Abstract

A distinct strain of Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV)
infecting soybean was reported from India in 2013. Until
now there are no resistant sources against CPMMV disease.
In the present study 133 genotypes were screened and
three sources of resistance against CPMMV in soybean were
identified. The resistance was confirmed by sap inoculation
and the presence of the virus was also confirmed through
RT-PCR by designing primer specific to coat protein gene
and NaBp region of CPMMV genome. The lines which were
found to be resistant were further used to develop mapping
population.
