Inter-specific hybridization for yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) resistance followed by selection in the segregating generations is an effective method for obtaining desirable recombinants. Several wild species of cultivated okra showed high degree of YVMV resistance. However, resistant varieties developed by various research organizations by inter-specific hybridization have started showing sign of susceptibility, probably due to arrival of new virus strains. Hence, it is imperative to find diverse source of resistance to YVMV and evolve resistant varieties by suitable gene introgression...
