Studies on screening and evaluation of clonal progenies of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) for resistance against leaf curl virus (LCV) diseases were conducted under AICRP on Potato, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (.). In present investigation, Screening against leaf curl virus revealed that most of the genotypes showed moderate resistance against leaf curl virus, except 14 genotypes (CIP 398203-2-1, CIP 304014-2-1 and KufriPukhraj of F1C2 progenies and CIP 398203-2-2-1, CIP 302431-4-1-1, CIP 304012-1-4-1, CIP 304012-6-2-3, CIP 303405-7-4-1, CIP 303405-9-1- 1, CIP 304146-11-2-2, CIP 304014-1-3-1, CIP 304014-12-2-1, CIP 398181-10-1-1, CIP 304124-7-2-1 of F1C3) which showed highly resistance reaction against leaf curl virus. These resistant genotypes can be exploited for developing high yielding and disease resistant varieties in potato. | Identification of promising clones of potato for resistance against leaf curl virus
