Introgression of mungbean yellow mosaic virus resistance in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper and purity testing of F1 hybrids using SSRs

The present study was designed to transfer mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) resistance in urdbean from ricebean. Four MYMV-resistant ricebean genotypes (RBL1, RBL6, RBL35, and RBL50) were hybridized as males with the MYMV-susceptible urdbean line PS 1 using hand emasculation and pollination techniques under field conditions.
