Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important crop grown worldwide for its use as spice and vegetable. Murda complex is the most destructive syndrome causing substantial economic losses in chilli production. Severe leaf curling, leaf distortion, vein banding, reduced leaf size and stunted growth are typical symptoms of the viral infection. Chilli is known to be infected by many viruses and association of Geminivirus with murda complex is under question as the complex disease doesn’t associate with whiteflies. |
