Changes in agronomic characteristics and content of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus roxb.) Infected with arhar mosaic virus

(Phaseolus aureus Roxb.} cv. Sheela as influenced by arhar mosaic virus isolates (ASM and AMM) infection was studied. lsolate ASM was causing more reduction in growth and yield in comparison to AMM isolate. lnfected plant samples have lower dry weight but higher moisture contents in comparison to their healthy counterparts. The protein content was higher in healthy mung parts than virus isolate infected mung plant parts. The protein contents was highest in seed, followed by leaf, stem and root. Virus infection reduced the protein percentage in seed, leaf, and stem but it was same in healthy and AMM isolate infected mung root.
