Advances in Resistance Breeding against Yellow Mosaic Virus in Blackgram: A Review

Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV), primarily transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), poses a critical threat to blackgram (Vigna mungo) cultivation across tropical and subtropical regions. The virus causes severe yield losses by inducing yellow mosaic symptoms, stunted growth and poor pod development. This review summari...
