Abstract

The present study was aimed to identify potential Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) resistant donors and YMV linked markers for easy and efficient screening of germplasm. Forty - six blackgram genotypes were screened for Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) tolerance and yield traits under natural field conditions during summer, 2020 at Dryland farm, S.V.Agricultural College, Tirupati along with molecular validation with 15 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) markers associated with YMV tolerance. The genotypes viz., LBG-884, LBG-946, TBG-141, TBG-129, TBG-138, TBG-139, TBG-130 and GBG-1 displayed zero YMV incidence. TBG-104 and VBN-6 were identified as ideal cultivars for yield, earliness and YMV tolerance. The markers viz., CEDG 097, CEDG 180, CEDG 044, and CEDG 139 were adjudged as informative markers as evident indicated by their high PIC scores and Nei’s diversity index values. On scrutiny of the selection efficiency of all the alleles, CEDG 180 was found to be more efficient in differentiating resistant and susceptible genotypes. Visual comparison of trait profiles using genotype by trait (GT) biplot analysis identified the genotypes viz., TBG-104 and VBN-6 as ideal cultivars that serve as most desirable parents in breeding programs aimed at developing short duration, high-yielding varieties with YMV tolerance.

Keywords: Blackgram, YMV, Molecular validation, SSR markers, GT biplot analysis.
