Molecular Detection and Diversity Analysis of Some Potyviruses Associated with Mosaic Diseases of Papaya, Common Bean and Potato Growing in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal.

Environmental condition of sub- Himalayan West Bengal and Brahmaputra valley of Assam is conducive to year round production of vegetables and fruit crops. The crops of the region are also proving to viral diseases. Several symptoms of viral diseases are found in the fields of sub-Himalayan West Bengal. Mosaic symptoms one of the important disease symptom of the area. Mosaic symptoms containing samples of papaya, common bean and potato of the region were studied for causal pathogenic viruses of the crops. As most the symptoms matched with potyvirus symptoms found elsewhere. The detection of the viruses was made by universal potyvirus primers. Analysis of the viruses was also made for identification of the viruses. .
