater
influence of environment on these traits These results are in accordance with the finding of Singh
et al (2009) Konda et al (2009) who also reported similar effects of environment Number of
seed per pod and number of pods per pod had moderate GCV and PCV values in the F2
populations Days to 50 flowering had low PCV and GCV values Low to moderate GCV and
PCV values for above three characters indicate the influence of the environment on these traits and
also limited scope of selection for improvement of these characters
The high medium and low PCV and GCV indicate the potentiality with which the characters
express However GCV is considered to be more useful than PCV for assessing variability since
it depends on the heritable portion of variability The difference between GCV and PCV for pods
per plant and seed yield per plant were high indicating the greater influence of environment on the
expression of these characters whereas for remaining other traits were least influenced by
environment
The results of the above experiments showed that variability can be created by hybridization
(Basamma 2011) However the variability generated to a large extent depends on the parental
genotype and the trait under study
4422 Heritability and Genetic advance
Heritability in broad sense was high for pod lenghth (8026) plant height(750) single plant
yield(6948) number of branches per plant(6433)number of clusters(6208) number of seeds per
pod(6052) Moderate values were observed for number of pods per plant (5573) days to
flowering(4305)
Genetic advance was high for number of pods per plant (555) days to flowering(553) plant
height(404) pod length(256) number of clusters(208) Low values observed for number of
branches per plant(179) number of seeds per pod(161) single plant yiield(130)
Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of clusters(4792)pod length(4234)
number of pods per plant(3726) single plant yiield(3508) number of branches per plant(3478)
number of seeds per pod(3137) low values were observed for plant height(16) days to
flowering(147)
In this study heritability in broad sense and genetic advance as percent of mean was high for
number of pods per plant single plant yield number of branches per plant pod length indicating
that these traits were controlled by additive genes indicating the availability of sufficient heritable
variation that could be made use in the selection programme and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations Similar results were found by Rahim et al (2011) (Arulbalachandran et
al 2010) (Singh et al 2009) and Konda et al (2009)
Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad sense was
observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-additive genetic
variance and epistatic and dominant environmental factors controlling the inheritance of these
traits Similar results were found by Ghafoor and Ahmad (2005)
High heritability and moderate genetic advance as percent of mean was observed in days to 50
flowering indicating that these traits were controlled by dominant epistasis which was similar to
Muhammad Siddique et al (2006) Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
clusters and shows moderate heritability in broad sense
Future line of work
The results of the present investigation indicated the variability for productivity and disease
related traits can be generated by hybridization involving selected diverse parents
1 In the present study hybridized population involving two genotypes viz LBG 759 and T9
parents resulted in increased variability heritability and genetic advance as percent mean values
These populations need to be handled under different selection schemes for improving
productivity
2 SSR marker tagged to yellow mosaic virus resistant gene can be used for screening large
germplasm for YMV resistance
3 The material generated can be forwarded by single seed descent method to develop RILS
4 It can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified marker

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study an attempt was made to identify molecular markers linked to Mungbean
Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease resistance through bulk segregant analysis (BSA) in
Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L) Hepper) This work was preferred in order to generate required
variability by carefully selecting the parental material aiming for improvement of yield and
disease resistance of adapted cultivar Efforts were also made to predict the variability created
by hybridization using parameters like phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) and
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) heritability and genetic advance and further to
understand the inter-relationship among the component traits of seed yield through
correlation studies in blackgram in F2 population The field work was carried out at
Agricultural Research Station College of Agriculture PJTSAU Madhira Telangana
Phenotypic data particular to quantitative characters viz pods per plant number of seeds per
pod pod length and seed yield per plant were noted on F2 populations of cross LBG 759 X
T9 The results obtained in the present study are summarized below
1 In the present study we selected LBG 759 (female) as susceptible parent and T9
(resistant ) as resistant parent to MYMV Crossings were performed to produce F1 seed F1s
were selfed to generate the F2 mapping population A total of 125 F2 individual plants along
with parents and F1s were subjected to natural screening against yellow mosaic virus using
standard disease score scale
2 The field screening of 125 F2 individuals helped in identification of 12 MYMV resistant
individuals 16 moderately MYMV resistant individuals 40 MYMV moderately susceptible
individuals 32 susceptible individuals and 23 highly susceptible individuals
3 Goodness of fit test (Chi-square test) for F2 phenotypic data of the cross LBG 759 X T9
indicated that the MYMV resistance in blackgram is governed by a single recessive gene in
the ratio of 31 ie 95 susceptible 30 resistant plants Among 50 primers screened fourteen
primers were found to be polymorphic between the parents amounting to a polymorphic
percentage 28 showed polymorphism between the parents
4 The polymorphic marker CEDG 185 clearly expressed polymorphism between PARENTS
BULKS in bulk segregant analysis with a unique fragment size of 190bp AND 160 bp of
resistant and susceptible bulks respectively and the results confirmed the marker putatively
linked to MYMV resistance gene This marker can be used for mapping resistance gene and
marker validation studies
5 F2 population was evaluated for productivity for nine different morphological traits
namely height of the plant number of branches number of clusters days to 50 flowering
number of pods per plant pod length number of seeds per pod single plant yield and
MYMV score
6 Heritability in broad sense and Genetic advance as percent of mean was high for number of
pods per plant single plant yield plant height number of branches per plant and pod length
indicating that these traits were controlled by additive genes and can easily be transferred to
succeeding generations
7 Moderate genetic advance as percent of mean values and moderate heritability in broad
sense was observed in number of seeds per pod which indicate that the greater role of non-
additive genetic variance and epistetic and dominant environmental factors controlling the
inheritance of these traits
8 For some traits like number of pods per plant single plant yield the difference between
GCV and PCV were high reveals the greater influence of environment on the expression of
these characters whereas other traits were least affected by environment The increase in
mean values as a result of hybridization indicates an opportunity for further improvement in
traits like number of pods per plant number of seeds per pod and pod length test weight and
other characters in subsequent generations (F3 and F4) there by gives a chance for selection
of transgressive segregants in later generations
9 This SSR marker CEDG 185 can be used to screen the large germplasm for YMV
resistance The material generated can be forwarded by single seed-descent method to
develop RILS and can be used for mapping YMV resistance gene and validation of identified
markers
