In agricultural crops, interspecific hybridization is a useful tool to introduce novel variations for desirable traits across species and to ultimately widen the available genetic variation. Mungbean yellow mosaic virus disease (MYMV) is a major devastating disease in mungbean crop. Non availability of resistant source in cultivated mung bean, the closely related semi-domesticated species viz., Vigna stipulacea with MYMV resistant genes could be introgressed in cultivated mungbean (Vigna radiata). | Development of MYMV resistant pre-breeding lines in mungbean (Vigna radiata ) through interspecific hybridizationDevelopment of MYMV resistant pre-breeding lines in mungbean (Vigna radiata ) through interspecific hybridization
