REACTION OF EXOTIC AND INDIGENOUS CAPSICUM GENOTYPES AGAINST PAKISTANI ISOLATES OF CHILI VEINAL MOTTLE VIRUS
Abstract
Viral diseases are considered to be the major limiting factor in chili pepper production. Chili veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV) is one of the important viruses, which decrease yield by 50%. Screening of 32 (exotic and indigenous) chili pepper germplasm against ChiVMV through symptomatology and serology (DAS-ELISA) under glasshouse conditions showed that all local cultivars (12) except Rawala and Gola Peshawari, are susceptible to ChiVMV, however, Asian Vegetable Research Center (AVRDC) lines CV-1, CV-2, CV-3, CV-7. CV-11 and CV-12 were found highly resistant to both Sindh and Punjab isolates under controlled conditions.
