Abstract

Yellow mosaic virus (YMV) causes a greater loss of electrolytes from infected leaf tissues ofVigna aconitifolia (mothbean). Four highly susceptible entries of mothbean were examined for the pattern of electrolyte loss after virus has invaded the tissues. It was observed that YMV triggered a heavy loss of ions at initial stages of disease development, but the loss receded at advanced stages of infection. Maximal damage to electrolytes occurred at the second stage, showing about 50% infection. The findings are interesting as the present observations on viral disease differ from other plant diseases.
