Abstract

Chilli Leaf Curl Disease (ChLCD) is an important limiting factor affecting chilli production on Indian subcontinent and is caused by begomoviruses. During November’ 2011, very high disease incidence (up to 100% of plants) was observed in chilli fields near Meerut district of Western Uttar Pradesh, India with Symptoms such as upward leaf curling, crowding and yellowing of leaves and stunting of whole plants. In this paper we report the evidence of a Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV) and associated betasatellite responsible for the leaf curl disease in Chilli.
