Abstract
Okra enation leaf curl virus (OELCuV), a begomovirus, is an emerging serious constraint for okra production in India. OELCuV was earlier reported in Haryana, Gujarat and Karnataka. In the current study, a survey was conducted on okra crop in the other predominant okra growing regions of India and identified for the first time, a widespread symptomology of OELCuV. The disease incidence was recorded between 5 and 74% in all the surveyed regions. The diseased samples collected from all the locations were amplified with coat protein specific new primer in PCR. The amplicons were sequenced and deposited to NCBI Gene Bank. The finding could be highly useful in okra breeding programs against OELCuV.
