Summary
This review is given on the origin and interrelationship of blackgram and greengram: the symptoms, mode of transmission, and host range of important diseases, namely: mungbean yellow mosaic virus, leaf crinkle virus, leaf curl virus, mosaic mottle virus, Cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, root and stem rots, bacterial leaf spot and halo blight. The screening for resistance, sources of resistance, including interspecific hybridization, and induced mutations, as well as the genetics of resistance are treated along with suggestions for future breeding strategies of these crops.

Greengram is relatively drought tolerant. It is cultivated in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Thailand, Laos, Kampuchea, Vietnam, eastern Malaysia, Southern China and in the relatively dry eastern parts of Java, (Jain and Mehra 1978). In the recent past it has been introduced into the eastern and central parts of Africa, the West Indies and the U.S.A. It is also grown in the Philippines, Nepal, Taiwan and Indonesia. Blackgram has greater water requirements than greengram. It is grown in India, Pakistan, Srilanka and Burma (Jain and Mehra 1978).
