Effect of sterility mosaic disease on the physiological and biochemical aspects of pigeonpea

Abstract

Biotic and abiotic stress causes many physiological and biochemical alterations in plants. Some alterations result from stress on the plants, and some are related to the plant's response to stress. Pigeonpea sterility mosaic disease is one of the major constraints to the production of pigeon pea, an important pulse of India. This disease is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. In this report, the various biochemical parameters of PPSMV-infected and healthy plants were evaluated.
