Current Status of Geminivirus in India: RNAi Technology, A Challenging Cure

Avinash Marwal, Rajneesh Prajapat, Anurag Kumar Sahu and R.K. Gaur

Abstract: Geminivirus are a large diverse family of plant viruses that infect a broad variety of plants and cause significant loss to Agricultural crops and ornamental plants in India. The vector white fly is the carrier of these viruses. This review focuses on the current status of Geminivirus in India and research related to it. Researches being carried out on Geminivirus include their molecular characterization, serological and computational characterization. Many costly measures in controlling the infections and increasing the crop yield have been applied. A cost effective appraise against these viruses is the relevance of RNAi Technology. RNAi is a challenging approach in which an interference RNA molecule put a check halt on the multiplication of Begomovirus in plants through its ability to form a Dicer complex.

shubham raut:
my father has chilli farms in dahanu which lies in thane dist
we have our chilli plants infected by geminivirus please help us with a solution

	24 December, 2012 Avinash Marwal: Dear Shubham raut, use fresh upper layer of curd or butter milk and mix with equal quantity of water and spray it on the fields plant. though it would cure the disease upto a certain level but not fully but it will stop further geminivirus infection upto a certain level Good luck
