Abstract

Incidence of chilli leaf curl disease on chilli crop in major chilli growing regions of Madhya Pradesh was surveyed during kharif 2014. The survey revealed that the chilli crop was severely infected (88-100%) by chill leaf curl virus (ChiLCuV). Amplification of â satellite DNA indicated that the pathogen is a monopartite begomovirus. Full length sequences of Coat Protein gene and â satellite DNA of the infected samples confirmed that the pathogen is ChiLCV. Pathogenicity studies demonstrated that these isolates are indeed highly virulent. A new universal primer to amplify â satellite DNA was also reported in the current study.
