Orthotospovirus arachinecrosis commonly known as Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV), is the causal agent for necrosis disease in black gram. GBNV is the second most important challenge to black gram production in major growing areas following yellow mosaic disease. Symptoms of necrosis disease of black gram include severe downward curling and twisting of leaf lamina, veinal necrosis, petiole necrosis, bud necrosis, and necrotic streaks on the stem. Infection at early growth stages of black gram leads to plant death, while surviving plants exhibited stunted growth with a significant reduction in pod yield. The GBNV-BG isolate was maintained in pure form on cowpea cv. C-152, resulted in chlorotic and necrotic local lesions on primary leaves at seven days post-inoculation. The pathogenicity of GBNV on black gram (LBG-645) was further confirmed by artificial sap inoculation. Amplification of the coat protein gene of GBNV was confirmed through RT-PCR using gene-specific primers, producing an amplicon of 800 bp. Sequence analysis of the coat protein gene revealed that the present study isolates OQ683310 and OR295403 shared sequence identity of 98.0 % and 99.3 % respectively at the nucleotide level, with other isolates in the NCBI database. The phylogenetic analysis of the coat protein gene revealed that the isolates under this study were closely linked with the GBNV tomato isolate from Tamil Nadu (MN718651 and MZ505083).
