Abstract
The major threat to mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivation in the Indian subcontinent is yellow mosaic diseases (YMD), caused by Begomovirus containing bipartite genomes (DNA-A and DNA-B). In the current study, we address the epidemiology of begomoviruses infecting mungbean plants in three YMD hotspot regions of India. Full-length genomic components of the viruses from the symptomatic leaves were cloned by rolling circle amplification (RCA) and sequenced. Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) was detected in Bihar and mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in Assam and Orissa. Furthermore, we studied the population structure and genetic diversity of MYMV and MYMIV isolates of Vigna species reported to date from India. Interestingly, based on phylogenetics, we observed independent evolution of DNA-A and coevolution of DNA-B of MYMV and MYMIV. This finding is supported by the high mutation rate and recombination events in DNA-B, particularly in BV1 and BC1 genes over DNA-A, with high transition/transversion bias (R) for DNA-A over DNA-B. To investigate the effect of Begomovirus infection in plants, we constructed infectious clones (i.e. MYMV and MYMIV) and inoculated them to eight mungbean genotypes, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) through agroinfiltration. The infected plants developed varying degrees of typical YMD symptoms. Based on the disease severity score and viral titre, mungbean genotypes were categorized as highly susceptible to MYMV (ML267) and MYMIV (K851) and immune to MYMV (PDM139, SML668) and MYMIV (Pusa Vishal). Conclusively, our findings may help prevent an epidemic of YMD in Vigna species and develop mungbean genotypes resistant to YMD via breeding programs.
